    1. [NISHNAWBE] Rix Robinson info
    2. Recently someone from Emmet County in Michigan wrote that she hasn't seen any reference for Rix Robinson her ancestor, at this site. Well, I have mentioned him before because he is also my dad's direct descendant & my dad's mother's maiden name was Edna Pearl Robinson. My dad was contacted a few years back by another cousin... Mark VonDestinon, who is a professor at Cochise College in AZ & he has a website about Rix. All one has to do is type Rix Robinson in your search engine. I went there for all of you who don't have a "search engine" & got this web address: r2d2.cochise.cc.az.us/vondestinon/family/rix.htm ............I have told this site about the Rix Robinson family reunion every August in Ada & I have met other cousins & came up with some great history tidbits. My dad's mother, Edna, had mom Sarah, whose mom was Lydia, whose mom was QuisMoQua & whose grandfather was Chief Blackbird. I would like to know more about Cross Village & Indian names of QuisMoQua's grandparents etc. So, if there is any relatives out there that know anything..... My dad has a surveyor friend that recently found just where his grandfather had much acerage in Montague, Michigan. We were looking for the exact location of his grandfather's house which my 91 yr old dad remembers & found it on one of the maps. My dad's grandfather and his brother were fisherman & ferry boat operators on the White Lake Channel, Montague side (where my dad was born in 1912) & yet the stone marker there lists other men that were there AFTER my dad's people.... this is at a little park they made on the Montague side overlooking the White Lake Channel & the beautiful light house.... Also, there were no records of my dad's grandmother Sarah Robinson wife of Mac (Daniel) Robinson ever being laid in the Mouth cemetery! She was Ottawa Indian. ..... I take my email name Sebequay from Rix's second wife (named by whites the name Nancy which she hated).... Sebequay means Riverwoman. I have some experience on the river & used to call myself that name when going down the river. There is a corner in the Ada Museum outside Grand Rapids.... devoted to Rix & Sebequay.
