From Archæologia Cambrensis, Vol. VII, 6th Series, 1907, pp. 16-17:

"...As Thomas Earl of Arundel died without heirs male surviving, his estates were divided, subject to the aforesaid dower, among his three sisters, or among their children or grandchildren in right of them. These sisters were Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk; Joan, wife of William Beauchamp, Lord Abergavenny; and Margaret, wife of Sir Roland Lenthall, knight, all of whom were still living on the 20th July, 1416. The inheritors of the three portions after the death of the Countess Beatrix [25 October 1447] were (1) John Mowbray, son of Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk; (2) Elizabeth, wife of Sir Edward Neville, and daughter of Richard, Earl of Worcester, who was the son of Joan, Lady Abergavenny; and (3) Edmund, son of Sir Roland and Margaret Lenthall."

-------
From Wikipedia - Maud de Braose, Baroness Wigmore :

Maud de Braose, Baroness Wigmore (1224- 1300/23 March 1301)[1] was a noble heiress and a member of the powerful de Braose family which held many lordships and domains in the Welsh Marches . She was the wife of Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore , a celebrated soldier and Marcher baron. A staunch Royalist during the Second Barons' War , it was she who devised the plan to rescue Prince Edward (the future King Edward I of England ) from the custody of Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester .[2]

Family
Maud was born in Wales in 1224, the second eldest daughter and co-heiress of Marcher lord William de Braose, 10th Baron Abergavenny and Eva Marshal .

Maud had three sisters, Isabella , wife of Prince Dafydd ap Llywelyn ; Eleanor , wife of Humphrey de Bohun; and Eve, wife of William de Cantelou.
Her paternal grandparents were Reginald de Braose, 9th Baron Abergavenny and Grecia de Briwere. Her maternal grandparents were William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke , daughter of Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster .
On 2 May 1230, when Maud was just six years old, her father was hanged by orders of Llewelyn the Great , Prince of Wales for alleged adultery with the latter's wife, Joan, Lady of Wales .

Marriage and children
In 1247[3] Maud married Roger Mortimer of Wigmore. As the eldest son of Ralph de Mortimer and his Welsh wife, Princess Gwladys Ddu , Roger was himself a scion of another important Marcher family, and had succeeded his father in 1246, upon the latter's death. He was created 1st Baron Wigmore on an unknown date. Maud was seven years his senior, and they had been betrothed since childhood. On the occasion of their marriage, the honour of Radnor passed from the de Braose to the Mortimer family.[4] Her marriage portion was some land at Tetbury which she inherited from her grandfather, Reginald de Braose.[5]She also had inherited the Manor of Charlton sometime before her marriage.[6] Roger and Maud's principal residence was the Mortimers' family seat, Wigmore Castle in Herefordshire .

Roger and Maud together had seven children:[7]
Ralph Mortimer (died before 10 August 1274), Sheriff of Shropshire and Staffordshire .
Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Wigmore (1251-17 July 1304), married Margaret de Fiennes , daughter of William II de Fiennes and Blanche de Brienne , by whom he had issue, including Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March .
Isabella Mortimer (died after 1300), married firstly, John Fitzalan, 7th Earl of Arundel , by whom she had issue; she married secondly, Ralph d'Arderne; she married thirdly, Robert de Hastang.[8]
Margaret Mortimer (died September 1297), married Robert de Vere, 6th Earl of Oxford , by whom she had one son.
Roger Mortimer of Chirk (died 3 August 1336 Tower of London ), married Lucy de Wafre, by whom he had one son. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for having participated in the rebellion of Thomas of Lancaster in 1321.
Geoffrey Mortimer (died before 1282), he was unmarried.
William Mortimer (died before June 1297), married as her first husband, Hawise de Muscegros.

Rescue of Prince Edward
Maud was described as beautiful and nimble-witted.[9]During the Second Barons' War , she also proved to be a staunch Royalist. It was Maud herself who devised a plan for the escape of Prince Edward after he had been taken hostage by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester following the Battle of Lewes . On 28 May 1265, when the Prince was held in custody at Hereford Castle , Maud sent a party of horsemen to spirit him away to Wigmore Castle while he was out in the open fields, some distance from the castle, taking exercise by racing horses with his unsuspecting guardians as she had instructed him to do in the messages she had smuggled to him previously. At a signal from one of the horsemen, Edward galloped off to join the party of his liberators, where they escorted him to Wigmore Castle, twenty miles away, where Maud was waiting. She gave the Prince refreshments before sending him on to Ludlow Castle [10]where he met up with the Earl of Gloucester who had defected to the side of the King .
At the Battle of Evesham on 4 August 1265, Maud's husband Roger fought on the side of Prince Edward, and personally killed Simon de Montfort. As a reward, Roger was given de Montfort's severed head and other parts of his anatomy. Roger sent these gruesome trophies home to Wigmore Castle as a gift to Maud.[11]She held a great feast that very night to celebrate the victory. De Montfort's head was raised in the Great Hall, still attached to the point of the lance.[12]

Descendants
In 1300, Maud is recorded as having presented to a vacant benefice in the Stoke Bliss parish church in Herefordshire , its advowson having originally belonged to the Mortimers, but was bequeathed to Limebrook Priory by Roger.[13] Maud died on an unknown date sometime between 1300 and 23 March 1301. She was buried in Wigmore Abbey . Her husband Roger had died on 30 October 1282.

All the monarchs of England from 1413, as well as Mary, Queen of Scots , were directly descended from Maud, as is the current British Royal Family . Queen consorts Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were also notable descendants of Maud de Braose through the latter's daughter Isabella, Countess of Arundel.

"[Boachman's] wife was Polly Rogers, daughter of Henry Rogers and his wife, the daughter of Blackfish, chief of the Shawnees. She probably belonged to the small band of Shawnees which settled on the Meramec, near the leadmines, in Missouri, about the beginning of the last century [early 1800's]. Mrs. Boachman died a few weeks before her husband, at the old Pottawatomie mission, in the spring of 1848 or 1849. They had six children: Annie, the wife of the Rev. N. T. Shaler, who died before her parents; Washington, who died in youth; Alexander, whose allotment comprises the present Auburndale addition to the city of Topeka, supposed to be now a resident of Dowagiac, Mich.; Julia Ann, wife of the late Thomas Nesbit Stinson, born on the Shawnee reserve, Johnson county, March 26, 1834; William, who died near Fort Scott in the early '60's' and Martha, the youngest, the late Mrs. John Read, whose allotment adjoined Mrs. Stinson's, near Tecumseh, Shawnee county, Kansas.

Some Native people, the most famous of whom was Mackinaw Boachman, moved from esteemed positions as traders and trappers to recognized preachers of the Missouri Methodist conference. Accounts of his identity vary somewhat, but evidence suggests that Boachman was born in Mackinaw Island, Michigan, the son of a French fur trader and a Chippewa woman. His diverse ancestry is typical of most American Indian people of the Great Lakes during the early republic. Boachman's mother fled to the Potawatomis when he was a young boy, and he remained with the tribe for the rest of his childhood. He eventually worked as a hunter and trapper with the American Fur Company - a profession that pulled him out of the Great Lakes and into the trans-Mississippi West. Perhaps because of their connections with prominent fur traders, including the Chouteau family, Boachman fell in with the Rogerstown Shawnees. In 1825, he married Henry Rogers's daughter, Polly. Soon thereafter, Boachman converted to Christianity under the guidance of Thomas Johnson. Boachman's daughter, Julia Ann Stinson, later remembered that "after my parents were married my father stopped going with the American Fur Company and interpreted for Mr. Johnson and joined church. After the Pottawatomies cam to Kansas the Methodist church sent him to them as an interpreter because he could speak the language."
The Boachman-Rogers family thus became essential to the survival of the mission and ultimately helped the Methodists to expand their reach to neighboring tribes. The Boachman family lived less than a half-mile from the Shawnee Methodist Mission in present-day Wyandotte County, owned two slaves, and made a decent living through the sale of horses and mules to overland migrants. In 1837, when she was seventeen, Anne Boachman married the Reverend Nathan T. Shaler. According to Methodist missionary J. J. Lutz, Annie "had been brought up at the mission, where she cared for Mrs. Johnson's children." Marriage into the Rogers family led Boachman to positions of authority among both the Shawnees and the Methodists.

[Note: The following excerpt contains an error regarding Polly Rogers' father. Further research, including an account by Mrs. Stinson, Annie's mother, reveals that Boachman's wife was Mary Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Lewis Rogers and his wife Parlie, daughter of Blackfish.]

From Transactions of the Kansas State Historical Society, 1907-1908, Vol. X, edited by George W. Martin (Topeka, 1908), pp. 401-402:

"[Boachman's] wife was Polly [Mary Elizabeth] Rogers, daughter of Henry [Lewis] Rogers and his wife, the daughter of Blackfish, chief of the Shawnees. She probably belonged to the small band of Shawnees which settled on the Meramec, near the leadmines, in Missouri, about the beginning of the last century [early 1800's]. Mrs. Boachman died a few weeks before her husband, at the old Pottawatomie mission, in the spring of 1848 or 1849. They had six children: Annie, the wife of the Rev. N. T. Shaler, who died before her parents; Washington, who died in youth; Alexander, whose allotment comprises the present Auburndale addition to the city of Topeka, supposed to be now a resident of Dowagiac, Mich.; Julia Ann, wife of the late Thomas Nesbit Stinson, born on the Shawnee reserve, Johnson county, March 26, 1834; William, who died near Fort Scott in the early '60's' and Martha, the youngest, the late Mrs. John Read, whose allotment adjoined Mrs. Stinson's, near Tecumseh, Shawnee county, Kansas. Some additional matter relating to Mr. Boachman's family will be found in the Kansas Historical Collections, volume 9, pages 170 and 212."

Birth Notes: Husband - Rev. Mackinac John Beauchemie

Researcher Don Greene sets his birth year at 1770. FindaGrave memorial 159054450 has 1807.


Death Notes: Husband - Rev. Mackinac John Beauchemie

A separate source shows Rev. Beauchemie dying at the Shawnee Methodist Mission. However, since he and his wife spent the last years of their life at the Pottawatomie Methodist Mission, it is more likely that they died there. That location is confirmed by the Kansas Historical Society in an excerpt quoted at FindaGrave.com.

After the Pottawatomies came to Kansas the Methodist church sent him to them as an interpreter because he could speak the language."
The Boachman-Rogers family thus became essential to the survival of the mission and ultimately helped the Methodists to expand their reach to neighboring tribes. The Boachman family lived less than a half-mile from the Shawnee Methodist Mission in present-day Wyandotte County, owned two slaves, and made a decent living through the sale of horses and mules to overland migrants. In 1837, when she was seventeen, Anne Boachman married the Reverend Nathan T. Shaler. According to Methodist missionary J. J. Lutz, Annie "had been brought up at the mission, where she cared for Mrs. Johnson's children." Marriage into the Rogers family led Boachman to positions of authority among both the Shawnees and the Methodists.
Boachman stood apart from the majority of the Christian Indians in the Indian Territory because he was the first to become a preacher and missionary at a time when most Indians occupied less prestigious positions in the church hierarchy. As a license preacher, by 1843 Boachman held the same position as Nathan Scarritt. The Reverend Joab Spencer, a missionary to the Shawnees in the 1850s and 1860s, credited Boachman with "exhort[ing] his Shawnee friends to forsake paganism and become Christians." Boachman's multitribal upbringing made him particularly useful to the Methodists. His linguistic skills allowed him to preach in several Native languages. Before his death in 1848, Boachman worked as a missionary to the Potawatomis, Sacs, Chippewas, and Weas.

Polly Rogers is given in the following source as the wife of Rev. Mackinaw Boachman [see below], who was a daughter of Lewis Rogers Blackfish. Although there has been a mixup of the family history of Lewis Rogers and Henry Rogers, both white adoptees of Chief Black Fish, my research confirms that Mrs. Julia Ann Beauchmie Stinson was the granddaughter of Lewis Rogers & Parlie Blackfish through her mother, Mary Elizabeth Rogers. Rev. Mackinaw Beauchmie, father of Julia Ann Beauchmie Stinson, is mentioned toward the end of the account below, in addition to Mrs. Stinson's cousin Graham Rogers [Jr.], who was most likely the son of Mary Elizabeth's brother, Graham Rogers.

The following story about Lewis "Chinwa" Rogers refers to Blackfish's "only son" as the one who was killed, but since it is a story passed down through a couple of generations, that is most likely an error in the retelling or in Rev. Spencer's reporting.

From Find A Grave memorial # 19252252 - Lewis Chinwa Rogers (1764-1830)

When Lewis Chinwa Rogers was born in 1764 in Virginia, his father, Benjamin, was 16 and his mother, Jane, was 16. He had four sons and four daughters with Parlie Chalakatha. He died in 1830 in Fayette, Missouri, at the age of 66.

Our Rogers family of Larkin Rogers his brother had been told this story for many years down through multiple lines of the family that settled in different places in Texas. With DNA we now know this is our relative. Specifically we match descendants of the [Thomas Nesbit] Stinson line. Lewis Rogers was named in his father's will in 1808. There has been speculation but so far I have seen no proof that when Lewis Rogers was stolen by Chief Blackfish he stole Lewis's brother Henry. There may have been a Henry Rogers stolen by Chief Blackfish but I do not believe it was a brother.

Below is a story told by Lewis [Henry?] Rogers' grand daughter ["Mrs. Stinson"].

CHIEF BLACKFISH AND HIS WHITE CAPTIVE.
BY REV. J. SPENCER.

Late in the eighteenth century Blackfish, a Shawnee chief then living in Kentucky, lost his only son in a fight with the whites. To make up the loss, as far as possible, he ordered two of his braves, according to history, to capture a white boy to take the place of his dead son. We give the story that follows as told by Mrs. Stinson, a granddaughter of the stolen boy, in her own artless way:

"When the boy was brought to the chief, Blackfish showed the boy the arrows and other things that had belonged to his son, the lost Indian boy, and the father told him that these were his. He was to be brought up as a brave chief, as his own little boy [Chinwa] would have been. So my grandfather lived and grew up with the Indians. But he was always called by the name of Lewis Rogers.

"In course of time this Rogers married the chief's daughter, with whom he had been brought up as brother and sister. When the young man proposed to marry the girl, she still thought he was her own brother, and she felt insulted and told her mother of the strange talk of her brother. Her mother sent her to her father, who told her how it was and how the conduct of her brother was all right; that the young man was not her brother, and he advised her to marry him. She said she could not. She loved him as her brother, but could do no more than this. But her father persuaded her that she ought to marry the young man. She said she could not then consent; she must take time to think about it. So after a year she consented, and they were married.


"Rogers had three children by the chief's daughter. Then his brothers came to him from Virginia. They told him that his mother wanted him to return to her; that she was old and wanted to see her lost son before she died. So he went with his brothers to visit his mother. He was received with great rejoicing. A great many guests were invited to a grand celebration. He was treated with the utmost kindness and had given him everything for his enjoyment. They asked him to lay aside his Indian garb and again to take up his home with his kindred. His mother, who treated him with all the endearment of affection, told him that he must never go back to the Indian country. But he continued to wear his Indian garments, and could not be induced to discard them. He told them he was an Indian now; he had become a son of the chief; he was married to the chief's daughter, whom he loved; and he had three little boys, whom he loved with all the affection of human nature. 'Mother, I came just to visit you because I love you, and have not lost my affection for my brothers. But I have come just on a visit. My wife and children, whom I love more than all else; are still in the forest awaiting my return. I love my wife. We grew up together in the grand old forests. I love my three little boys. If you have invited me here to induce me to remain and live with you, I cannot do as you wish. I must return to my wife and children.'

"He arose early the next morning and called his servants to prepare his horse for a journey. The slave said: 'Massa Lewis, yo' ain' a-going away. Yo' is a-going stay heah.' Father Rogers was a wealthy slaveholder in Virginia, not long come from the mother country, England.

(Page 48)
"Lewis had been three months with his mother. His Indian wife's people told her that her husband would never come back, 'O no,' she said, 'he will come.' So one evening she heard his whoop. She called her children and said: 'I believe I hear your father. ' And then another whoop was heard, and he appeared in sight riding swiftly into the settlement. It had taken him three days to come from Virginia on horseback. Then the mother and children rushed to greet him. He jumped from his horse and embraced his wife and children, exclaiming: 'O Parlie, I will never leave you again!'

"Lewis Rogers, Jr., died in Fayette, Howard County, Mo. One of his sons, Henry Lewis, was educated in Kentucky. He brought about the establishment of the Methodist Mission, of which Thomas Johnson became the superintendent. He loaned Thomas Johnson $4, 000 to go on with the mission. The Rogerses of the Shawnee tribe were sons or descendants of Henry Rogers.

"My mother was a Rogers; Betsy Rogers was her name. She married Mackinac Beauchmie. He was born at Mackinac Strait. He belonged to the American Fur Company. In trapping and hunting among the Indians he traveled down the Ohio River. There he found my mother among the Shawnees and married her. He then continued to live with the Shawnees but he was for several years with the trappers in the Missouri River country toward the mountains. Then he came back and joined the Shawnees in Kansas, about the time they came to Kansas, about 1832. He then joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and never went back to the Fur Company. He learned to speak good English with the Fur Company, and he became the interpreter for Rev. Thomas Johnson at the mission. He became very useful to Mr. Johnson. At one time he traveled with him on one of his journeys to procure money to build up and maintain the mission. After the Shawnee Mission had become established, Mr. Johnson had my father go among the Pottawattomies to start the mission. He preached to the Pottawattomies and did missionary work among them. The mission was close to Ossawatomie, down on the Marias de Cygne, or on the Pottawattomi Creek. My father [Rev. Beauchmie] died at the mission about 1846 or 1847.

"I was at Fayette, Mo., at the time going to school. I went down on the steamboat on the river at the time some soldiers were going to the Mexican War. They went around by St. Louis and New Orleans."

Henry Rogers, as stated above, was a most excellent man, and, as Mrs. Stinson states, a warm and true friend of the Shawnee Methodist Mission. Her father [Rev. Beauchmie] became a very useful preacher, and was a member of the Indian Mission Conference when he died and an ordained deacon.

Of him Bishop Andrew, in a letter written in 1848 while on a tour among the Indian missions of Kansas, says: "During the past year one who was probably the greatest and best of the Pottawattomies was summoned from earth, Rev. Mackinaw Beauchmie, a man of rare gifts and address and constant piety."

While a missionary to the Shawnees, I heard Brother Johnson tell of his trip East with Beauchmie and how greatly the people were interested in his addresses everywhere they went.
Graham Rogers, a cousin of Mrs. Stinson [and namesake of a son of Henry Rogers & Chelatha Blackfish], was one of my stewards, a most exemplary Christian and in every way a worthy man.

Birth Notes: Wife - Mary Elizabeth Rogers

She may have been born in Virginia. She may have been born in 1798 in Mackinac, Michigan, though that seems like a mixup with her husband's birthplace. FindAGrave memorial 159058967 has her born in 1787 in Kentucky.

From an email dated 9 May 2020, summarizing information provided by Julia Ann Stinson in Transactions of the Kansas State Historical Society, 1907-1908, Vol. X, edited by George W. Martin (Topeka, 1908), pp. 401-402.

I think Kentucky is the correct [birth]place, at least reading these entries from documents in the Kansas Historical Society. See below:
My grandmother [Parlie Blackfish Rogers] said they came to where there were great barracks, where they stayed quite a while. Grandfather [Lewis Rogers] died in Missouri. Then my grandmother came to Kansas. She brought 20 slaves with her and $4000. They had sold their land in Ky and everything and brought the money with them. She loaned The Shawnee Manual Labor School. He returned the money when to her afterwards.

Another statement:
She said ..When the Shawnee left Kentucky to go to Ohio, my father Henry Rogers remained in Kentucky. He accumulated property and slaves. I remember four children Henry, William, Mary my mother [Mary Elizabeth Rogers Beauchemie] but they called her Polly, and Betsy. There were several others…

Death Notes: Wife - Mary Elizabeth Rogers

Source: Transactions of the Kansas State Historical Society, 1907-1908, Vol. X, edited by George W. Martin (Topeka, 1908), pp. 401-402.

"[Boachman's] wife was Polly Rogers, daughter of Henry Rogers and his wife, the daughter of Blackfish, chief of the Shawnees. She probably belonged to the small band of Shawnees which settled on the Meramec, near the leadmines, in Missouri, about the beginning of the last century [early 1800's]. Mrs. Boachman died a few weeks before her husband, at the old Pottawatomie mission, in the spring of 1848 or 1849. "


Research Notes: Wife - Mary Elizabeth Rogers

Polly Rogers is given in the following source as the wife of Rev. Mackinaw Boachman [see below], who was a daughter of Lewis Rogers Blackfish. Although there has been a mixup of the family history of Lewis Rogers and Henry Rogers, both white adoptees of Chief Black Fish, my research confirms that Mrs. Julia Ann Beauchmie Stinson was the granddaughter of Lewis Rogers & Parlie Blackfish through her mother, Mary Elizabeth Rogers. Rev. Mackinaw Beauchmie, father of Julia Ann Beauchmie Stinson, is mentioned toward the end of the account below, in addition to Mrs. Stinson's cousin Graham Rogers [Jr.], who was most likely the son of Mary Elizabeth's brother, Graham Rogers.

The following story about Lewis "Chinwa" Rogers refers to Blackfish's "only son" as the one who was killed, but since it is a story passed down through a couple of generations, that is most likely an error in the retelling or in Rev. Spencer's reporting.

From Find A Grave memorial # 19252252 - Lewis Chinwa Rogers (1764-1830), provided by Emily Benefield:

When Lewis Chinwa Rogers was born in 1764 in Virginia, his father, Benjamin, was 16 and his mother, Jane, was 16. He had four sons and four daughters with Parlie Chalakatha. He died in 1830 in Fayette, Missouri, at the age of 66.

Our Rogers family of Larkin Rogers his brother had been told this story for many years down through multiple lines of the family that settled in different places in Texas. With DNA we now know this is our relative. Specifically we match descendants of the [Thomas Nesbit] Stinson line. Lewis Rogers was named in his father's will in 1808. There has been speculation but so far I have seen no proof that when Lewis Rogers was stolen by Chief Blackfish he stole Lewis's brother Henry. There may have been a Henry Rogers stolen by Chief Blackfish but I do not believe it was a brother.

Below is a story told by Lewis [Henry?] Rogers' grand daughter ["Mrs. Stinson"].

CHIEF BLACKFISH AND HIS WHITE CAPTIVE.
BY REV. [Joab] SPENCER.

Late in the eighteenth century Blackfish, a Shawnee chief then living in Kentucky, lost his only son in a fight with the whites. To make up the loss, as far as possible, he ordered two of his braves, according to history, to capture a white boy to take the place of his dead son. We give the story that follows as told by Mrs. Stinson, a granddaughter of the stolen boy, in her own artless way:

"When the boy was brought to the chief, Blackfish showed the boy the arrows and other things that had belonged to his son, the lost Indian boy, and the father told him that these were his. He was to be brought up as a brave chief, as his own little boy [Chinwa] would have been. So my grandfather lived and grew up with the Indians. But he was always called by the name of Lewis Rogers.

"In course of time this Rogers married the chief's daughter, with whom he had been brought up as brother and sister. When the young man proposed to marry the girl, she still thought he was her own brother, and she felt insulted and told her mother of the strange talk of her brother. Her mother sent her to her father, who told her how it was and how the conduct of her brother was all right; that the young man was not her brother, and he advised her to marry him. She said she could not. She loved him as her brother, but could do no more than this. But her father persuaded her that she ought to marry the young man. She said she could not then consent; she must take time to think about it. So after a year she consented, and they were married.

"Rogers had three children by the chief's daughter. Then his brothers came to him from Virginia. They told him that his mother wanted him to return to her; that she was old and wanted to see her lost son before she died. So he went with his brothers to visit his mother. He was received with great rejoicing. A great many guests were invited to a grand celebration. He was treated with the utmost kindness and had given him everything for his enjoyment. They asked him to lay aside his Indian garb and again to take up his home with his kindred. His mother, who treated him with all the endearment of affection, told him that he must never go back to the Indian country. But he continued to wear his Indian garments, and could not be induced to discard them. He told them he was an Indian now; he had become a son of the chief; he was married to the chief's daughter, whom he loved; and he had three little boys, whom he loved with all the affection of human nature. 'Mother, I came just to visit you because I love you, and have not lost my affection for my brothers. But I have come just on a visit. My wife and children, whom I love more than all else; are still in the forest awaiting my return. I love my wife. We grew up together in the grand old forests. I love my three little boys. If you have invited me here to induce me to remain and live with you, I cannot do as you wish. I must return to my wife and children.'

"He arose early the next morning and called his servants to prepare his horse for a journey. The slave said: 'Massa Lewis, yo' ain' a-going away. Yo' is a-going stay heah.' Father Rogers was a wealthy slaveholder in Virginia, not long come from the mother country, England.

(Page 48)
"Lewis had been three months with his mother. His Indian wife's people told her that her husband would never come back, 'O no,' she said, 'he will come.' So one evening she heard his whoop. She called her children and said: 'I believe I hear your father. ' And then another whoop was heard, and he appeared in sight riding swiftly into the settlement. It had taken him three days to come from Virginia on horseback. Then the mother and children rushed to greet him. He jumped from his horse and embraced his wife and children, exclaiming: 'O Parlie, I will never leave you again!'

"Lewis Rogers, Jr., died in Fayette, Howard County, Mo. One of his sons, Henry Lewis, was educated in Kentucky. He brought about the establishment of the Methodist Mission, of which Thomas Johnson became the superintendent. He loaned Thomas Johnson $4, 000 to go on with the mission. The Rogerses of the Shawnee tribe were sons or descendants of Henry Rogers.

"My mother was a Rogers; Betsy Rogers was her name. She married Mackinac Beauchmie. He was born at Mackinac Strait. He belonged to the American Fur Company. In trapping and hunting among the Indians he traveled down the Ohio River. There he found my mother among the Shawnees and married her. He then continued to live with the Shawnees but he was for several years with the trappers in the Missouri River country toward the mountains. Then he came back and joined the Shawnees in Kansas, about the time they came to Kansas, about 1832. He then joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, and never went back to the Fur Company. He learned to speak good English with the Fur Company, and he became the interpreter for Rev. Thomas Johnson at the mission. He became very useful to Mr. Johnson. At one time he traveled with him on one of his journeys to procure money to build up and maintain the mission. After the Shawnee Mission had become established, Mr. Johnson had my father go among the Pottawattomies to start the mission. He preached to the Pottawattomies and did missionary work among them. The mission was close to Ossawatomie, down on the Marias de Cygne, or on the Pottawattomi Creek. My father [Rev. Beauchmie] died at the mission about 1846 or 1847.

"I was at Fayette, Mo., at the time going to school. I went down on the steamboat on the river at the time some soldiers were going to the Mexican War. They went around by St. Louis and New Orleans."

Henry Rogers, as stated above, was a most excellent man, and, as Mrs. Stinson states, a warm and true friend of the Shawnee Methodist Mission. Her father [Rev. Beauchmie] became a very useful preacher, and was a member of the Indian Mission Conference when he died and an ordained deacon.

Of him Bishop Andrew, in a letter written in 1848 while on a tour among the Indian missions of Kansas, says: "During the past year one who was probably the greatest and best of the Pottawattomies was summoned from earth, Rev. Mackinaw Beauchmie, a man of rare gifts and address and constant piety."

While a missionary to the Shawnees, I heard Brother Johnson tell of his trip East with Beauchmie and how greatly the people were interested in his addresses everywhere they went.
Graham Rogers, a cousin of Mrs. Stinson [and namesake of a son of Henry Rogers & Chelatha Blackfish], was one of my stewards, a most exemplary Christian and in every way a worthy man.

[Note: The following is one of the recent sources that perpetuates a mixup of Lewis Rogers and Henry Rogers.]

From The Shawnees and Their Neighbors by Stephen Warren, 2008, p. 119:

Some Native people, the most famous of whom was Mackinaw Boachman, moved from esteemed positions as traders and trappers to recognized preachers of the Missouri Methodist conference. Accounts of his identity vary somewhat, but evidence suggests that Boachman was born in Mackinaw Island, Michigan, the son of a French fur trader and a Chippewa woman. His diverse ancestry is typical of most American Indian people of the Great Lakes during the early republic. Boachman's mother fled to the Potawatomis when he was a young boy, and he remained with the tribe for the rest of his childhood. He eventually worked as a hunter and trapper with the American Fur Company - a profession that pulled him out of the Great Lakes and into the trans-Mississippi West. Perhaps because of their connections with prominent fur traders, including the Chouteau family, Boachman fell in with the Rogerstown Shawnees. In 1825, he married Henry [Lewis] Rogers's daughter, Polly [Mary Elizabeth Rogers]. Soon thereafter, Boachman converted to Christianity under the guidance of Thomas Johnson. Boachman's daughter, Julia Ann Stinson, later remembered that "after my parents were married my father stopped going with the American Fur Company and interpreted for Mr. [Thomas] Johnson and joined church. After the Pottawatomies cam to Kansas the Methodist church sent him to them as an interpreter because he could speak the language."
The Boachman-Rogers family thus became essential to the survival of the mission and ultimately helped the Methodists to expand their reach to neighboring tribes. The Boachman family lived less than a half-mile from the Shawnee Methodist Mission in present-day Wyandotte County, owned two slaves, and made a decent living through the sale of horses and mules to overland migrants. In 1837, when she was seventeen, Anne Boachman married the Reverend Nathan T. Shaler. According to Methodist missionary J. J. Lutz, Annie "had been brought up at the mission, where she cared for Mrs. Johnson's children." Marriage into the Rogers family led Boachman to positions of authority among both the Shawnees and the Methodists.
Boachman stood apart from the majority of the Christian Indians in the Indian Territory because he was the first to become a preacher and missionary at a time when most Indians occupied less prestigious positions in the church hierarchy. As a license preacher, by 1843 Boachman held the same position as Nathan Scarritt. The Reverend Joab Spencer, a missionary to the Shawnees in the 1850s and 1860s, credited Boachman with "exhort[ing] his Shawnee friends to forsake paganism and become Christians." Boachman's multitribal upbringing made him particularly useful to the Methodists. His linguistic skills allowed him to preach in several Native languages. Before his death in 1848, Boachman worked as a missionary to the Potawatomis, Sacs, Chippewas, and Weas.

Graham rogers was a carpenter for the Shawnees.1851 was a time of dispute among Traditional Shawnee tribal Elders the white styled progressives,conservatives vs the liberals.Specifically the conservative traditionalists,including Blackhoof George Bluejacket the modernists included the Reverand Charles Bluejacket and Graham Rogers, whether the the Shawnee Council chief should be passed nephew to nephew in the old traditional way or else elected by popular vote of the entire tribe, white fashion. When Chief John perry died, he was suceeded by James Francis, son of his sister, the last traditional heredity Chief. In 1851 Joseph Parks was voted in as head Chief Graham Rogers as second Chief. When Joseph died,Graham Rogers became head chief.In 1860, Paschal Fish William Rogers were the principal chiefs of the Fish or Jackson Band of Shawnees with Charles Fish, Charles Tucker, George Doughtery,Charles Tooley, Jackson Rogers,subchiefs 7 councelors.Other marriages one being Lewis Rogers to Miria, Wm.

On behalf of the Cherokees, it was signed by Lewis Downing,"principal chief of the Cherokee Nation." Among Shawnee guardianship cases reviewed by the Comissioner of Indian Affairs in 1871 were the cases of William, Jackson,Graham, Wilson Rogers. The wife of Wilson Rogers was" a cousin to Cornatzer`s wife." This should shed some insight into Rogers heritage!"

Excerpt from the Kansas Historical Society (Kansas Historical Quarterly) quoted in Find A Grave memorial 159054450:

C Pottawatomie Methodist Mission was opened in the autumn at a site near one of the Indian settlements on Pottawatomie creek not far from the Miami-Franklin county line of today.The main building was a story-and-a-half "double log house, standing east and west, with a hallway between/' Mackinaw Beauchemie (half Chippewa, but raised among the Pottawatomies ) and his family may have moved into quarters there before the Rev. Edward T. Peery (with his family) arrived in the latter part of 1838. A missionary had been assigned (by the Missouri conference) in the fall of 1837, to work among the Pottawatomies, but failed to arrive. Meantime, the Rev. Thomas Johnson (of Shawnee mission) visiting the Pottawatomies, and finding them unsettled, determined not to build a mission in 1837; but "employed a native exhorter [Beauchemie] from the Shawnee mission . . . who speaks the language to labor among them this winter [1837-1838] and to act as interpreter for the missionary when he arrives."

[In the later edition, none of Mackinaw Beauchemie's children is listed though they are found above in entry 1381. Unfortunately, the author retained the defective 1382 including Henry Rogers as her father.]

From Don Greene's later book Shawnee Heritage II: Select Lineages of Notable Shawnee, 2014, p. 338:

Birth Notes: Child - Rev. Mackinac John Beauchemie

Researcher Don Greene sets his birth year at 1770. FindaGrave memorial 159054450 has 1807.


Death Notes: Child - Rev. Mackinac John Beauchemie

A separate source shows Rev. Beauchemie dying at the Shawnee Methodist Mission. However, since he and his wife spent the last years of their life at the Pottawatomie Methodist Mission, it is more likely that they died there. That location is confirmed by the Kansas Historical Society in an excerpt quoted at FindaGrave.com.
