A thank you to both L.A. and Susan for taking the time to respond, it is very helpful.
Here is a bit of what I am trying to find documentation on (whether it proves or
disproves).
I am attempting to find information on some of my husband's line. One of his 3x Great
Grandfathers was Ingham Starkey who was said to be a lawyer on "the Indian
reservation." He married Ruelma (found spelled many ways) Rowe/Row. The family has
a photo of Ruelma that has a bit of her family history on the back. According to the
photo back: --Ruelma was "born among the Wyandott Indians east of Lafayette,
Ind", --her mother "was Chief Joseph Brant's daughter".-her mother was
a Mohawk Indian and from New York --Ruelma's father "was a scout for Mad Anthony
Wayne at fallen timbers east of Fort Wayne, Ind the present city." It is not known
who wrote the information on the back of the photo, it is presumed to perhaps be one of
her daughters.
Thank you again for your time and your ideas, it is most appreciated!
