 | | In 1787 many Ohio Pekowi and Kispoko Shawnees, tiring of conflict with the United States, fled westward to Spanish territory (Perry County, Missouri), where they were joined in about 1814 by the Alabama Shawnees, primarily Hathawekelas. |
 | | After the peace the Ohio Shawnees, largely Mekoches and Chillicothes, established two towns north of the treaty line, Wapakoneta (Auglaize County, Ohio) and Lewistown (Logan County, Ohio), from which the modern Loyal and Eastern bands of Shawnees, respectively, are descended. |
 | | Despite their commitment to peace, however, the Ohio Shawnees were confined to three reservations in 1817, and in 1831 they were persuaded to sign removal treaties. |
