Personal details
Known for	Signing the Walking Purchase agreement

Lappawinsoe was a Lenape-Delaware chief. He sold the land of his tribe to Thomas Penn, the son of William Penn, through the Walking Purchase agreement. "Chief Lappawinsoe, believing the treaty genuine and assuming a man could only walk 40 miles, agreed to the WALK!"

[The white runners] should have walkt along by the River Delaware or the next Indian path to it… should have walkt for a few Miles and then have sat down and smoakt a Pipe, and now and then have shot a Squirrel, and not have kept up the Run, Run all day.
