Traversie and War Eagle are families that I have interested in. I am not a relative but do know some pretty incredible descendants, so if you dont mind, I might join you in your search.

Gee that woulld be great Tammy sometimes I am overwhelmed with my own search and really need to look away. My cousins are all the Rouse's and I think they are such beautiful people I love them and want to help any way I can. Going to Pierre and try and find Felice DeCant in Dewey Co. Thanks so much. Auntie will be glad to hear it. Plus I tell them all how at first I was hesitant on my own research to ask things but what great help the sight has been to me and mine since I started. You are all good people and Its been a pleasure seeing so much good occur right before my very eye. Thanks Again Connie

The information on the Traversies is posted elsewhere on our website, i think in this section . Look for a post started by Wazi..
I can't find anythin gaon a Grace Atonna or Grace Atana. but The Atanas I saw at Ancestry.com all come from either Tripp County, or charles Mix County,SD.there is where you should look for information on her if there is any.

Hi, I am looking for proof that Felicit Decant Dusant is the daughter of Chief Huya-na (Little Eagle) WarEagle. According to the "Desendants of Little-Crow" file my cousin sent me Felicit married Augustus Traversie and is the mother of Paul Traversie who married Mary Bruguier. Can you help me to trace her as War Eagle's daughter? I have read on Ancestry.com that Felicit was the daughter of War Eagle but was disowned after running away from Theophile Bruguier, whom she and several other of her sisters had been given to by War Eagle. It also states that it is a good possibility that her father was Capt. DuCant. Any help would be appreciated.
Grandma

First: Felicite is a Picotte and her father was Honore Picotte. She carried the name of her step-father; however, his name has been corrupted over the years, so no one knows for sure if it is DuCant, DuSant, Descant (three men living in the area at that time). One writer added Dutant. Felicite received land along with her brother (Charles) due to his effort in getting the Yankton members to sign the 1858 treaty.
Second: The story about the run-away bride who was the daughter of War Eagle goes to Elizabeth Iron Shaker. The romance with Augustus Traversie was very short lived and they moved on to other people, but the story took on a life of its own.
Hope this will help you in some way.

How many Felicette are there in the Traversie family tree? I'm a tad confused.
I have Fillicitte DuSant aka DeCant etc, then I have a Filicitta DeCant, a Filicit Traversie and also a Felecia "Sissy" Traversie!!!!
Do you know who Felecia "Sissy" Traversie's parents were? I would greatly appreciate any help in setting my info straight.
I am also confused in regards to Felicite being a Picotte
If Joseph Rivers, (son of Joseph (senior) and Azeline Picotte ) married Felict Traversie daughter o f Augustus Traversie and Felicitta DeCant (duSant aka DuCant etc),
how could Felicite be a Picotte?
Regards,
Sonda

Justiceforall  It would help if you would provide a documentary reference for Felicit (Felicitia DeCant)DuSant 's maiden name being Picotte. I have checked the LDs Archives, and Ancestry.com, and they have no record of her being a sibling of the Picotte brothers. Felicit did receive some land along the Missouri River for her part as Translator in the negotiations for the Yanktomn sioux Treaty of 1858. |

I am hoping justiceforalll will provide the needed documentation for the name Picotte |

"Blue Blanket Woman", &/or "Scar Arm". Are possibly not the same person.
It's possible, however, that Blue Blanket Woman, & Scar Arm shared the same first French name Felice/Felicite/Felicia, etc....
There is a family history document of Josephine Medicine Man, & her husband Narcisse Traversie. It is more of a marriage record.
This document states the mother of Narcisse Traversie as Felicia Traversie. I don't know if there's any relation to Felicite DuSant.
The parents of Josephine Medicine Man are listed as White Blackbird being her father, & Her Four Cornered Blanket as her mother.
Marriage.

Thank you, Hermin1 and SAV,
Yes, Narcisse Traversie was the son of Filicette DuSant aka DuCant/DeCant.
his father was Augustus (Langlois) dit Traversie
Narcisse was the brother of Paul Traversie who married Mary Bruguier (daughter of Theophile Bruguier and Blazing Cloud (daughter of War Eagle)
Narcisse and Paul had a sister named Feicia Marie Traversie (I assume she was named for her mother but not positive). she married Joseph Ascard (Rivet) Rivers.
OK.
Now, here is where it gets a tad weird for me...
Paul Traversie and Mary Bruguier had a son named Whitley Joseph Traversie. His second wife was Felicia "Sissey" Traversie. (Traversie was her maiden name as well as her married name).
I found one document that said her mother's name was Mary R. Traversie (Could this Paul Traversie's and Mary Bruguier's daughter Mary ? If so, this would mean that Whitley married his niece)
But, then this document shows a W. Traversie and an F. Traversie as being "Sissey's" parents.
So, now I am truely stumped!!!
Someone out there has to know the truth (even if it is stranger than fiction).
We would greatly appreciate anything to help us piece this one part of our puzzle.
Oh, by the way, Whitley is our grandfather and Felicia "Sissey" Traversie is our grandmother. Could she also be our grand Auntie, Cousin, sister???

I 'm back from my hunt for the solution to the mystery of "Who were Felicia "Sissy" Traversie's parents. felicia's father was Barney aka Joseph Barney Traversie, , who was the brother of Paul Traversie. Both were the sons of augustus (langlois) Traversie and Felicit (Felicitia DeCant) DuSant. Felicia's mother was Henrietta fielder, born @ 1864 in Woodbury County, IA. Felicia "Sissy" Traversie-Traversie was also married to Harry A. Kingman. I do not know the wedding date,however. Reference: LDS Archives. www.familysearch.comsonda: as far as how the couple would be related to you, I would have to sy that indeed they are your grandparents To your grandparents, Barney would be Whitley Joseph's Uncle, Paul would be Felicia "sissy"s Uncle. To you , asdescendents, Augustus and Felicit(Felicitia DeCant) DuSant- Traversie would be your great great grandpents, and both Barney and Paul with their spouses would be your great grandparents. |

Hello: our family is decended from the elusive Ginny Traversie Laplant line... Maybe I can shed some light on some of this.. maybe not. LOL I do believe that Augustus Traversie either married or had children by (2) two women named Felicit. I have found Virginia (Ginny/Jenny) living with a mother named Felicit AFTER the death of Felicit #1. She is living with 2 of the brothers listed in most family group sheets....the youngest brothers. I am trying to find out "for sure" if Virginia's mother was indeed Blue Blanket Woman...and who Blue Blanket Womans parents were - if possible... I am willing to share any information that I have..
