Not everyone believes that including the work of Dr Grace R Hebard that Sacajawea's grandchildren by John Baptiste were named Margaret and Barbara Myers. Last that John Baptise was close friends with Meriwether Lewis Clark and Robert E Lee. All these families have a part in this Lewis and Clark Expedition including Jerome Boneparte and his wife Elizabeth Patterson. Jerome Boneparte was the brother of Napoleon. So when you do a survey of the Versailles Cemetery in Pittsburgh of families of Lewis and Clark, you will find relatives of the Boneparte's and relatives of Sacajawea. This is NOT something the Historian's want so the Lewis and Clark trip starts in St Louis and Sacajawea was from someplace past St Louis. Wrong. Sacajawea was from the Land of the Three Rivers otherwise known as Pittsburgh and she was related to the Floyd family of Sgt Charles Floyd and the Hebard family of Charles Hebard, the professional boatman on the trip. Sacajawea brother was Chief of the Crow and Meriwether lewis and Sgt Charles Floyd expected a warm greating when they got to Montana. The Myers and Powell families were the two largest landowneres in Kentucky in the late 1700's. The Myers family was number one with a little over 1 million acres. The Powell family was number two with a little over 500,000 acres. The Myers family were surveyors and boat builders and had built boats for General George Rogers Clark who was the brother of William Clark. The invoices say Thomas Jefferson placed the order and paid for them. Benjamin Harrison was to pick them up and deliver them to General George Rogers Clark.
