Do we have any Indian or F & I War experts? I have a tale of Indian blood in my family tree and I know that others with roots in Hardy County do too. My family came to Hardy from Pennsylvania. I do not know the name of the person so...... I am interested in ANY primary proof of the mixing of a white and an Indian ANYWHERE in Pennsylvania, New York or Maryland EAST OF an imaginary north-south line that would run from Hagerstown MD to Rochester NY. The time period would be before 1760. The closer to the Lancaster - Easton region of Pennsylvania the better. As I evaluate the F & I War captives lists and those with apparent mixed blood it might be helpful. Other possible sources might be Moravian or other mission records, William Johnson's papers (which I don't have acess to) traders journals, etc. Any help appreciated Best regards, David Armstrong, Elkins, WV

there is a trapper's journal by osborne russell that am finishing. it is considered objective which is good as it sticks to facts. granted there were still some errors primarily in distances but it is difficult to read as each page just goes on and on with no breaks for paragraphs and sentences, etc. many tribes are mentioned, was surprised to see delawares all the way out in wyoming, oregon,etc.! read a good book on an indian captive taken from pennsylvania (will check for accuracy) called the red heart. name is still common in pa. where she and her family were from. oh, name is slocumm. very good account of captivity and how whites preferred to often stay with their captors. think her name was frances? family searched for her for years and years and eventually gave her land to remain on so she would not be removed with indians. you may want to consider trying to read some of wm. penn's writings. books previously mentioned also have captive lists. s >From: "David Armstrong" <heraldry@meer.net> >Reply-To: wvhardy@rootsweb.com >To: <wvhardy@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [WVHARDY] Indian blood >Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 18:30:04 -0400 > >Do we have any Indian or F & I War experts? > >I have a tale of Indian blood in my family tree and I know that others with >roots in Hardy County do too.
