In the record
Royce’s schedule records 36 cessions that lie at least partly in Ohio, from 1795 to 1842, under 15 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Ottawa, Wyandot, Shawnee, Chippewa (Ojibwe), Potawatomi and 7 more.
The atlas records 3 broken treaty promises here, including Fort Pitt 1778: first U.S.-Indian treaty and the Delaware (Lenape) statehood clause, Fort Stanwix 1784: cession by Haudenosaunee delegates who lacked authority and Greenville 1795 and Fort Wayne 1809: encroachment, then cession under pressure.

Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
