Hello,
I will try to explain this with out confussing anyone.. First My information that i have
came from my Gr Grandmother, My Grandfather, and his sisters. (They all have told me the
same story) My grandmother is Anna Isabell Robbins Miracle she married James Jim Maricle
(The spellings is correct on the last names) Annas mother's name is Mary Hurst also
known as Mourning Sun. Mourning Sun was a nickname that was given to her from her
grandmother Mourning Dove. Mourning Dove is a full Indian. My family believed that she was
Blackfoot. They also told me that Mourning Dove ran away from the tribe to be with Solomon
Baker. The Indians then disowned her for being with a white man. Mourning Dove didn't
speak much about her family, she was not allowed. But she did tell some things to her
children. It was orders from the tribe. Mourning Doves mothers name was Red Wing. I have
no other information to Red Wing. This information came from family members that were 100%
sure this was true. In!
fact she told children to pass down the stories to their children and so on. I do know
that my grandfather did look a lot like Indian as he got older in age. So did my gr
grandmother. In fact the 4 oldest children do lok like they have Indian blood.. I was also
told that Red Wing is the one that had problems with the tribe when she left. I believe
they said she got pregnat by a white man. They made her leave. I believed she was pregnant
with Mouring Dove.

way James did) Anna is also buried next to her parents. They had 13 children

will help anyone out with information.. Being as my family told the story. But i believe
the family story. So far i have had no proof to prove any of them worng..If you have any
added info please let me know...
Thanks,
Becky
