As most of you know, I have been searching for Martha Stone(Hapstin) for almost one year now. While I have found many pieces of information, thanks to many of you, I am still searching for three basic pieces of information. They are:
1. Does anyone know who Marthas parents were? Hermin helped me find an unofficial family tree from Rosebud stating that she was the daughter of Wakandhitanka Ben and Marie Cook. However, in looking at Jesse Bens(brother to this Martha) probate, his wife states that at Jesses death in 1914, he still had two sisters that were still alive, Martha (Maka) and Julia Frenier. OUR Martha died in 1889. Also Alice MInnetonkas probate states that her niece Martha (Maka), daughter of Wakandhitanka Ben was 54 when Alice died which meant that THIS MArtha would have been born in the 1850's or so, not the 1822 that we know that our Martha was born. Our Martha received her Stone name by marriage.
2. Does anyone have any information on a Wasuhdega, English last name of Stone that would have died in the area of 1856 in MInensota? This was Marthas alleged first husband. They had sons, Charles, John and Duncan.
3. Does anyone have any information on Marthas daughter Louise(born 1864), that she had with David (Owancanduta) Weston, son of Cloudman and Old Eve? She went by Louise Blackstone at birth, then married Joseph Godfrey Jr., then married Jack Sully for a short time after Josephs death in 1923. She was still alive at the time of Jacks death in 1935 or so.
I have come sooo far in this research, but still have so far to go!
Many thanks,
Sunshine
