I love Ancestry.com's new feature showing how you are related to someone. Recently, I have found a family connection, not close but a connection - Relationship to you: 1st great grand uncle of husband of 2nd cousin 2x removed - this made it so that at least I could research him and his family.
In my opinion, all the chiefs married within leadership families whether they were Sisseton, Yankton, Teton, Wahpeton, etc. And, since it forbidden to marry in ones own, our people chose other bands or divisions to marry into. It propagated genes/DNA for leadership and connected families/bands. Just as most French traders involved in the higher positions of fur trading companies did not choose Indian wives of lower community stature, but chose daughters of chiefs to propagate their interests.
I am now looking for Red Cloud genealogy. This is what I have thus far:
1. Chief Lone Man, b.1800, d. abt 1868, m. Walks as She Thinks, b. abt 1805;
2. Red Cloud b. abt 1822, d. 10 Dec 1909. He married Pretty Owl, b. abt 1825
3. Louise Red Cloud, b. 1854, d. ?, married Peter Richard, b. 1854
children:
4. Baptiste Richards b. 1880 –
4. Joseph Richards 1882 –
4. Susanna Richard 1885 –
4. Elizabeth Richards 1888 –
She later marries Long Soldier
3. Jack Red Cloud, b. abt 1858, d.?, married Nancy "Good Cloud" Red Cloud, b. 1859;
4. Lucy Red Cloud, 1881 –
4. Naca Win 1883 –
4. Big Cat 1888 –
4. Charles Red Cloud 1889 –
4. Leader 1891 –
4. James Red Cloud 1892 –
4. Jello Her Name Oglaka 1894 –
4. Alfred Red Cloud 1896 –
4. Joseph Red Cloud 1898 –
4. John Red Cloud 1901 –
3. Lucy Red Cloud, b. 1862
3. Comes Back, b. 1865, married uknown,
4. Killed At Home, b. 1876
3. Mary Red Cloud, b. abt 1866
This constitutes one days research. Should anyone out there have more info, please do share.
Thank you.
