Birth Notes: Husband - Lewis Rogers

Researcher Don Greene puts his birth year about 1750. Geni.com has 1746. But those could be in error. The narrative in his Find A Grave memorial (ID 192522520) has him born in 1764 in Virginia, "when both his parents were 16 years old." Research into his parents and siblings bears out the later date.

A family tree on Rootsweb (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kearns_family_2&id=I5812) gives Mary "Polly" Rogers as the daughter of Captain Lewis Rogers (b. 1750 in Virginia) and Parlie Blackfish (b. 1756 in Ohio).

www.wyandot.org/emigrant.htm says Polly Rogers was the daughter of Lewis Rogers. Fern Long wrote an article on Chief Fish (William Jackson) in 1978 in which she stated that he was raised by the Shawnees in the band of Lewis Rogers whose daughter he married. Lewis Rogers and William Jackson were both adopted by Chief Black Fish into the Shawnee tribe, but it makes sense if William Jackson was actually in the same band as Lewis Rogers.
Research Notes: Husband - Lewis Rogers

Apparently, Chief Black Fish stole/adopted two unrelated young men named Rogers. One - Lewis Rogers (1764-1830) was the son of Benjamin Rogers and Jane Moss. Lewis Rogers had at least 3 sons and 1 daughter with Blackfish's daughter Parlie Chalakatha. See Findagrave.com memorial ID 19352252. The other was Captain Henry Rogers, about whom less is known. With Blackfish's daughter Chelatha he had 4 sons and 4 daughters.

Unfortunately, information for both men has been erroneously combined in some recent sources, including connections made to children.

[The chronology may be right, but the Rogers children belong to Henry Rogers, who was probably not Lewis' brother.]

Don Greene has put contradictory info in Shawnee Heritage II, which is probably also in Shawnee Heritage I. He got Lewis right in the entry for his wife, Parlie Blackfish, but got their children wrong. My research shows that the listed children were those of Henry Rogers and Chelatha Blackfish. On page 328 he writes:

DAUGHTER [of Black Fish]
Blackfish, Parlie aka Polly - Chalakatha-Mekoche-Pekowi born 1756 OH-died after 1799 (MO?) - daughter of Black Fish/1725 & Watmeme Opessa/1730, granddaughter of Loyparkoweh Opessa/1702, called a relative of Tecumseh/1768, wife about 1771 OH of Lewis Rogers/1750 adopted white, mother of Nancy Rogers/1772, Martha Rogers/1774, James Rogers/1778, Polly Rogers/1782, Lewis Rogers/1786-all ½ Chalakatha-Mekoche-Pekowi-Metis

These entries likely contain errors, too:

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. [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.

Apparently, Chief Black Fish stole/adopted two unrelated young men named Rogers. One - Lewis Chinwa Rogers (1764-1830) was the [adopted?] son of Benjamin Rogers and Jane Moss. Lewis Chinwa Rogers had at least 3 sons and 1 daughter with Blackfish's daughter Parlie Chalakatha. See Findagrave.com memorial ID 19352252. The other was Captain Henry Rogers, about whom less is known. With Blackfish's daughter Chelatha he had at least 4 sons and 4 daughters.

In summary, the children of each man were as follows.

Lewis Chinwa Rogers (+ Parlie Blackfish)
- Lewis Rogers [Jr.]
- William Rogers
- Graham Rogers
- Mary Elizabeth (Polly/Betsy) Rogers

Captain Henry Rogers (+Chelatha Blackfish)
- Nancy Rogers/1772
- Mary Rogers/1774
- Lewis Rogers/1776
- James Rogers/1778
- William Rogers/1780
- Martha (Polly) Rogers/1782
- Elizabeth Rogers/1784
- Parlie Rogers/1786

Julia said in her documents that her grandmother was with her mother when she was born. So we know that Parlie was alive in 1834. Also Julia relates a story about her grandmother coming to visit. I am assuming that Julia was at least 6 yrs old and that would place this about 1840.

I think Kentucky is the correct [birth]place [of Mary Elizabeth Rogers], 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…

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.

"[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. "

Captain Antoine Dagneaux de Quindre with eleven soldiers and 444 Shawnees, including Chief Blackfish, demanded the surrender of Boonesborough. Daniel Boone was in command of the sixty American sharpshooters in the fort. After losing 35 warriors to the Kentucky fighters, the indians quit on the 20th. Boone's forces reported only four men killed in the fighting. Some sources put the settlers' numbers at 30 men, 20 young men, and a few women and children. The losses were also reported at 37 Shawnees and two settlers. 1615 Toronto Ontario - Étienne Brulé c1592-1632 goes down 'le passage de Toronto' with twelve Huron warriors, to meet allies and gather support; well worn portage to Lake Ontario via Holland River. BACKGROUND: Excerpt from http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Cove/8286/boone.html In January of 1778 Boonesborough was desperately in need of salt. The Indians usually kept close to home in winter, so Boone took 30 men to boil a supply at the mineral springs at Blue Licks, 70 miles to the north.Weeks later, off hunting alone, Boone himself was surprised and captured by the Shawnee. At their camp he was shocked to find a force of more than a hundred warriors. They were eager to avenge the murder of their great chief, Cornstalk, who a few months earlier had been killed by the whites while on a mission of peace. The Shawnee were led by Chief Blackfish, who knew of the saltmaker's camp and intended to attack Boonesborough. Boone promised to surrender the men at Blue Licks, but he persuaded Blackfish that it would be better to take Bonnesborough in the spring when the women and children could more easily survive the trek north, either to be adopted by the Shawnee or sold to the British. The captured Kentuckians were marched to Old Chillicothe, a Shawnee community on the Little Miami River, near present-day Xenia, Ohio. Boone and ten others were taken to Lt. Gov. Henry Hamilton in Detroit, who paid a bounty for all but Boone, whom Blackfish refused to surrender. Taken back to Old Chillicothe, Boone, who had been adopted by Blackfish, became known as Sheltowee - Big Turtle. ***** >From http://www.airtanker.com/mcnally/hart/fort.html Fort Boonesborough While the American Revolution brewed in the East, the time was right for migration to the West. The Transylvania Company in was founded in 1775 and soon purchased land from the Cherokees. "On March 19 Henderson and the chiefs set their signatures to the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals. By its terms the Indians, in return for trading goods valued at 10,000 pounds sterling, ceded to the Transylvania Company the territory between the Kentucky River and the highlands south of the Cumberland and a strip of land between the Holston River and the Cumberland Mountains". This purchase extended from the Ohio-Kentucky on the north to the most southwesterly branch of the Cumberland River. The American Revolution upset plans for the Transylvania Company and the purchase was declared void when Virginia established Kentucke County. "Richard Henderson, head of the Transylvania Company named Fort Boonesborough in honor of the path-breaker, Daniel Boone." (Henderson) He sent Boone and several axmen ahead to begin building the fort. Henderson, Hart and the rest of the party arrived about three weeks later, on April 20, 1775. That summer, the new fort consisted of 26, one-story log cabins and four blockhouses, arranged in a hollow square approximately 260' X 180'. The back of the fort, comprised of the back row of cabins, ran parallel with the Kentucky River. The front faced the open space in the hollow below the fort where the lick and the two springs were located. There were two gates, one in the front and the other on the back wall facing the river(Kentucky State Parks). >From the very beginning, Boonesborough was the primary target of Indian hostilities in Kentucky. The fort was attacked in December 1775, and in April and July 1777 by large war parties that were more successful than killing a few settlers. The Calloway girls and Boones' daughter were captured in July 1776. A party of men tracked down the Indians, surprised them at their campsite, and rescued the girls. No attack on the fort, though, rivaled that of the "Great Siege of Boonesborough" in the fall of 1778. Earlier, in January, 30 men from the fort were led by Daniel Boone to the Lower Blue Licks to gather salt. Here they were captured by Shawnees, taken to Chillicothe in Ohio and eventually to Detroit. Boone made himself such an amiable companion to Chief Blackfish that the Shawnee chief refused to accept the large British reward for him. He adopted Boone and named him "Sheltowee" or Big Turtle. In June, Boone slipped away and made it back to Boonesborough. Here, he was met with much suspicion, especially since his hair had been plucked and he had adopted other Indian customs. The residents of Boonesborough thought he was the forerunner of a savage attack and felt he had befriended the Indians. Later Boone was tried for treason but was acquitted (Kentucky State Parks). On September 7, 1778, 400 Indians and 12 French companions appeared at the fort. After a couple days of talk, the attack finally came, and it was furious. The French and Indians attempted to set fire to the fort by shooting fireballs onto the roofs of the cabins. The plan failed because the women and children of the fort easily put out the fires and were aided by heavy rainfall. Next the attackers tried to burrow under the foundation of the stockade. The pioneers thwarted this scheme and the French and Indians retreated after a 13 day siege. "... we had two men killed, and four wounded, besides a number of cattle. We killed of the enemy thirty-seven, and wounded a great number". Excerpts from http://www.lehigh.edu/~ineng/kem3/kem3-histcontext.html A Very Brief History of Kentucky, 1670s to 1783 [21] ... Invaluable to Natives as a sacred hunting ground embodying the Native way of life and invaluable to American colonists as an idyllic paradise teeming with game, capital resources, and productive expanses of land, Kentucky was a prized territory that all sides and all peoples thought deserving of inexhaustible effort to possess. For the Shawnee, Cherokee, and Ohio Valley peoples, Kentucky was a foothold they couldn't afford to lose; if the colonists settled west of the Appalachians, they would surely spread farther and farther. For the colonists, dispossessing the Indians of Kentucky was a significant step toward moving west and founding an empire large enough to house their capitalist visions. At the turn of the nineteenth century, Lexington was heralded as the "Philadelphia of the West" and Philadelphia was redefined as the "Lexington of the East". One writer even predicted that the "seat of [the] general government will probably be removed" to Lexington. To avoid repeating myself, I will assume what is written above as I further contextualize the Boone history with what is added below. [22] Archaeological studies indicate the continual habitation of Kentucky about 10,000 years before the Europeans first arrived. The first European explorers to go south of the Ohio River were the French, who encountered scattered hamlets there, calling them Chaouanon (Shawnee) towns. But before the French first set foot in Kentucky in the last quarter of the seventeenth century, European colonization had already propelled a chain of events that dispossessed the Shawnee of portions of this territory. The desettlement of Kentucky began about a century before Daniel Boone set foot there, when in the 1670s the Iroquois invaded the Ohio River Valley and pushed the indigens out. Prompted by economic and demographic factors as well as a need to increase the tribal populations that European epidemic diseases and war had depleted, the Iroquois depredated Shawnee villages and eventually scattered them into Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Pennsylvania. Repopulation, however, soon followed when in the beginning of the eighteenth century, many Shawnee returned to areas north of the Ohio River, "seeking refuge from white encroachments and defying the Iroquois' hegemonic pretenses". With this repopulation came more European influence, as some repopulators desired to position themselves within the commerce between the French, British, and other Natives. Also with them came people of European or partial European descent. A cultural mesh was begun even before the persistent masses of colonial settlers entered Kentucky in the 1770s under the guidance of Daniel Boone. [23] It is worth noting here a few misconceptions that Stephen Aron details in regard to the woodland Natives who inhabited the Ohio Valley. He says that the traditional view of these people has been skewed by rhetoric and cultural discourse that subordinated the Native life to European ways. For example, the role of women among these peoples was depicted as one of toilsome servility. On the contrary, scholars have recently found that women did indeed mind the domestic chores but their toil was not oppressively imposed nor were they regarded in slavish terms. Indian women "safeguarded their subsistence by combining products of forest and farm", and because large families were not customary in Native life, one or two well-cultivated acres would provide the family with what it needed. It seems fair to say that, in fact, the backcountry frontier women may have toiled longer and harder to support their large broods than their Indian counterparts. A related point is the traditional portrait of the Natives as primarily a hunting people. This image "represented the lowest stage of social evolution and provided a well-worn rationale for Anglo-American conquest and colonization". It is more accurate to note that the Natives of this area were productive agrarians whose cultivation skills provided a larger part of their diet than the flesh they hunted. Also, because the Natives' spirituality was based in a kinship with the animals, they favored a perpetual abundance of animals. Flesh hunting, for this reason, was limited to what they needed to complement their diet and what could provide basic necessities such as clothing, implements, and so forth. The European discourse, however, preferred to think that an agrarian subsistence is a sign of progress, something they didn't want to see in the Natives. Seemingly insignificant misconceptions like these fueled and justified the cultural superiority that the whites would claim for centuries. The Indians were much wiser, well-adjusted, civil, and conservative than European hegemony would admit. [24] When the French were ejected from the Ohio Valley after the French and Indian War, the Native positions within the trade circles were weakened. Because only the British remained in the valley, the Natives could not ensure themselves a comfortable degree of independence and autonomy by maintaining a balanced trade. Jeffrey Amherst, the British military commander, ordered that British-Indian relations would no longer include gifts meant to steady teetering diplomacy. Because the French were out of the picture, the British could demand a strictly commercial exchange, not a conciliatory one that sought political alliance. These high-handed dealings with the Natives and the little compensation that the British offered them helped to fuel what has since been called Pontiac's Rebellion (1763-65). [25] Around the time of the Revolutionary War, the Natives, British, and Americans viewed Kentucky as a prized, contested area. All employed strategies to gain and maintain control of Kentucky. In the aftermath of Lord Dunmore's War, Ohio Valley Natives raided settlements in Kentucky hoping to expel European settlers. Among these tribes were the Ohio Valley Mingos, Wyandots, Shawnee, and Delawares. Established by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix, the line of demarcation along the Ohio River was not always honored. As the war progressed, the Shawnee were especially persistent in carrying out Kentucky raids, for settlers had killed peace-seeking Seneca and Shawnee chiefs. [25] By 1777, the Kentucky rebels had established a military organization readied for a slew of Indian attacks. Under the first Kentucky colonel, John Bowman, were two majors, one of whom was George Rogers Clark, and four captains, Daniel Boone, James Harrod, John Todd, and Benjamin Logan. In 1777 the Shawnee war chief Blackfish (Mkadday-wah-may-quah) led a series of sieges against Kentucky settlements. Much success followed when settlers abandoned seven stations and fled to the colonies. Only Boonesborough, Harrodsburg, and Logan's Station (St. Asaph's Fort) remained Patriot strongholds. In February of 1778, Boone and some of his men ventured out to restock their salt supply at the Licking River. The Shawnee captured Boone and most of the others. It was during this captivity that Boone feigned conversion to the British side as a political ploy to ensure that he and his men would remain alive. He was also adopted as a son by Blackfish and given the name Sheltowee, or Big Turtle. Respecting and trusting Boone, Blackfish refused to deal Sheltowee to British Lieutenant-Governor Hamilton. In June of the same year, Boone managed to escape and make it back to Boonesborough to prepare his depleted fort for an imminent Shawnee attack. [26] In August of 1778, Hamilton sent out an expedition of Natives and French-Canadians to take Boonesborough. Led by Blackfish, sieges on Boonesborough failed, and the patriotic heroism of Boone was established. Beyond this, the Delawares had formed a rather tenuous alliance with the Americans, but then withdrew much of their support when the Americans proposed a campaign to take Detroit. The Delawares were enraged when the Americans killed the Delaware chief White Eyes in September 1778 and fell short of providing the supplies they had promised the Delawares. ------------------------------------------------------ Koquethagechton / White Eyes / Captain Grey Eyes [fl. 1763 onwards; he was murdered November 10, 1778], Delaware chief, Turtle clan; head statesman of the Delaware Nation along with Chief Neytawatwees; Captain Grey Eyes was the successor to Chief Netawatwees in 1763; Gorsham Hicks, a prisoner of the Delawares, built a house for White Eyes, Delaware chief, at Salt Licks in the winter of 1763-64; White Eyes attended a congress at Fort Pitt, May 9, 1765; he threatened to resign his position unless the Moravian Delawares were accepted by the Delaware Nation; Koquethagechton kept the Delaware neutral in Lord Dunsmore's War and signed an alliance with the US on September 7, 1778; he was the leader of the peace party, advocating a separate state in the United States for the Delaware Nation; he did not become a Christian; the US Treaty of Fort McIntosh called for the re-admission of Captain White Eyes into the treaty claims of the Delaware Nation on January 21, 1785; John Greyeyes [fl. 1843], a converted Christian Wyandot, gave a farewell sermon in the Wyandot language at Upper Sandusky in July 1843, on the occasion of the departure of the Wyandot from Ohio (US 1837: 6; Gray: 52ff, 60-61, 85, 303; Kjellberg: 25-26; OAHS vol.

Source: A History of Wales by John Davies, London, 2007, p. 81

From Dictionary of National Biography, vol. XII, edited by Sidney Lee, New York, 1909, pp. 1015-1016:

"MAREDUDD ap BLEDDYN (d. 1182), prince of Powys, was the son of Bleddyn ap Cynfyn (d. 1075), founder of the last native dynasty of Powys. Durikng his earlier years he played only a subordinate part in Welsh affairs, being overshadowed by his brothers Iowerth [q.v.] and Cadwgan (d. 1112) [q.v.] He joined them in the support which they gave to their over-lord, Earl Robert of Shrewsbury, in his rebellion against Henry I (1102), but Iorwerth soon went over to the king and, while making his peace with Cadwgan, consigned Maredudd to a royal prison. In 1107 Maredudd escaped and returned to Powys. He remained, however, without territory for several years. Even when Iorwerth and Cadwgan were slain in succession in 1112 he did not improve his position. According to 'Brut y Tywysogion' (Oxford edit. p. 291), he was in 1113 'penteulu' (captain of the guard) to Owain ap Cadwgan, an office specially reserved by Welsh custom for landless members of the royal family (Ancient Laws of Wales, ed. 1841, i. 12). In that year, however, Owain divided with him the forfeited domains of Madog ap Fhiryd. Though the gift seems to have been resumed, Maredudd recovered it on Owain's death in 1116, and henceforward appears regularly among the princes of Powys. In 1118 he took part in the feud between Hywel of Rhos and Rhufoniog and the sons of Owain ab Edwin. In 1121 he was leader of the resistance offered by Powys to the invasion of Henry I. During the few remaining years of his life his power grew apace; in 1128 his nephew, Einon ap Cadwgan, bequeathed him his territory; in 1124 a second son of Cadwgan, Maredudd, was murdered; and in 1128 a third, Morgan, eied on pilgrimage. Two other enemies to his progress--his nephew, Ithel ap Rhiryd, and his great-nephew, Llywelyn ab Owain--Maredudd himself removed, the former by murder, the latter by mutilation. Thus at his death in 1132 he was lord of all Powys [see MADOG ap MAREDUDD]. [Annales Cambriae, Rolls ed.; Brut y Tywysogion, Oxford edit. of Red Book of Hergest.] J. E. L. [John Edward Lloyd]"
