The other reserves on and around this ground

1818–1850 — Godfroy, Charley, the Ten Mile Reserve, and the Longlois

Godfroy: Francis Godfroy, war chief and the Richardvilles' great rival in the trade, took his grants where his trading houses stood, down the Wabash. The 1834 treaty, commuting older grants, recites four sections on the Salamonie granted him at St. Mary's in 1818; the 1826 schedule gave him a section on the north side of the Wabash above Richardville's spring tract, with his brother Louison's section above that and Francis Lafontaine's above Louison's — a staircase of chiefly sections up the river. None of the Godfroy sections lay in Allen County, and this section records them because the 1840 treaty closed his account here: 15,000 dollars to his children, his estate locked unsold until the youngest came of age. The Godfroy Reserve country became the Wabash-valley towns below Huntington; his Mount Vernon trading post site is Huntington County ground.

On this ground: Allen County's own named reserves, after the six miles square itself, were the individual sections of 1818 — Charley's section on the west bank of the St. Marys and the Richardville family sections below the Greenville line, covered in the preceding entry — and the Ten Mile Reserve, the tribal tract along the Maumee east of the town whose name survives in the 1838 treaty's recognition of White Loon (Wa-pe-mung-ah) as owner of "one section of land, at the crossing of Longlois's creek, on the Ten mile reserve." The creek's name carries the other family this section was asked after. The Longlois were a French-Miami trading family of the Maumee and the Wabash: the record places Paul Longlois in the 1834 schedule with one section on the Wabash including his field, and Paul and Peter Longlois Jr. with half sections each in the Potawatomi treaty of 1832 — Wabash and Tippecanoe country, not Allen County. Locally, the family's trace is the creek on the Ten Mile Reserve and a line in a statute: on 1 May 1850, Congress, extending the removal exemptions first granted for Frances Slocum's family, exempted from removal additional Miami reserve-holders and their descendants, "the Longlois" named among them. The reserve families who held treaty sections — Richardville's descendants, the Slocum-Peru line, White Loon, the Longlois — are the reason a Miami presence in Indiana survived the removal the next entries record.
