Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Tecumseh" in Simple English language version.
Tecumseh was born in 1768 near a spring "three arrow flights" southeast of the principal town of the Chalahgawtha sept of the Shawnee. This was just one of five towns that would take the name of the sept, all called Chillicothe. We know it as Oldtown now, but the original settlers called it Old Chillicothe. The spring appears to be located very close to Tecumseh Elementary School on Old Springfield Pike, perhaps on the grounds of the Ohio Division of Wildlife District 5 Headquarters and fish hatchery.
Tecumseh was born in what is now western Ohio ... Although there is some debate about the exact location of Tecumseh's birthplace, he was likely born near present-day Xenia in Greene County, Ohio ... as this was one of the areas where his band of Shawnee camped at the time of his birth... Some historians claim that he was born in Chillicothe, while others assert that Tecumseh was actually born along the way to Chillicothe.
