Mekinges Elizabeth Conner (1785 – ca. 1861) was a Lenape woman. Little is known about Mekinges Conner considering her role in the history of Hamilton County, Indiana. Many articles have been written about her husband William Conner, a pioneer in the banks of the White River who worked side by side with the Lenape, establishing a trading post and fur trade. None of his prosperous business would have been possible without the help of Mekinges and her high status among the Lenape. As she was the daughter of an important Indian Chief, she had the influence to favor her white husband's business affairs.
