Gnadenhütten massacre on March 8, 1782 was a mass murder of ninety-six Christian Munsee American Indians, including sixty women and children, by American militia from Pennsylvania during the American Revolutionary War. The incident took place near Gnadenhutten, Ohio.
In early March 1782, a raiding party of 160 Pennsylvania militiamen under Lieutenant Colonel David Williamson rounded up the Christian Munsees and accused them of taking part in the ongoing raids into Pennsylvania. They truthfully denied the charges, but the Pennsylvanians held a council and voted to kill them all anyway. Some militiamen opposed to this action withdrew from the area. The Munsees, informed of their fate, spent the night praying and singing hymns.
The next morning on 8 March, the Christian Munsees were killed as they knelt, their skulls crushed with a mallet. In all, 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children were murdered and then scalped. The corpses were then heaped into the mission buildings, and the town was burned to the ground. The other abandoned Moravian towns were then burned as well. Two boys, one of whom had been scalped, survived to tell of the massacre.
