Sorry Emery A.Iliff, there is no research envolved on my part just a misplaced brain as I read the Hooper notes I did not have my comprehension in gear as I had heard previously from "old" people in the Eastport area that they thought his village was Potawatami and the one in Eastport, Old Antrim and Norwood were Ottawa. But, I guess they were wrong and I was wrong not to pick up on Hooper's notes. Mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Emery A.
