Lost Dauphin of the Mohawks and the Wisconsin relocation
Eleazer Williams, a Mohawk deacon and alleged Lost Dauphin, influenced the Oneidas to move west to Wisconsin. He served as a spy, built a church at Oneida Castle, and pressed for a vast Native Christian confederacy while promoting displacement policies. His life ended in poverty after failed plots and embezzlement accusations.
