  Gelelemend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gelelemend (1737–1811), known to whites as Killbuck or John Killbuck Jr., was a Delaware (Lenape) chief during the American Revolutionary War.
His name signifies "a leader." He was born near the Lehigh River in Pennsylvania, son of Bemino (John Killbuck Sr.), a renowned war leader of the French and Indian War, and grandson of Netawatwees ("Newcomer"), principal chief of the Delaware.
In 1774, White Eyes replaced the aged Netawatwees as principal chief, and Gelelemend served as councilor of the turtle clan.

While Gelelemend counseled peace with the American colonists, Hopocan, the leader of the Delaware war faction, opposed such a course as the American Revolution unfolded.
Eventually, Hopocan's arguments for war prevailed, and Gelelemend and his followers, fearing reprisals from Hopocan, agreed to settle on an island in the Allegheny River (at the suggestion of an American military officer in western Pennsylvania).
Gelelemend was dedicated to the maintenance of peaceful relations with the Americans; however, his Christianity and his many white friends made him suspect among his own people.
