Hello, this is my first time here at the forum. It excites me that i’ve found a forum to talk to other about my blood. Because for so long i’ve had no one to talk to. lol
I’m looking for anyone out there with info in Blackfoot ancestry in Ohio with the last names of Turner, Koon, Wolf or Wolfe?? I’ve came to a road block.
The Koon’s come from Md. And the Wolf/Wolfe come from PA. I myself am born and raised in Ohio.
But my great great grandmother Alice Leona Koon/Wolf was born in Horatio, Ohio. She was supposed to be full blooded Blackfoot. I have pictures of her and you can sure tell it.
So does anyone have any idea why there was Blackfoot in Ohio in the mid 1800’s? Or does anyone have any connection to my family?
, thanks
Danny
Welcome, Danny,
The Blackfoot descendants in Ohio are of Eastern Sioux origin, and aren’t the Blackfoot (Algonquin) of Montana.
Many came to Ohio, Ky & Ind from Penn, Va (&WVa), NC and Maryland. There are people who identify themselves as Blackfoot whose ancestors came from all of those states. Pretty scattered after the 1680s.
Use the “search” function and key-in your surnames.
When you find one Indian line, there are usually others as well. What genealogy sources do you have to work with? I’m sure we’ll all help where we can.
Sounds like you have done a little gen-work on your people. If you post some of that info maybe there’s someone here who can help.
I see a Horatio on the Ohio map, N.E. of Greenville in Darke County – is that the one?

Thanks Bill for your replay. Yes you are correct. Horatio is a very VERY small town Darke Country, Ohio. The city has always been really small since it started around 1880.
Ok here is some info on my fmaily.
The indian blood that i am looking for started in my family between 1890 and 1905 when Alice Leona Koon (the Blackfoot Souix) married Goerge turner (from England). Alice Leona Koon “Lonly” is the source inwhich i’ve been looking.
Now she was born in Ohio and her parents Mother, Rebecca Wolf/Wolfe? and Father Isaac Koon. Rebecca is from PA i believe and Isaac is from MY.
There is also a story i’ve read that Leona Turner Koon wrote to her daughter Mary i believe talking about someone in here family going out west with a guide of some sort. I believe he died out there. But his name was Cosetta Idonis Wolf/Wolfe?
I’ve been using Ancestry.com and Accessgenealogy.com. Amonst going seaches on Yahoo.com and Google.com.
On that side of my family everyone is dead exect for my dad : /
Well let me know what you guys think 🙂
