To any of the members who live in Michigan. I am looking for information on Chief Casheosha. He was a prominent chief around the Lac Vieux Desert area. He was one of the signers on the 1842 treaty with the Chippewas. He also was written about in Thomas Cram's survey report in 1840. He also met with another surveyor by the name of Burt in 1842 at zero mile post. His name is spelled Casheosha; Kasheosha; Kesheosha; I saw an unverified report which says his baptismal name was John Edwards; That he had a young wife named Pentoga. I know she is the one that Pentoga Park is named after. Her husband was Chief John Edwards from Iron County. If anyone has any information or advice as where to go to get the information I would appreciate it.
There is a reference to Chief Ca-sha-o-sha in Chippewa Village by W.V. Kinietz (Cranbrook Institute of Science, Bloomfield Hills, MI, 1947) on pp.19-20. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lorrie" <ljmadden55@charter.net> To: <NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:21 PM Subject: [NISHNAWBE] RE: Michigan Ancestors. > To any of the members who live in Michigan.
