Looking for father of Hononegah, who married Stephen Mack. Stephen founded Macktown, which is now a forest preserve adjacent to Rockton, Winnebago County, Illinois. Their house is a museum. The High School in Rockton is Hononegah High School and the Middle School is Stephen Mack Middle School. There is some question whether Hononegah was Potawatomie or Winnebago. Many works say Potawatomie, but in his affidavits to obtain "mixed-blood" money from the government, Stephen states that her father was named Blacksmith, and resided at or near the four lakes. He was not sure if Blacksmith was half or full blood Winnebago, but knew that he was at least half. According to Stephen, Hononegah had one sister and three uncles living near Prairie du Chien. The uncles names are Co-no-saip kah (or Little Black), Es tche e she sheek, and Ho ro hon kak. The sisters name was We hun see gah. Another affidavit says her mothers name was Inoquer, a full blood Winnebago woman. Conflicting stories say her father was Chief Gah, Little Elk, or Shabonna. Based on the affidavits of Stephen mack, I tend to discount these names. The affidavits mentioned above are in the book "Neither White Men Nor Indians" by Linda Waggoner. If anyone wants more information on this book please contact me privately. This is one of my brick walls, and any information or leads are very welcome. Thanks Curt (Curtis Benoit Londroche)
