is a village located on Clear Creek, known today as Clear Fork, near the abandoned town of Newville, Ohio. The site is on a high hill just north of the junction of Clear Creek and the Black Fork of the Mohican River. The reference to the village sitting on a "high hill" counters many popular misconceptions that the village was in low lying areas that would later be submerged by the damming of the ClearFork River to create Pleasant Hill Lake. Hell Town was located along a "war trail" used by Native Americans in the region, which ran from a point about south from Sandusky, Ohio, thence north-northeast into the Cuyahoga River valley. This trail was later used by white settlers and is today known as State Route 95. Rerouted in the 1940s, a portion of this old road and war path are buried under Pleasant Hill Lake. Helltown was situated a mile below Newville, on the Clear Fork of the Mohican, in what is known as the Darling settlement. Helltown was abandoned in 1782, after the massacre of the Moravian Indians at Gnadenhutten and a new village was founded on the Black Fork, where a more favorable site for defense was obtained. From History of Richland County. By A J. Baughman. CHAPTER XVI. Monroe Township: William Norris, who lives on a 500-acre farm in "Possum Valley" also owns a fine tract of land which was a part of the original Darling tract, at the site of the former Indian village of Helltown, where the first bridge below Newville crosses the Clearfork.
Jerometown
A village of the Delaware tribe, which, was located on the south side of the present-day Jerome Fork of the Mohican River. It was named for Jean Baptiste Jerome, a French-Canadian fur-trader ; however, it should perhaps have been more appropriately named " Pipe's town". According to the local-histories: by the year 1808-09 early European-American settlers to the area of what is now Jeromesville in Ashland County, Ohio, on the Jerome Fork of the Mohican River found Delaware-tribe people living about three-fourths of a mile south-by-south-west of the present site of Jeromesville. Near that native village of "Jerometown" was the cabin of "Old Captain Pipe",
Mohican Johns town
Mohican John's town was said, by 19th-century historians, to have been the same as the native-village of "Jerometown", located just south of Jeromesville, Ohio. However, surveys done in the 1760s, located "Mohican John's town" in the vicinity of present-day Mifflin, Ohio. It is uncertain if the earlier "Mohican John's town" Indian village had perhaps been later moved to the alternate location before the 1800s; or if instead, local-historians merely misinterpreted the earlier "John's town" to be the same location as "Jerometown". Regardless, the "Mohican John's town" of the 1760s, was undoubtedly upon the Black Fork of the Mohican River. Knapp's History of Ashland County accurately refers to the native-village near present-day Jeromesville as being named "Jerometown" by 1808. But Knapp's History errs in attributing the original village of "Mohican John's Town" to be the same native village as Jerometown. The later historians never noticed Knapp's obvious contradiction, and they simply repeated his error.
Greentown
Greentown was located west of Perrysville, Ohio. It was burned to the ground by Caucasian pioneer-settlers during the War of 1812 in August 1812; but its Native-American inhabitants had already abandoned it for safety, elsewhere. Greentown was said to be named for Thomas Green, a Caucasian, and who was a Tory, who after aiding the Mohawks in the Wyoming massacre of 1778 sought retreat and seclusion with the Indians in the west.
Coshocton
Coshocton was settled in 1778, when Lenape leader, Pipe, and the warlike members of his tribe, departed from the Tuscarawas and relocated on the Walhonding River, about fifteen miles above the present site of Coshocton, Ohio.
Kilbuck
Kilbuck is also known as Bucktown. This village seems to have been named in honor of "Chief Killbuck".
