From all accounts "ALL" the Indians did not go west... yes,
they were
"paid" for their land, and the majority were "marched"
to Oklahoma.... but
there are many references to Indians in the area(Norther Indiana and
Southern Michigan) after 1838. Not that proves the story one way or the
other... but it is possible....

Hello,
It was just brought to my attention that I forgot to mention another part
of the
story. Last year a researcher brought the above to my attention the
same thing that another kind soul just did. The story about the indian's
came from one relative and another more plausible one came from another
member of the family. Alfred had gone to one of those wrestling matches
where these traveling matches came to town. You know the ones where they
take bets and ask for any takers. Well anyway he was suppose to have died
in one of these matches. So really we have no proof as to how he died.
Thanks
Nora
