 In the summer after the signing of the Treaty of Greenville , which restored peace between Indians and settlers , Alder decided to return to the white community . He married Barshaw , and settled in Pleasant Valley , in the area of Jerome Township , about 5 miles ( 8 km ) north of present @-@ day Plain City , Ohio . He built a cabin , took up the lifestyle of a farmer , and raised hogs , cows and horses . He sold milk and butter he made to the Indians , and pork and horses to the whites . Alder began adopting the white community 's habits , and learned English from the other white settlers . While living in Pleasant Valley , Barshaw struggled to integrate with settler life . She gave birth to two of Alder 's children , but both died in infancy . The couple decided the Great Spirit was opposed to their marriage , and separated . Alder gave Barshaw most of the couple 's property , including the cabin , all of the cows , seven horses , and about $ 200 in silver . Alder kept only two horses and the hogs .
