Enoch Brown school massacre
1764 massacre in Pennsylvania, United States
On July 26, 1764, four Delaware (Lenape) Native Americans entered a settlers' log schoolhouse in the Province of Pennsylvania and killed the schoolmaster, Enoch Brown, and ten students. One other student named Archie McCullough was wounded. Historian Richard Middleton described the massacre as "one of the most notorious incidents" of Pontiac's War.
