support a plaque?
No I don't think so, "Bad thrusts" are enemies so it most have been in a fight.
Why did the historian use the phrase
“lift themselves up, sit far away?
I think that is the same as "put your self together" the needed a break.
What could have happen?
The got a new Judge, cut be both Lenape and Indian.
I saw a Native American painting by a man who fought at Little Bighorn against General Custer’s men. He painted a lot of US cavalrymen floating up into the sky, meaning, their spirits were being lifted up after they died. The term “lift themselves up, sit far away” might refer to something similar occurring at Kensington.
