Grace Hooper, while a time parameter is not given in the book, was a correspondent with the Central Lake Torch and walked the entire Antrim area in Michigan, North of Traverse City to Charlevoix and while doing this work, she embarked on a personal project to record the histories and experiences of every person living or working in the area. It is interesting that Kewadin escaped the forced removal in 1840 of the Potawatomies from Michigan to "beyond the Mississippi" by the US Army commanded by General Brady. Page 57 notes a treaty of 1821 with the Potawatomy and a second of 1826 and finally a third of 1836 with the Ottawa and Chippewa. Is this the reason? Kewadin was now an Ottawa/Chippewa? Scholars where are! you? Hope the clues provided in the text will be aid someone’s research. ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
