S. government.  This act established Well&#8217;s right to occupy and develop the land with an option to buy at $1.25 per acre (rather than having to bid for the land, as was usually the case) when the area was opened for sales by the U. S. Land Office.  Wells created on these lands a farm that was worked by 12 African-Americans, who were held as slaves through life-time indentures, contrary to the prohibition against slavery declared in the Northwest Ordinance.<\/p>\n<p>William Wells had been captured as a sixteen-year-old by Miami warriors raiding in Kentucky.  He was adopted by Chief Graviahatte (the Porcupine), taught Indian ways, and, because of his red hair, given the name Apekonit (Wild Carrot).  Wells married Manwangophath (Sweet Breeze), the daughter of war chief Little Turtle, and participated in the early battles led by his father-in-law against the United States forces.<\/p>\n<p>In 1794, Wells changed sides and served Gen. Anthony Wayne as his &#8220;chief of spies,&#8221; or head scout, in the general&#8217;s campaign against Indian resistance, which reached a climax on August 20 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.<\/p>\n<p>Wells had a stormy career as Indian agent and interpreter in the many negotiations between the Indians and the government; between 1796 and 1809 he accompanied Chief Little Turtle on his four trips to the nation&#8217;s capital.<\/p>\n<p>Wells was killed by Potawatomi Indians in battle near Fort Dearborn (Chicago) in 1812 at the outbreak of the War of 1812.  He had left Fort Wayne to try to lead the Fort Dearborn occupants, which included his niece, to safety.  After he was killed, the Potawatomi ate his heart in the warriors&#8217; belief that they would gain Wells&#8217;s renowned courage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/wells\/81643.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Judi Wire, WCBA President, displays one of the &quot;Tin Caps&quot;.
