To Tamara-
Is there a way to write someone directly instead of just posting a message. For example, if I see a message that someone has posted in a certain place, instead of responding in that forum thirty messages later, can I send that person a repsonse to an earlier posting directly? If the Sisseton census discussion had not been placed by you in another location, how could I have written directly to him or her? Maybe there is no way to do this.

also send me an email and I will send it to you. Mr Denney put the links on the board here. under census thread. but easy enough to send it to you with his links. that way you have it without having to access the board, rather just open your email.

I am sorry I have been so busy with other things but I can do a quick search for you and tell you what I see on the names you mention. This will be my first run through file box number 5!! All beautifully organized in bright green folders and in sequence for Sisseton Research materials. (I think I hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back... ouch)

If the Sisseton census discussion had not been placed by you in another location, how could I have written directly to him or her? Maybe there is no way to do this. another way to do that would be to use Quote in the right corner and so it will be clear what you are responding to. I was also going to mention that when people respond inside a persons post in answering their question or asking something by "editing" instead of using the quote feature, I am missing their response because it doesnt show up as something new or a new post. so their response when inserted as and edit, gets left behind as an old post and I miss it. I might be the only one who has trouble with that but its hard to teach an old dog new tricks and I am stuck on the "recent posts" style of staying up to speed. Was this clear or can anyone make sense of what I am saying? lol |

Hi
I am also looking for Quinn. I have Thomas Quinn born abt 1860 married Jennie Cloudman in 1881.In an article in The Word Carrier she was from Brown Earth and Thomas was at Goodwill. Thomas mother is shown as Mrs. Siyowin and according to the story his step-father was Itewakanhdiota(Many Face Lightning?)
He was a prisoner at Davenport so I am thinking Siyowin(Prairie Chicken) was with him after he was released and Thomas real father had died. We were looking at a connection to Peter Quinn the interpreter but can't find any family lists showing his wives(I think there were 2 named Mary and Louise). In the article it mentions Louise but that is all it says.
If you see anything that might be a connection please let me know.
Brown Earth church is still standing near Stockholm SD. The main pastor was Daniel Renville. There is a book abt 100 pages that I just found out about that is supposed to tell a lot of history all about Brown Earth. I am going to get that tomorrow from the Milbank SD museum and hopefully tie up these loose ends.
There are 3 gravestones standing at Brown Earth Mrs Daniel Renville-Barnubus Goodteacher and not sure what the other one is. The man in Stockholm who cares for it says many more graves are visible in the spring but no markers.
Nancy

Where are you getting the story you refer to in the first part of your post? I am very interested in the book you mention and would love to learn more about Brown Earth as well. The name of the "colony" has always intrigued me as I have ancestors named Makagi. Have you checked to see if there is a file in the Woolworth Collection at the Minnesota Historical Society? There might also be sworn statement for the Lake Pepin land sale payment/ 1855-56 Half breed roll, that would tell the make up of the Quinn family and how they descend or who they descend from. I have seen (thanks to another family researcher) the sworn statement of Andrew Robertson showing the age of his wife and how she is the daughter of Mahpiyahotawin, granddaughter of Wabasha, and the ages and names of children. This was done for the above mentioned roll. Also have you checked references in some of the Dakota history books, Through Dakota Eyes, History of the Santee, History of Minnesota volumes 1-4 by Powell, Little Crow Spokesman for the Sioux, etc. I was searching through the 1870 federal census in minnesota and i saw a william quinn.... |

Yes the William L Quinn married to Angelique Jeffries(Gerfres,Jeffery have seen it all these ways) was the son of Peter Quinn from Ireland. He was the interpreter that was killed at Redwoods Ferry with Capt Marsh on Aug 18 1862. He was married to Marie Finley(Findlay) Louise Boucher and/or Ineyahewin who were all full bloods I believe. I was trying to see if Thomas Quinn was William and Anglique's son but according to the story their Thomas died around 1873 and our Thomas was born 1860/1861 and married 1881. The only other possibility I see is if Thomas could have been a son of Peter. There is a census that shows Peter Louise and Thomas and the ages are about right. Maybe???

I cant remember what my grandfather used to tell me about everyone being 5/8 blood.... I would love to look into the true reason as to why so many were considered 5/8 at the same period of time. |

Thanks Tamara for interpretting that. Now it makes sense.
Hey Denny the laposada resort report is in my previous link with the image link. Apparently this is a retirement community in Arizona and the story was written by one of the residents related to George Quinn in their monthly newsletters.
