Portrait of Kahkewaquonaby, Peter Jones (1832) [OHQ-PICTURES-S-R-967]

Peter Jones (1802-56), known in Ojibwa as Kahkewaquonaby, son of surveyor Augustus Jones and Tuhbenahneequay, was ordained a Methodist minister in 1833. “In his lifetime Peter Jones accomplished much for his people. Before his conversion to Methodism, his Mississauga band had appeared to be on the verge of disintegration. However, as a result of his intervention and that of other native and white missionaries, the Credit River people and many other Ojibwa bands in southern Upper Canada successfully adjusted to the European presence.” — from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
