Oral family history maintains he was a descendant of Frances Slocum and a Miami Indian, but also half Cherokee. All of his descendants are in Indiana, but he reportedly died in Missouri, having been thrown from a horse. He died sometime after 1864, as that's when my husband's great grandmother was born. Any information would be appreciated.
