Iron Elk

In all this searching did anyone happen to find any information on Ellen Wastemaniwin Iron Elk? I believe she had a daughter named Jane Sky?

Thanks

With Ellen's second husband I have her down as having Jane Zilkadausawing and a Fannie. She may have had more children but this is all I have.

Henry Cloud Age 58
wife-Catherine Cloud Age 52
Maksan Cloud-son age 18
Kate Bluestone, age 74*
*This census does not list how she is related to either the Wells families or the Cloud family.
got any ideas?
Well that is what I dug up last night. There are quite a few Bluestones listed at Ancestry.
I also found Solon Taopi with his wife Lucy, Henry St. Clair, some Otherdays, one or two of the Crooks, and an Ironshield, all in Minnesota.

Dawn: thank you for the copies of the Iron Elk's Heirship papers. The data will really help me in my search.

[hermin1]

Dawn and Sara: I need to know if I am on the right track with the above data?
Is it possible that Tucankaduta could have changed his name to John Bluestone?

[dawn]

Wow, you really come up with a lot of information on the Bluestones. I will have to dig through it. You sure could be on the right track with John Bluestone.

Dawn

Sara and Dawn: I believe the Wells are related by Marriage to one of the Goodthunders, and one of the Coursolls:
the 1930 Census for Paxton, Redwood,Minn. lists:
Sam Wells,age 73,Widower, married at age 22,he and parents born in Minn.;
Sarah Goodthunder,step-daughter, age 28,Widow,she and parents born Minn.; willie Goodthunder, Great Step-son age9, Emma Goodfeather,Great Step-daughter, age 5,
Jeannie,Grat Step-daughter, age5, Iola Great Step-daughter age2 4/12; Anna Coursoll-Step Daughter age 26, Married at age 18,Isac Step-son in law ,age 33; Raymond Coursoll,grt. step son age 7.all of the ones listed were born in Minn,. as were their parents.

I also made an error. there is a Helen Bluestone, and an Elen bluestone.they arte not the same person. Helen was born @ 1869 in South Dakota. Elen was born @ Jan 1861,in Nebraska as were her parents. Elen is the wife of Harry Bluestone(born @ 1865)in Minnesota.

I wonder if that Kate bluestone who was listed with that St. Cloud family, was a sister, or an aunt to John Bluestone.

[dawn]

Sara, I think I may have read your post on Huntkaduta wrong. When you list the wifes and Ellen is listed was she first married to his father and then his brother Iron Elk?

Does it list with of his wifes was the mother to which child?

Does the chart list any information on Huntkaduta's wife Susan's family?

Thanks

Dawn

[sara]

Hi Dawn,
There is no info on Susans family. It's a very vage tree, with many mistakes.
I sent you a message this morning.

Dawn and Sara: The Minnesota Historical society may have a copy of that newspaper that published the Obit for Harry Bluestone. it would be worth it, I think to get a copy of the Obituary. alternative is to find out which county, New Ulm is in, and see if they ha county has a hgenealogical society that would have back issues of that paper.

[hermin1]

Sara: Would you have any Santee censuses prior to the 1884 Santee census ?If so it would be worth it to see if any of the people on those heirship papers are listed.

[sara]

Yes,
I do, I have 1869, 1872, 1874, 1875,1877, 1879, 1880, and I think partial's of 1881 and 1882.
I will take a look.
Sara

[hermin1]

thanks Sara. I appreciate it very much.

[scararm]

Hi Sara
Could you look on the 1872-santee census for a josephine born to a white black bird and tasinatopawin or tasinahotewin . And tasinatopawin married George paypay at E Bazille nebaska in 1875 see if they have a josephine in there house hold. This couple also adopted a james C. Paypay. I found the 1875 census and George is listed with 1m and 1f in his house hold no children. I need to find a census that list any other people In Georges Paypays house hold.

[linda]

:-/Is the Oliver Moore listed as Anpetuckeyewin Sarah Moore Fraziers father?
Is Grace Moore his wife and where they missionaries or is this a different Oliver Moore?
Thanks Linda

[sara]

Sorry. I do not have 1872, I have 1869 and then it jumps to 1875.
