I don't have the answer, but I'd be interested in hearing any theories. We have a Martha Lodeski Simmons, spelled differently but sounds much the same. I'd thought that she was a widow when she homesteaded, that Lodeski was her maiden name and Simmons the name of her first husband. Then I found out that her mother's name was Amanda Simmons. Talked with my mother about it and she thinks that Lodeski was a family name used as a middle name. If this line had Indian blood, we don't know about it. At any rate, the name Lodeski was certainly important to her, because she went by the nickname Dosky. Sharon McAllister 73372.1745@compuserve.com
