A two-page, handwritten census of the "mixed band" of Seneca and Shawnee led by Civil John (Me-tho-mea), possibly taken by an appointed Indian agent, in present-day Ohio circa 1810s-1830s, regarding the names of the heads of families, the number, age range, and gender of individuals per family, the number of horses per family, and any remarks. At one time, the group totalled 250 people and 162horses. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 strong-armed the Shawnee and other Native American tribes tomove west of the Mississippi River. In 1831, the Seneca-Shawnee band ceded their land near Lewiston, Ohio for landwithin the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma).</div>
