Linda,
The list of names for 1800 Cayuga, Oneida & Ontario Counties is the Federal Census. There are far more of most of these names than indicated……
i.e.,
Harris (x6) – actually 10, with 6 in Scipio Twp however.
Allen (x6) – actually 16, with 6 in Scipio Twp.
I checked a large number of the names for each of the counties and all were listed white.

I am trying to make sense of the citation about the Hustons and Montours and ran across a couple of web sites that might be interesting to some. The first one: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lt0168/maps/Patent/warrant.htm is a list of Allegheny warantees and patentees. Anyone recognize names besides me? Matthew Duncan, I think, is part of my line who is mixed while Joseph Tomlinson’s line might be. The lines meet in my grandparents. BTW, if anyone has Meeks in their lines, I went to school with Meeks who were rumored to be part native. I saw the name earlier in the Riddle posts.
The other url is a series of them : http://www.interment.net/can/on/brant/ . If you click around, you will find cemetery listings of Cayuga in Canada. A few familiar names.

Bill, there are two sidelines that intrigue me that may demonstrate community. Could you do a lookup on the Payne and Jennings brides?
Sarah Marie Payne, married 28 Jun 1855 in Parkersburg, Richland, Illinois, b. 2 Sep 1833 in Ohio, (daughter of John Payne and Parthena) d. 23 Nov 1880 in Kickapoo, Vernon, Wisconsin in Kickapoo, Vernon. Wisconsin, occupation homemaker.
Interesting that they married in Richlands, Illinois. Isn’t that where Vance had family? Payne is one of the Siouan names in NC.
Almeda Jennings, married 19 Feb 1888 in Viroqua, Vernon, Wisconsin, b. 15 Oct 1863 in Vernon, Wisconsin. (daughter of Harmon Jennings and Malissa _______) d. 12 Jul 1915 in Vernon, Wisconsin, buried in Viola, Vernon, Wisconsin.
This name is found in Virginia Indian families. All these people were basically in or out of the same household. Thomas Benton Harris, Jr. was raised in Joseph Harris’s house in his later childhood. He and his brother Francis Marion (my gr-grandfather) went to live with them when their mother remarried. I take it the older step-sons were too rough on them.
Also, we can see that while they were in Wabash County, the Harrises had dealings with people in Sullivan, Indiana. That’s where “Billio” married Elizabeth Smith Ulm.
Linda,
No marriage record found.
Harmon Jennings enlisted 21 Sept. 1864 in Viroqua, Wi., as a Private in Company A, 25th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and mustered out on 30 June 1865. His “Widow”, “Melissa C. Jennings” applied for his Civil War Pension (1st in 1887, and again in 1914? – second digit difficult to read). So, her middle initial is “C.”
On the 1880 Vernon Co., Wi., Census, Melissa is 45, b. Ill., with father b. TENN., and mother b. KY.
In 1860 Vernon Co., Wi Census, Harmon and “Malissa” Jennings are living in dwelling # 1270, family # 1156.
Five houses further on, at 1275, 1160 is :
John W. Hunter, 53, m, W, TENN. (note State)
Polly, 53, wife, f, W, KY. (note State)
William, 28, son, m, W, Ill.
Sarah, 19, dau, f, W, Ill.
(couldn’t find any other potential parents with this place of birth combination who had also been in Illinois in about 1835, in this entire township.)
Found them in 1850, 2 counties south of Bad Ax/Vernon Co., and they had a daughter named “Melissa C.”.
On the 1850 Grant Co., Wi., Census, District 24, 25 Sept., p.81B, at 1202, 1218 :
John W. Hunter, 42, m, W, farmer, TENN.
Mary, 42, f, W, KY.
William B., 18, m, W, Ill.
MELISSA C., 16, f, W, Ill.****
Sarah, 9, f, W, Ill.
(Working there is a Peter Burns, 19, w, W, laborer, PA.)
While this isn’t absolute proof that Melissa C. was a “HUNTER”, the odds are nearly astronomical that she IS John and Mary Hunter’s daughter. I think we just got lucky with Melissa.
Linda and all; I don’t know if you’ve seen this or not. It is about Guys, Jeffries, Gibsons and etc. that traveled to Texas and back to N.C. It’s at http://www.ibiblio.org/dig/html/split/report48b.html
Dan.
EXCELLENT. Just Excellent, Dan. Thanks a lot for posting this.
Too bad they had so much trouble in central and norther Indiana.
Hahaha Linda,
I kind of thought we might be related, now I’m almost sure. Running into the exact same names, got to be more than coinciedence!! There are many Lett, Brown, Harris’s, Guys, buried out in the Nowata Indian Territory in Oklahoma. Check out the Harris’s that went to Michigan, I think they may be yours too! The address is
Many Blessings,

Linda,
Have a cousin who married a Bradley here in Ohio, her maiden name was Willamena Ulm, she is about 70 years old. Looking for her dad’s folks. She was not born in Ohio, but has made this her home for 50 years. Definately Indian, not a doubt about that.
Many Blessings,
Tasheaka
Do you know her parents’ names?
Since Willamena was born after the last available census (1930), we’d need her grandparents names and or names of her older siblings born before 1930, to make sure we identified the correct family. If we can get some more info I’d gladly take a shot at it.
Bill
Thanks Bill!
I will see her this weekend, she is a vendor at the flea market, she was born in Tennessee. I’ll check and let you know name of parents, grandparents, etc.
tasheaka
Hey linda yes I have ran into this adoption thing in middle TN records, it is found amonst the Hardin folks ofcourse but many of them were adopted in the 1830’s to toher family heads.
I think that it meant that if the parents were away, missing , serviced into battle or of the way ward type the kids head of the family became legal gaurdian for however long need be.
Also it may be that they were a little darker than others so became placed in a compromised position, so if guardianship existed then they were safe(r)!
The French Indian wars must have been very devasting, and our relatives were in that area most efected, remeber that map that I had mentioned to you with the placements of SAponi people on the creeks etc in that area? well Iam still looking for it and I will find it, but it should open many doors when we place them to a time and census location , for many it will really solidfy thier search.
All the best Tom.
Hi Linda
As far as I know there is no NA on my father’s side. The earliest ancestor of my grandmother ( maiden name Logan, b. 1881 PA )
was her Immigrant ancestor, Joseph Campbell and wife, Mary Harper arrived PA late c. ? 1792.
They had 8 kids. three of their daughters ( including the one I desc from) all married Hazletts. 1.John ( relation?) + (2. another John & 3. Samuel -brothers).
A daughter, Jane Hazlett m. Immigrant b. Ireland 1797 Joseph Harper (I don’t know if he’s related to her grandmother). These people lived in Tioga county , PA. Nelson/Beecher’s Island. Jane was the mother of Catherine Harper b. 1839 PA. m. Baxter Logan- my grandmother’s parents.
I did see a Nancy Hazlett in 1700’s who m. Shawnee/Blackfoot. Maybe a distant cousin of the Hazletts. Their father lived in New York , ? land agent/ then East Stroudsburg, PA ( once called the Dansbury District ) before moving to Tioga County, PA.
Hi ! Linda,
On Harris/Harriss line, I found http://www.goldenlyon.com/riggin.html
( Benton/ Cleg /Turpin/ Randall/ West/ Lee /Wright/Covington/Turpin – many names.)
Teague Riggin m. Hannah Harriss widow John Harriss/brother, Benton Harriss .
Somerset County
Annemessex tax lists, etc. Mentions Manokin Parish 1670 and Nantioke Tribe.
——————————————————————————
Also, a Richard Parker b.1759 Southampton, VA died Rowan NC m. Mary Harris and Miss Lentz . He is listed on the DAR Yadkin Chapter.
He might be the Richard Parker on Descendents of Charles Barham.
(Elizabeth Barham b. 1737-1769 m. Drury Parker b. 1723 Surry, VA .)

I think my Edward Parker is the son of a Richard Parker. There is a long line of Richard Parkers.
A cousin, Armand T. Daniel said his grandfather was a Robert. I haven’t found his father , yet.
