Chief Bald Eagle: Lenni Lenape Tribe in Pa

by Joseph Eric Hoffman

Apr 24, 2010

I am looking for all or any info on the chief from Pa who lived in Milesburg named The Eagles Nest just off of the Susquhanna River. The part of tribe that he was a part of was the Munsee tribe part of the Wolf Tribe.  The chief was also know as the Munsee Chief.  I am willing to give out any info that I get to anyone who wants it.

Thanks,

Eric

    Thank you for the info on that story of him. I had part of that story but not all of it. Thank you Darlina, Do you know anything more on him? Does anyone have info on a Mordecai Wolford or a Mary Wolford in Pa around 1774 Mary was 14 or 16 years old. Any info would be great.

      I have found a break through to Chief Bald Eagle.   I have info to believe that Chief Bald Eagle is related to ether William Young born 1826 in Pa and Died Feb 16 1908 in Centre County Pa.  His wife was Dadiema Ann Watkins born 1826 and died 1881.  I believe that both of these people are of Indian decendentants but not sure to which person is the son or daughter of the chief.   If you have info on eather People please let me know I have tons of storys to go with Chief Bald Eagle from the familys notes.

        Alright, I foung out some info about what I am looking for. My grandmothers maiden name is Yufer and her mothers is Overly. I do not know that anyone else is familiar with the name Overly, but she swears that it is a name descended from Bald Eagle. There is only one Bald eagle right? If so, then Im not sure where all these other names listed are coming from, but somehow she goes back to a Chief Bald Eagle. ( from the pennsylvania area)
