The Munsee were "' people of the stoney country'" .....The northernmost group in traditional Lenape land, and "they occupied the headwaters of the Delaware River where Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York meet including the Catskill Mountains on the west side of the lower Hudson Valley. Four of the Munsee tribes were sometimes known collectively as the Esopus (Espachomy): Catskill, Mamekoting, Waranawonkong, and Wawarsink."⁹

"The Munsee are often shown classified with the Lenape, but some scholars believe that the stark differences in dialect indicates this people should not be considered Delaware. The Munsee 'lived separately from the Delaware nation for most of their existence. ....The United States referred to the Munsees as a separate tribe in the Treaty of Fort Industry. ...The Munsees lived originally in New York and New Jersey, but they moved westward as whites  forced them from the land. By the 1720s, the Munsee Indians had reached western Pennsylvania. There, missionaries from the Moravian Church attained some success in converting the natives to Christianity." The Munsee in  Ohio History Central 

"The Munsee have long been considered a splinter- or sub-group of the Delaware Nation. Both peoples originated in the Delaware and Hudson River Valleys where they had developed similar cultural traits. Due to this common background, the Munsee have not been treated separately in ethnological literature. On occasion the Munsee have been referred to as the most belligerent and conservative of all Delaware bands.'  The Munsee: Migration History and Ethnic Identity by Siegrun Kaiser, M.A, part of the Munsee History Forum pages. 

"In 1600 the Delaware may have numbered as many as 20,000, but several wars and at least 14 separate epidemics reduced their population to around 4,000 by 1700 - the worst drops occurring between 1655 and 1670. Since the Delaware afterwards absorbed peoples from several other Algonquin-speaking tribes, this figure remained fairly constant until 1775. By 1845  it had fallen to combined total of about 2,000 Delaware and Munsee in both the United States and Canada. The 1910 census gave about the same result, but the current Delaware population has recovered to almost 16,000, most of whom live in Oklahoma. Nearly 10,000 Delaware are in eastern Oklahoma and, until very recently, were considered part of the Cherokee Nation. After a long struggle with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), they regained federal recognition in September, 1996 as the Delaware Tribe of Indians with their tribal offices in Bartlesville. The other federally recognized group is the Delaware Tribe of Western Oklahoma. Sometimes called the Absentee Delaware, its 1,000 members are descendants of a  Missouri-Texas splinter group, many of whom reside near of the tribal headquarters at Anadarko."⁹
