  • Notes 
    • What we know about the man that Running Deer married we get from Pitch Pine Tales, by cousin Howard R Driggs. He quotes from (probably) Sally Hulet, whose daughter Emeline Whiting married Frederick Walter Cox. Family history says that Sally Hulet visited her ggmothers village along the Hudson River in NY, and she would have known about 'Charles" but I cannot find any written information about that.
      Pitch Pine Tales says that her husband built a log cabin, rather than a wigwam of bent poles and bark that the Natives lived in. The story does not entirely agree with our genealogy dates and places, but it is all we have.
      O C Day's information says his name was probably Charles, which is why I put it in quotes. "Squawman" is not a name, but a term for a white man that cohabited with an Indigenous woman. All dates are guesses until we get to Tryphena, and I have not found the source of O C Days information about her.
      Please note that the Millennium File and the Family Data Collection on Ancestry are not sources, but just collections of user submitted genealogy.
