My great grandmother Adline Flory aka Fleury or Flora lived in Marshall Co.
Tippecanoe in the 1870 Census. She was given a Thunderbolt by the Chief of an
Indian tribe in Tippecanoe. What I am searching for is the name of the Indians
that lived in Tippecanoe in the late 1860's and early 1870's. I was told most
Indians were not living there then...but our family has the Thunderbolt my
great great great grandmother was given.. A Thunderbolt was a horses tail, the
connecting part was wrapped around a rock and used as a weapon to keep the
other Indians away. She was told by the Chief to hang it on the front door of
her home or cabin for safety. Just curious as to what the name of the Indians
were I would love to read more about them.
