Looking for relatives, and more genealogy info on my grandmother. Adopted by Mackey. She was Demars (or alternative spellings I guess). Sarah. Ed. They're all in our tree. And on Santee rolls.

On Ancestry Matilda Mackey appears in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 U.S. Census. Parents are shown as Edward Mackey (born in Minnesota) and Matilda Mackey (born in Germany). In the 1930 Census she and her husband (John Dufour) are living with her parents in Mendota. She and John have 2 children, Shirley (age 1.5) and Robert (6 mos). Matilda Mackey appears on the Indian Census Rolls from 1910 until 1937 with the exception of 1916, 1932, 1933 and 1936. Always appears as Santee but for two years is registered at Yankton rather than Nebraska.
There is a family tree posted on Ancestry. It shows Matilda lived from 1910-2001 and lists her father as Edward Demars Mackey born 1871. Edward's father is listed as Henry Demars (no further information) and his mother is listed as Sarah Redwing (1854-1933)
Hope that helps.

mcintosh: Edward was the son of Henry Demarce/Dumarce and Sarah Robinson(dau. of Thomas Robinson and Mary Jane Wakute aka Wagiwin). apparently he andoneof his siblings also took the surname Mackey when their mother married Mr. Mackey.
the father, Henrylater married a Devils Lake Sioux woman also and had at least a child with her.
Update: this was henry Demers/Demars not dumarce. Please see below.

I'm confused - So this must be a different Demarce/Dumarce family than the Francois Demarce/Tatewinorca family. To be the father of Edward, Henry would probably have to be Francois' son and I don't remember any Henrys in the family - unless Francois had a son named Henry prior to having a family with Tatewinorca. Does anyone know Henry Dumarce's parentage?

No,no, this is the same Dumarce family. Henry was one of John Baptiste Dumarce's sons by Julia LeBlanc-Max,one of his three wives.(update: But he may not have been the one who wed Sarah Robinson)
Ref. Notes from Heirship Report on John Baptiste DuMarce.

Mary Jane Wakute
Spouse: Robinson
Children
Daughter: Sarah Jane Redwing Robinson b. 1854
Henry Demer

Thomas and Sarah Mackey are buried side-by-side in the Le'Qui Court Cemetery in Niobrara. On her headstone, her name is misspelled as Saraha. This is also the way it was spelled on hear death certificate, but not on her probate.
Sarah married to her first husband, Henry Demers, a Frenchman, in Wabasha.
Then I believe when she left him,she went to see her dad in Lincoln County, MN, where she met a farmer named Thomas Mackey, a white man, who lived near Flandreau and married him.

earth7w: theCorrection: I meant to write your) information is correct. Henry Dumarce was a mixed blood, as was his father, so he may not have been the one who married Sarah robinson in 1870,Wabasha,MN.although he did have liaisons with several women, marrying only one of them legally. and coincidently, He and his last spouse(common law marriage) had a daughter Mathilda.
which prompts the question, are you sure you have the right Matilda Demers/Dumarce/Demarce?
I am so sorry for the goof. I found a Henry Demers, s/o Jean Baptiste Demers/Demars and Philomene Barre, born @ 1877. This Henry Demers/Demars was still living in Minnesota,Hennepin county in the 1920 US Census.His father, several siblings and grandparents are listed in the 1850 Minn. terr. Census.
correction: You forgot Edward's brother paul or Napoleon Demers.(re. Mr. Brill's Redwing Family Tree).
it would be helpful if you could get a copy of sarah and Henry's marriage license. it may help clear up confusion.

Matilda was never a Demers, she was born a Mackey because her Father went by his step Father's name. Now are Napoleon and Paul from Sarah? |

Napoleon was Paul's other name.
You mentioned Sarah's probate. It should tell you who were her children, including paul or Napoleon, and by which father.I do not have her probate.
My contact with the Demars Family, says there is Sarah's marriage to A.Henry Demers(demars) in Wabasha Cty. MN in August,1870.
There is also a record of Sarah Demars having a son, Henry in Wabasha,MN on 2/4/1876.
There is also a record of A. Henry Demars and Selestia Robinson having a child on 3/24/1872 ,Wabasha Cty,MN.

the Redwing Chart by mr. Brill notes that Mary Jane Wakute and Tom robinson had at least 3 daughters: Mary Louise, Sarah, and Selestia(Celestia).
Celestia shows up in Santee having a son with Thomas Mackey. the son died quite young. She and thomas also were wed at Santee before 1884.(Ref. Santee Agency Register, Book 1).

I haven't read these posts since 2011 and only now see the post by hermin1. I don't know if hermin1 is still around, but I should say I do not have a copy of Sarah Mackey's probate papers, nor have I tried to get them. I intend to though. Again, I am sorry for my absence and non-reply to the above post.
