Ask the Rix Robinson you know to tell you what he knows about his ancestors & what line he is from. Ask if he knows about the reunions. It would be interesting to see if he has native heritage. Will be waiting, even if it takes all summer!!! From Sebequay.

Looking for Andrew J. Smith b. Georgia, VT. abt. 1822. His 2 brothers, Lucius Davis and John were born and recorded there. He is not. Have asked Montpieler also and no record. His parents are Josiah Smith and Sarah Whittemore who were married in ST. Albans, VT. No mention of him anywhere yet. Does anyonel have this line or know anything? Thank you, Lynn

Joyce....thanks for your response.....Was the George Smith, born 1820 Oneida Wisconsin or Oneida New York?

Remember the annual Robinson reunion 3rd weekend in August in Ada park. Details as time nears. My dad, Max Aley, now 91, is from Edward Robinson line. His great grandfather was Steven Robinson whose dad was Edward whose dad was Edward Sr. who was married to Eunice RIX. That is where the Rix name came in. Eunice & Edward had a son they named Rix Robinson who became famous in West Michigan. Look in your search engine for Rix Robinson. Cousin my age, Mark VonDestinon has done much research & has website with name Cochise in it (as that is the college he works for).... Rix married 2 Indian woman.

Charles -- thanks for your response, but I see no connection to the Michigan Smiths...... JW -- my GEORGE A. SMITH is listed as the only relative to LEONORA PACKARD in IGI records............ LEONORA PACKARD was born about 1791 in supposedly Conn., but could have been Vermont.....She married Richard Loomis in 1812 and died in supposedly Madrid, St. Lawrence Co, N.Y. in abt 1869, but can find no cemetary records........ Recently heard from a PICARD researcher and we were looking into the possibility that GEORGE A.

Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 7:39 AM Subject: MI: Tribe's political rift has statewide impact http://www.freep.com/news/casinos/tribe1_20040601.htm Tribe's political rift has statewide impact Tribe's political rift has statewide impact June 1, 2004BY TINA LAM FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERThe Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, the largest official tribe east of the Mississippi and owner of Detroit's Greektown Casino, is in the midst of the fiercest turmoil in its 30-year history. The FBI is investigating two written death threats against the chairman, Bernard Bouschor. Bouschor has banned members from tribal land for what some say are minor infractions. Recently, tribal Vice Chairman Aaron Payment beat Bouschor in a four-way primary, setting up the chairman for his toughest election in his 17 years in office. The final vote -- a mail-in election -- will begin Friday, with votes counted June 24. Some members of his tribe say Bouschor has become a dictator who wields too much control and has stayed too long. Others say he has been good for the tribe and should stay. The politics within the 31,000-member tribe matter beyond its borders because it has become a powerful political force not only in the Upper Peninsula and Lansing, but also in Detroit. New leadership could chart a different course for the tribe's casinos in Detroit and Romulus. Payment said that if he wins, the tribe won't have casinos in both cities. "We told people in Detroit we would be behind Greektown," he said. "If Romulus turns out to be a wonderful opportunity and we move in that direction, then we should let somebody else have the opportunity in Greektown. We can't talk out of both sides of our mouth." The tribe plans a $350-million reservation casino in Romulus, which infuriates Detroit city officials because it would compete with Detroit's casinos. The tribe should put a casino in Monroe or Flint instead, Payment said. Anger, suspicion build The race for chairman has already been a hard-fought campaign that featured unsuccessful efforts by Bouschor's supporters to kick Payment off the tribal board. Anger and suspicion are rampant. The tribe will hand-count every vote in the upcoming election, because of fears its electronic ballot scanners aren't tamper-proof. Nearly four years ago, Bouschor was on top of the world, cutting the ribbons on the sparkling new Greektown Casino, the first non-reservation casino in the United States owned by a tribe. He had presided over the biggest expansion in the tribe's history, from its meager start in the early 1970s on a reservation without water and sewer connections to a $750-million empire that dominates the eastern UP. His tribe owns six casinos, more than any other American Indian tribe. But along the way, critics say Bouschor has piled up hundreds of millions of dollars in debt; rewarded his relatives with high-paying jobs; fired or silenced his opponents, and put white people in top jobs. While most tribal members who work for the casino or tribe make minimum wage and get no direct payments from tribal casinos, Bouschor has a salary of more than $850,000 as chief executive officer of the casinos. Until this year, his salary was secret. Revenue at the Greektown Casino lags behind the other Detroit casinos. Businesses the tribe started in the 1990s with much fanfare have failed and closed, including a neon firm and an auto supply company. Profits at the tribe's reservation casinos in the Upper Peninsula dipped last year. Nearly 40 percent of the funding for tribal programs still comes from thestate or federal government. Bouschor, mild-mannered and soft-spoken, said his opponents and critics would halt the tribe's progress. Payment's plan to drop the Romulus casino doesn't make sense because it will generate as much money as the Greektown Casino with half the debt, Bouschor said. "The caliber of individuals trying to replace me would destroy the tribe," he said. "They have no concept of the overall finances of the government and the casinos." Payment, 38, still lives in the reservation home he grew up in and that had no indoor plumbing until he was 15. He holds a master's degree in public administration and serves on the Greektown Casino management board. "Our revenue changed the perspective of some of the leaders," he said. "They lost touch with the average person in the tribe. I want to shift our focus back to the Indian values of meeting the needs of the neediest first." Payment said Bouschor fired him last summer from his job as the tribe's assistant executive director after the two clashed. Bouschor said Payment resigned. Payment said Bouschor rules by fear and retaliates against his opponents. Last month, Bouschor barred two Cheboygan brothers from tribal property for six months because one of them refused to stop speaking after asking a question at a board meeting. "He was being disruptive," Bouschor said of Clarence Hudac, who was escorted out of the meeting by tribal police. "He wouldn't give up the microphone." Hudac, who supports Payment, said he was trying to talk about the concerns of tribal members who live off the reservation and do not have their own representative on the tribal board. "I was trying to get him to answer questions people have," Hudac said. "I pleaded with him and he gaveled me out of order." Then, Hudac and his brother were served paperwork officially banning them. "I'm exiled," Hudac said. "Bouschor stepped over the line and went too far." At the same meeting, Bouschor supporters tried to remove Payment from the tribal board, charging him with various offenses. The petitioners withdrew the charges before an angry crowd. It was the seventh time Payment said he has faced removal. Removal of a member is done by the board itself, rather than by a vote of the people. Theresa DeLorme, Bouschor's former secretary, was one of those who tried to remove Payment. She wouldn't discuss that, but said she worked for Bouschor for 16 years and never saw any evidence of unethical behavior or wrongdoing. "He's a very bright man," she said. "He's been good for the tribe. Except for this internal fighting, our tribe is doing well." Some members say that they don't know where all the casino money goes and fear that their grandchildren will be saddled with debt. "The Greeks got all the money and we got the shaft," said Robert LaPoint, a tribal elder and board member. In 1999, the tribe agreed to pay its former Greektown partners Jim Papas and Ted Gatzaros about $265 million to leave the partnership because they could not get gaming licenses. The tribe should never have given the two men, who put up little capital, a 40-percent share of the casino, he said. As a board member, LaPoint said he often doesn't know about deals the tribe has made until they're already done. He said he read in the newspaper that the cost of the tribe's new permanent casino hotel in Detroit had grown to $450 million, when he had thought the cost was $350 million. He also found out about a casino the tribe once planned in Gaylord through the newspapers. Last summer, veteran tribal board member and former executive director Mike Lumsden was removed from the board, after Bouschor had already fired him. His offenses were said to have included election fraud, employee harassment and past domestic abuse. Testimony against him included hearsay and he was never criminally charged. Lumsden has said Bouschor targeted him because he disagreed with him about tribal finances and authority. Lumsden's father was the last chairman of the tribe before Bouschor. The removal, which is not appealable, caused a sharp rift. Other differences have potentially more serious consequences. Bouschor said that in January, he received two written letters demanding that he resign, or the writer would kill members of his family. The letters contained very specific information about where his family members lived, which most tribal members wouldn't know, he said. Tribe's political rift has statewide impact Tribe's political rift has statewide impact Tribe's political rift has statewide impact Tribe's political rift has statewide impact The FBI has not yet determined who wrote the letters, Bouschor said. Bouschor said opponents are misrepresenting him and what he has done for the tribe. Someday, he plans to step down -- just not yet, he said. "I don't consider myself a dictator," he said. "We're wasting energy with all this negativity. It's slowed us down. But if you look at other tribes, we're still far ahead." Contact TINA LAM at 313-223-4407 or lam@freepress.com.

We have been looking for No ke che waw no quay/ Julia Paundegaykawa who would have been born in the early 1800's and was married to Waw bo ge maw. By the estate notice we have, she died in about 1892 in Mescota, MI. Her children are listed as: Mary Williams, David Waw bo ge maw, Moses Waw bo ge maw, Mary Waw bo ge maw, Nancy Waw bo ge maw and Gab ash kun. Nancy Waw bo ge maw married my gg grandfather Edmund/ Penaysee Chatfield, Jan 24, 1874 in Nebising, Isabella Co., MI. Nancy was born Mar. 1854/9 in MI. When she married Edmund her last name was Hickey and also was referred to as Nancy Sajer. Could she have been married before Edmund at a very early age or was it just another name pulled out of the air? I would appreciate any information that might be out there in dissolving this wall.

HI Charles, Just curious about your Smith's in Ionia County. Where in Ionia County were they? My Smith line, of which I know very little at this point, could be found in Orleans Twp. around that time. They were originally from Allegany Co., NY and settled in and around Montcalm, Gratiot, and Ionia Counties. Thanks, Kim

Looking for Charmaine (Hebblin) Sharpe, Oregon. She was raised in Eckerman, Michigan. She is a half sister to the Lacoys, Greens, & Crawfords from Sault Ste. Marie. She is a cousin to the Cadreaus and me. If anyone of the cousins has heard from her, please have her contact me. Please. Anita Nelson anelson1@jamadots.com

The Alice Smith I have is a name on my great-grandmother's marriage license from Clare County, Michigan in 1873. She is not Nancy Alice Smith's mother. I am presuming that she might be a sister, or cousin. Nancy shows up in a white household with three siblings in Ionia County (1870 Census). At a time when whites did not name their first born child "Osceola" Alice Smith sticks out. I do not personally know any of the Smiths and all knowledge of the Smith's ended when my father died. The only information I have on Nancy Alice Smith is that she absconded from Osceola County in 1895 according to court documents. Hope this helps.

Seth Robinson is my great-grandfather and I have exactly no information on him. He married an woman by the name of Chloe Bedor (could be Bedard) from Quebec and they immigrated to Montcalm County before 1880. Robinson was supposedly of Scotch ancestry but there is no proof of this matter. Bedor was either a Metis or a full-blooded Native. I also have Smiths from Ionia County, but I have little information on them except Alice Smith's signature on a marriage license from 1873 from Clare County. The Smiths were Oneidas from New York state. Alice's name appears on the original rolls for the tribe-my employer.
