I dont have my papers in front of me to remember nancy and williams marriage. now when asked (my grandmother Esther lancaster) she was told that her grandmother said we were Missouri Indians, And they were (Griffith) were all from Illinois. thank you.

Not genealogy but for those who like the social cultural aspects of your ancestors and relatives.  Never thought much of Indians and Christmas, but I love Christmas music and have about 75 CDs dealing with Christmas music. Anyway I ran across two different Native American Christmas music CDs which might be of interest. 1st: AMERICAN INDIAN CHRISTMAS by Jana which consists of traditional Christmas songs sung in various native languages such as Navajo, Lakota, Lumbee and Ojibwe.  The second is titled RED CHRISTMAS: A ROUND DANCE CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION by Warscout, these 15 are Plains Cree round dances sung in English or Cree using many Christmas song but to a round dance beat.  Does anyone else know of other Indian Christmas CDs?

I have a CD titled Redheart Sacred Season Produced by Vince Redhouse & Abraham Marcor for The SOAR Corporation. www.soundofamerica.com  I bought the CD from Vince at a Kateri Tekekwitha Conference a few years ago.  It has 12 traditional Christmas Carols on it.  Vince is a very accomplished Native Flute player and teacher.

I have "OFFICIALLY" put a Barkhamsted Lighthouse Native American Village book together - It is called James Chagum of the Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village - it is 267 pages long - 36 MB in size and MY OFFICIAL 1st book to publish! You all can view it here - what I do with it from here I am uncertain - I have put a lot of long hours into creating this for everyone - the story is beautiful and I have to honor to have James & Molly's blood running thru my veins~ Very proud of this - know there is still mistakes - didn't catch them all but it is ok - many of you are quick to let me know hehe~ Let me know what you think - This book of course can't be copied or downloaded - it is free to view however~ Coni Dubois

Native American ancestors are surprisingly difficult to find! I need information on John Soloman [Salmon] Kimbrough b.  BET 1685 & Dec 21 1701 of Chief Cornstalk & Chief Powhatan Indians/St. Peter`s Parish, New Kent, Virginia d.  1720 Rappahannock, Louisa, Virginia & daughter Hello Morning Kimborough. His wife is Supposed to be Cherokee. Elizabeth [Saleda?] Spiller b.  1668 Surry, Surry, Virginia d.  1780? 1730? [62] or [112]? England [Morning or Mary Ann has a daughter named Mourning. Morning was said by 1 person to be half sister of Nancy Ward.  Elizabeth's mother may be Five Knives, U. D. b. 1678 d. 1741 m. Justice William G. Spiller d. 1774. 

Wendi; I'm very interested in the Huskey line. My great grandfather was James Franklin Huskey. His parents were J. N. Huskey & Sarah Fisher. [unless it's wrong on his birth certificate; then it's likely Sarah Foster] I can't help thinking they go back to the State of Franklin, where the Ogles are found. There is a three year wait for tribal enrollment since Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller had blood quantum requirement removed (Oklahoma). Eastern Cherokee blood quantum is reduced from 1/8 to 1/16. Both tribes allow collateral enrollment--proof of descendancy from (greats) aunt or uncle.

Wyandotte Presentations

            MONROE, Michigan.— Superintendent Scott J. Bentley announced today that River Raisin National Battlefield Park will host  David Culver and Deryl Wright, members of the Wyandotte Nation Cultural Committee, on Sunday October 25, 2015 from 6-8 pm at the Battlefield Visitor Center.

Mr. Culver will present “Wyandotte History in My Family”, and Mr. Wright will present Wyandotte Knives and Knife making.

River Raisin National Battlefield Park preserves, commemorates, and interprets the January 1813 battles of the War of 1812 and their aftermath in Monroe and Wayne counties in Southeast Michigan.    The Battles of the River Raisin resulted in the greatest victory for Tecumseh’s Confederation and the greatest defeat for the United States during the War of 1812.    Although American forces were victorious in the first battle, the second ended in what was described as a “national calamity” by then General William Henry Harrison, and later President of the United States.  The battle cry, "Remember the Raisin!" inspired a massive U.S. victory at the Battle of the Thames, which sealed the War of 1812 in the western theater for the U.S., claimed the life of the great Shawnee leader, Tecumseh, and resulted in the end of the American Indian Confederation.  The aftermath of the Battles resulted in the implementation of Indian removal from the Northwest Territory at the conclusion of the War of 1812, an aftermath that continues to influence the United States today.   For more in-depth information about the Battlefield please visit www.nps.gov/rira/ orwww.battlefieldfoundation.com
