    Notes:
    William Jackson was an adopted captive who lived with the Shawnees. After the treaty of Greenville, life became difficult for William Jackson and the other whites living red. Traders hooked a large proportion of the red population on alcohol created a sub-nation of alcoholics and therefore demanded furs for whiskey. The land was already over-hunted by both reds and whites, and game became even more scarce. Those with eyes clear enough to see what was happening were disgusted by the general discenegration of red society and were ripe for the political movement of Prophet when it came along. During this time, many of the whites living red despaired and like George Ash, Bill Cunningham, Christopher Miller, and many others, they tried to come back to live with their white relatives. One of these was William Jackson. But he soon felt too uncomfortable among the whites and went back to the Shawnees. William Jackson's Shawnee name was Fish, and he became the leader of a band of Shawnees that became known as the Fish Band.
    The missionary Isaac McCoy wrote that he tried to convince Capt. Cornstalk and Capt. William Perry, the Shawnee Chiefs, to agree to the establishment of a mission school among them. McCoy says that they replied negatively, saying that "they felt little desire for schools and still less to hear preaching."
    
    However, McCoy made a deal with " a white man by the name of Fish, who had lived with the Shawnees from a small boy and was in all respects identified with them, had become a principal of a clan which had lived many years in the state of Missouri and was a good deal civilized."
    
    See McCoy, p. 404 George Vashon, the indian agent, wrote of his approval for the mission at the request of Fish, who was also called William Jackson, a white man raised with the Shawnees...Fish, the Shawnee chief, has a son by the name of Paschal who was put to school when he was a boy. He can speak English very well. He is a sober, steady, moral, good man. He had an Indian family and is industrously employed in farming..."
