Mr. Kneen possesses a wonderful memory and can relate many incidents of early days, when Indians were keeping the settlers in more or less anxiety. She came across the plains five times before 1870 and has more memories of wagon-trains and troops than most of the women. She was captured by Confederates in 1860, was shipwrecked, was with the troops when they rounded up the Mormons, in 1859. The next year she went with her husband to what is now New Mexico, and after the outbreak of the Civil war, they were captured by Confederate troops under Colonel Baily. They were paroled to the United States, and in 1862 exchanged. Soon after her husband went to the army of the Potomac, serving until peace was declared. Then they left for Florida, and on the Delaware were shipwrecked at St. John's bar. Then on to Fort Bridger, and to Montana, where they settled at Fort Logan. Mrs. Kneen was born at Porta Ferry, County Down, Ireland, and was married there to Samuel Logan, and was 18 years old when they came to America. Mr. Logan died in 1872 at Fort Shaw. She married James Kneen at Fort Logan. He died in 1913. Mrs. Kneen has several children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, is remarkably active, and takes an active interest in religion, politics and national affairs. -------------------- NOTE: The above newspaper article is transcribed as a courtesy only.

Columbus [Stillwater County], June 7. --- Mrs. R. L. Potter, 77, who came to Montana from Michigan in 1882 and had been a resident of the state continuously since that time, died at her home near Columbus Sunday morning after an extended illness caused by cancer. With her first husband, Edwin DeFrate, and children, she settled at Fort Maginnis [on the Blackfeet Reservation], 40 miles northeast of Lewistown [Fergus County], in the spring of 1882, where Mr. DeFrate was a barber for a year. A boom at the mining camp at Maiden [Fergus County] drew the family there in 1883 and in the spring of the following year they went to Lewistown to reside. She was one of the first four white women to settle in what is now the Fergus county seat. The family later went to Philbrook, in western Fergus county, where [they] operated a hotel for a year and then drifted back to Lewistown. Restlessness, which typified the spirit of the early days, next took the DeFrates to the silver mining camp near Nyhart [Madison County]where in 1892 Mr. DeFrate died. Four children were born to that union. On May 18, 1895, Mrs. DeFrate married Mr. Potter in Great Falls [Cascade County]. He owned and operated a harness shop at Belt [Cascade County] until 1899 and then purchased a similar business in Utica [Judith Basin County]. The family moved to Columbus in 1902 and has lived here since. Mr. Potter is at present custodian of the Stillwater county courthouse. The Potters had four children. Mrs. Potter was a member of the Congregational church, the Eastern Start and Royal Neighbors. Besides her husband, she is survived by a daughter, Stella Potter of Columbus, and three sons, Milo Potter of Ketchikan, Alaska, Roy Potter of Billings, Earl Potter of Los Angeles, Calif., and several children by her former marriage. ----------------------------- To obtain a copy of Death Certificates, you will need to contact the Clerk & Recorder of the county in which they died. These are very inexpensive, about $3.00 plus postage. You can find the above noted counties on the following MTGenWeb County Rootsweb site. Click on the County and then you should be able to find the address and phone number of the appropriate Clerk & Recorder: The death certificates generally specify where the deceased was born, birthdate, date and place of death, maiden name of mother, parents' birthplaces, funeral parlor and place of burial. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mtgenweb/countytbl.html I recommend that you obtain Edwin's Civil War Pension papers, as they usually have a wealth of genealogical information, including birthdates, wedding dates and places, and name and ages of children, etc. I have obtained these papers for 3 of my ancestors and found them to be well worth the cost. A specific form has to be completed, and then submitted to NARA in Washington D.C. It can take up to 6 months to receive the pension papers, but the wait is usually well worth it. Below are two site with more information: http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/military/civil_war_records.html http://www.oz.net/~cyndihow/pensions.htm I found Etzel Gordon DeFrate buried in the Custer County Memorial Cemetery. He died on 24 Feb 1886 (I presume he was Edwin's brother). Just type in "DeFrate" and then choose "Montana." http://www.interment.net/ I believe that Ella DeFrate-Potter's real given name was Eloise and this is how I found her listed in the MONTANA DEATH INDEX 1907-1953: POTTER, Eloise Died: 04 Jun 1938 at 77 Index #: 1041 -------------------------------------- Although it costs a little more, you can obtain copies of Death Certificates by contacting the Montana Dept. of Vital Statistics whose address can be found at the following site: http://www.vitalrec.com/mt.html --------------------------------------- NOTE: The transcription of the above records has been provided as a courtesy only, as I am not related to, nor do I have any personal knowledge of, the DeFrate family.

A more personal goal is to find as many descendants of James White and wife Esther Dunlap as possible. At least one line of descent moved on to Lucas Co., OH and LaSalle Co., IL.Our White's belonged to the Presbyterian Church and I assume they were Scots-Irish, but no proof yet.
