Ok, you guys, I've got a little tale that was told to me by my g-aunt. I'm wondering if maybe someone else has heard anything similar. "One of the Howdershell women was kidnapped along with another woman named Calger from a place called Fort Seybert, WVa. There was either 5 or 7 women kidnapped. The indians took them to Chilcothey(sp?), Ohio. The Calger woman and Howdershell woman escaped, came home. The Howdershell woman had a baby by the indian. She named him Henry Howdershell." This may be the same Henry Howdershell who was the father of my gg-grandmother, Mahala Josephine Howdershell b. abt 1858 in Pendleton Co. Her mother was Elizabeth DERM. (Of course this info was given to me and I have yet to prove it.) I believe the indians my aunt spoke of were Seneca. Any ideas? Anyone? Just the tiniest clue would be much appreciated. Thanks, Michele, VA _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/
