I also thought of Young Colt, and then thought of a mountain man named Colter, i.e., Young Colter, but the one in that area died too early to be the father. It wouldn't surprise me, however, if Young Colt could have been the Indian name of the mother. Crows tend to follow their mother's lines in some respects. The James in the 1856 Census can't be James Case Greenwood. I have James Case Greenwood's own statement that he was in Coloma in 1849 where he'd come in 1848 with his father and family. He was also present at his father's death in about 1850 and migrated to the coast in about 1852/3 with three of his brothers. I think it's more likely yours was somehow related to your great great grandfather. The Crow elders knew well of Caleb. In the 1950s they said that Britton Bailey Greenwood was a son of a Greenwood in the Lewis and Clark party and a sister of their Chief Spotted Horse #1. Caleb may or may not have been with Lewis and Clark, but he was there a few years later, no later than 1810, and he was friends with the Crows. There is a photo of a Chief Spotted Horse of the Crows I've seen, but that one wasn't born until about 1850. There are also references to an earlier one that may have been killed in a battle with the Sioux in 1853. I suspect this might be the reason to number these guys. I think you're likely correct on Batchicka. I don't think the Greenwoods were anywhere near St. Louis, and I too believe there's no way they'd have hauled her there for burial. My great great grandmother was baptized in your area in 1840, and she said she'd lived with her sister until her sister died. Her sister Batchicka was supposedly also buried "by Catholic rites," so perhaps I'll find something when I search those St. Mary's records. The date would have to be sometime in late 1843 when he had a 6 month old with no mother, and no later than 1844 when he left and Batchicka was a year dead. I don't think he returned for several years after that, and then he left there for California for the final time in 1848. There'd have been four kids, three of his plus his sister-in-law my gggrandmother. If you do run across it and post it I'll appreciate that. Thanks much.
