The Muscatatuck River in southeast Indiana is a tributary of the White River. The name may be Shawnee and means Swamp People, both the village and the river using the same name.
Does anyone know where the Shawnee village of Muscatatuck was located? Possibly in the Vernon, Indiana area. The village would have been there until at least 1818, possibly much longer, some Shawnees may still live in the area. If so, I would like to meet them. (I once had Shawnee family living in Lexington Indiana, a few miles south of Vernon)
