1843 certificate of appointment of William Waggoner as Postmaster at White Eyes Plains, in Coshocton, OH. Signed by Charles A Wickliffe, Postmaster General. "White Eyes Township was organized in 1823. It was named for White Eyes, a Lenape (Delaware) chief who lived in the Tuscarawas valley. White Eyes, named Koquethagechton (c. 1730 – 5 November 1778), was Chief Sachem of the Lenape (Delaware) people in the Ohio Country during the era of the American Revolution. Sometimes known as George White Eyes, or Captain Grey Eyes al. Sir William, his given name in Lenape was rendered in many spelling variations in colonial records. By 1773 he was Speaker of the Delaware Head Council and known as one of the most important councilors. White Eyes was a war chief and a tireless mediator in turbulent times, negotiating the first Indian treaties with the fledgling United States, and always working toward his ultimate goal of establishing a secure Indian territory. His assassination by an American militia officer is believed to have been covered up by United States officials." from wikipedia. Mounted on black paper, adhesive stains visible. [ Coshocton Ohio
