  • Gelelemend (* 1737; † 1811), auch John Kilbuck jr., William Henry oder einfach Killbuck genannt, war ein Häuptling der Munsee, einem Stamm der Lenni Lenape, und Angehöriger des Turtle- (Schildkröten-) oder Turkey-Klans (Truthahn-Klan). Hier sind sich die Historiker nicht einig. Sein indianischer Name war Gelelemend, der Führer bedeutet, während Killbuck offenbar der Spitzname war. Die Lenape nannten nur ungern ihren richtigen Namen und der Gebrauch von Spitznamen war sehr verbreitet. William Henry war sein christlicher Name, den er nach seiner Taufe vom Herrnhuter Missionar David Zeisberger erhielt. (de)
