He probably had multiple wives but we may have duplicates to resolve.

Can profile managers approach this from Children UP? That may be the best way - work on sources for your line.

My thanks for the help

Coo Coo Chee Mohawk Woman is clearly different thank goodness

Methotasa has parents of Loyparkoweh Opessa Straight Tail, Straight-Tail & Nancy Kakawatchekee Opessa Straight Tail

Mary Ice has parents of Oshashqua Straight Tail & Mary Margaret Ice

Marguerite Madeline Mathoataswke Eyck has a father Chief Puckeshinwa "Young Eagle" Straight Tail

hahahahahahaha NO. This files states:

Chief Opessa Straight Tail 1664/75 - 1752/60
m. Margaret (Bnu) 1665/70 - ca. 1710
SON: Chief Puckeshinwa “Young Eagle” Straight Tail 1735 - 1774
m. Marguerite Madeline Mathoataswke Eyck
** So she can NOT also be his daughter
m. Mary Methotashe AND Methoataaske, which I think are the same
m. CooCoo Chee - a Mohawk Woman

Mary Methotashe would NOT have the same name Young Eagle as her husband and Mary Ice wasn't even in the list.

SEE my post somewhere in this file about how to properly address Indian names. I posted it today under Anna Elizabeth Chartier and Straight Tail Meaurroway Opessa OR Chief Opessa Straight Tail.

This whole file of Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket. Straight Tail's and Cornstalk's is in severe need of cleaning up. Also, almost no one is citing sources! I've also seen the same "Notes" posted under numerous names which contain information about everyone BUT the name it's under.

Not to mention that the same children's names are listed under multiple wives !

Your help is more than welcome. I can lock them when they’re correct, but need the assistance to make them so. Feel free to edit.

Can you cite references (that are not Shawnee Heritage) for Methoataaske & Tecumopese Menewaulaakoosee, Shawnee Indian

Tribal affiliation should go in the “ethnicity” field, not the name field.
