Esther "Cutewah" (Cornstalk) Sowards - Parents

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carlisle-76 calls her Esther Carlisle, no parents.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Shawnee-45 shows his Cornstalks family as:

There is no source for the name of a wife/wives.

Hokolesqua had two documented siblings, a brother called Silver Heels, and a sister, Nonhelema, both of whom were Shawnee leaders. [2]

Hokolesqua had at least two sons, Cutemwha (The Wolf) and Elinipsico who died with his father at Point Pleasant. [2]

Wissecapoway, aka Captain Morgan, was a Shawnee held captive by Lord Dunmore during 1775 in Williamsburg, VA. He is also said to be a son of Cornstalk, the Shawnee Chief. [6] Dunmore later released him. Nothing more is known about him.

A unnamed daughter was mentioned in the pension application of a Henry Aleshite who stated he was at Point Pleasant when Cornstalk and a white man who was married to Cornstalk's daughter were murdered. Her name is not given, nor is the name of the 'white man

@ Esther "Cutewah" (Cornstalk) Sowards
thanks for the info, for me the key word is "presume", and I am not knowledgeable with Geni app or researching, and verifying; sort of take the word of others; my DNA didn't give me even a hint towards this line of Indian thinking.

Thanks Ms. Howton for the information. I have proven to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants from myself back to David and Rachel Doughty so they accepted my proof that Thomas Doute, Sr and Thomas Dowty, Jr. were my 2nd & 3rd Great Grandfathers. I have birth certificates, death certificates, Marriage documents, photos of them at the Moreland, OH cemetery that I took when I was there. My DNA didn't show any Native American blood but I'm also only 1/64th if Ether Cutewah Cornstalk is really my fifth Great Grandmother so I guess it doesn't show up that far down the line. I believable I saw somewhere that Esther Carlisle was Esther Cornstalk's daughter.

I had a male Doty first cousin send his DNA to Family Tree DNA and he matched perfectly with two men who were allowed into the Society with documentation of their relationship to Edward Doty of the Mayflower, so I'm confident I descended from Edward Doty but I can't prove that Capt. Daniel Doty (03/09/1701-02 - 1785) is the father of my 4th Great Grandfather David Doughty (08/12/1742 - 08/13/1824)

Thanks again to all who answered.

I found a grave stone at a Butler-Morgan Cemetery that has and Esther Cornstalk Sowards engraved in it to mark where they are buried. I think this proves Esther was a Cornstalk.

This is the location of the Butler-Morgan Cemetery I found on the internet:

"Nestled in a remote area of Wayne County lies a small plot of local history: the Butler
Morgan Cemetery. For many years no one knew of its existence."

It also has this to say about Esther Cornstalk Sowards:

"There are also three revolutionary war veterans buried there: Isaac Munson, James Morgan
and Thomas Sowards," Miller said.

"Sowards married Esther Cornstalk, the daughter of a Native American chief and the
niece of Tecumseh of the Shawnee nation. According to
www.appalachianaristocracy.com, the couple had 10 children."

The historical society dug up many historical tidbits through a lot of sleuthing from books
and from descendants. Miller said, "It's an extremely historic quarter of an acre."

I went to the Appalachian Aristocracy site (www.appalachianaristocracy.com) and put Esther's name in the search engine and came up with a story about Esther and her family.

If you go to this link it will take you to that page.

If there's a way to post photos in these messages I don't know how to do it or I would post the gravestone showing Esther Cornstalk Sowards 1751-1821 along with several Morgans and Butlers.

Here is some of the information I copied from that page:

"As the daughter of Chief Cornstalk and niece of Tecumseh of the Shawnee nation, most
probably this connection to the Greater Huron Nations and the Algonquin Indian tribes
saved the family and helped them to return Virginia by 1775 to 1777. Thomas Soward was
familiar with the Turkey Cove area in the Powell Valley, in what is now Scott County VA, as
Thomas Berry, William McGaughy, and he went there to hunt buffalo in 1770 or 1771.

If Esther Cornstalk Sowards (as shown on the tombstone) is the daughter of Tecumseh, then why the name Cornstalk?

Joe Morgan -

Erica, how can I send you a photo of the stone with Esther's name engraved on it in the Butler-Morgan Cemetery, Wayne County, Ohio?

I know how to upload images to profiles. I was wanting to know if there's a way to put images in these messages to each other.

I can post that stone on Esther's profile and let you know when I've done it and you can see it then.
