Stacey,
Those pix are from The Green Tree, a book I bought from Licking County Historical Society. It is filled with information on Butts, but much of it is on that site also.
Dreaminghawk:
How are you connected with the folks on this link? These are my ancestors; my Regnald Green was supposedly married to a Butt, but regardless of whether or not Regnald did, later ones certainly married one another.

Cindy,
Did you see the Sinkey’s on the Tribal Pages website? George and William Green (both married Sinkey women) are listed on there. However, it shows that both the Sinkey women died and the Green men remarried. Will have to look into that. I know there have been times when I was at Jackson Co. researching that I found many people dying during the same time period from epidemics, etc…but this is great info….I had none for those 2 families.

Sorry, Deb, I have been busy with a presentation, conferency, the pool and Disney. I only looked at a couple of the links and pix.

Cindy……. just about all those surnames passed through the flat river area of NC at some point. That particular picture had twofold meaning. Charles Norris is the name of Becky’s son in law and the mason’s apron is sorta an inside joke with Bill. 😉
I just found an article that I thought some of you might be interested in. Many of the names mentioned in the article are names I have seen on here. I thought the whole article was really interesting but what caught my eye was in the section of the article “The Captivity of Benjamin Gilbert and His Family, 1780″. The Sinkey’s were in this area at that time. In the article is says the names of the Indians, with their respective tribes are as follows: Rowland Monteur, lst captain, John Monteur, second in command, who was also styled captain. These two were Mohawks, descended of a French woman, Catherine Monteur…..Samuel Harris, John Huston and his son, John Huston, Jr. were Cayugas; John Fox os the Delaware nation; the other five were Senecas.”
Under the section “The Indians on Susquehanna” it mentions a Rev. Brainard that visited Shamokin and found 50 houses and 300 persons of 3 different tribes, speaking different languages, consisting of Delawares, Senekas and Tutelas.
It mentions Captain Brant, an Indian Chief and a General McClean.
There’s mention of a Mrs. Boggs, John Logan..Harris’s…and well too many names to list but many seem familiar to Saponitown.

Deb.,
😀 That was some totally awsome info.! Great Job, DEB!;) I sat glued to it, despite my headache! Thank you so much for posting this with the link.:) Love & Light, Lynella.
Deb:
I looked at Catherine Montour after reading that article when I found it online several months ago. I even found myself in a French genealogy of hers, thank heavens I used to teach French. She was married to a Seneca chief whose Indian name is Telenmut (I think this is close.) who sometimes called himself Hudson, Tom, I think. I read somewhere that it is often written as Huston (remember grandfather Andrew Huston was likely from there too along with the Sinkeys, thank you, Bill).
There are unknown children of Catherine’s. Her known one was Andrew Montour, who was a friend to many early frontiersmen, maybe Washington, I can’t remember.
The Montours knew and lived with, I think, for a while, Shikellemy, Logan’s father.
Her grandson was Charles Langlade who fought against whites if I recall correctly, but then moved to Wisconsin where he was listed on the Wisconsin historical site web site, as the first white man there.

I have DeVaults in my mothers line. They are all very dark complected with dark eyes and black hair from the maternal side.. not the paternal DeVaults. Maybe I can have the pic posted here. The oldest one I have is a Mae DeVault. I am not sure what her maiden name is. She was born in the mid 1800s I believe.
If you looked at the link, cr21, you saw De Vaults. They marry into my Green line who also intermarry with the Butts. All originate near Shepherdstown, WVA and then move to Ohio.

Hey Bill,
If you remember, you connected my grandfather’s Carpenter/Tomlinson line to my grandmother’s line through the Huston/Tomlinson/Swearingen line. I was looking at this URL again today, that is the Butt link. It connects them again through the Swearingens.
