Chief Sachem Straight Tail Caniachkoo - Family Connections

Thanks, Erica.

Oh Hi, Debbie. I collected info on my "Step-mother" well-known solid ancestors to my Step-Mother's records. On Familysearch, 5-6 generations up above my Stepmom, has already data on all the platforms. All the same valid info. So, I went up the tree and wanted the same info on Geni that was on all the other platforms. I have written to another Granddaughter of that tribe and she has a book of her ancestors. Seems like everybody is with the same info. Not only that, I had spoken to the Chief of the Narragansett tribe in Rhode Island and he was aware of the info that was online. So, I was happy to add my stepmom's exact info from the other platforms to Geni. I am not an expert Genalogist. I just want all platforms after a number of years with info out there to be the same. I don't know how to copy let's say Familysearch docs to Geni. With every new profile, I leave the website where I got the info with the Info in the profile. Happy Holidays to Both of you. One last thing, If there is a profile with zero info, I try not to log that one in. If the other platforms have info attached to their profile, I feel comfortable logging it on Geni. Also, this tribe is famous and all data should have been checked out by now. Besides, from my stepmother to this Chief is very clear and we know that my stepmom's info is correct up to a certain range of 5-7 Great grandparent surnames. She is 71 years of age and knows up to a point her ancestor's surname. She is very aware she is Cherokee but had no knowledge of the Narragansett tribe connections. Her info is very accurate, I am not sure what all platforms reports. I never investigated that stuff. It was already there.

Thank you so much for sharing that additional info, 6000000000783436235 !

Too often the reason many sites show the same info is that they have copied from each other but not given any sources or details. I really appreciate knowing the history of the info from your step-mother and the tribal contacts made with regard to this lineage. I feel much more confident now that what is on Geni is correct rather than the conflicting info I'd seen on Ancestry. Those would be great details to add into the profile section on this profile.

Again, thank you so much. I hope you and yours have a blessed holiday season and wonderful New Year.

Debbie

To Cousin Erica Howton. I made some phone calls to Narragansett but made a mistake by calling to the City of Narragansett instead of the Reservation of the Narragansett in Rhode Island. They are at the Parks and Recreation dept. I thought it was onsite on the Reservation. In the end, they have given me a gal who is an expert on the Tribe's History. She is a Narragansett Member. While we were speaking, she mentioned the Massacre of the Narragansett Tribe, saying they united with the Montauk. She stated it without me influencing her. At any rate, I will speak to the Lady on behalf of the Tribe. (Expert of the Narragansett Tribe’s History-Bella Noka 1-401-364-1100).

I also trying to get the Manager of John Dibert the son, to give me his take as to why they can assume to go up to Mary Sewatha Straight Tail.
Female
about 1660 – 1759. One thing that FamilySearch has is a Doc of the Census of John Dibert of 1790 in Penn State. I will log all my info from my Word File and leave it here. Problem being is on Wikitree has John De Bart, son of John De Bart
Born 1710-1730 [location unknown]. FamilySearch has it John Dibert 1710-1790 Penn State. All of these folks are being born and dying at Penn State.

ANCESTORS ancestors
Son of John Dibert and Mary Seaworth (Chartier) Dibert
Brother of Thomas Dibert, David De Bart, Charles Christopher Dibert, George Dibert, Wilhelm De Bart, and Michael De Bart

Here is my gathered info.

Biography
John came to America with his parents on "Ye First Ship" in 1699. John’s wife Mary Seaworth, was the daughter of Martin Chartier (son of Rene Chartier and Madalene Ranger) and his Indian wife Sewatha. Martin Chartier had come to American with Rene Robert La Salle around 1675. He supposedly followed La Salle throughout several expeditions, but ended up staying with the Shawnee and marrying Sewatha. They had at least four children (that have been documented): Mary Seaworth (some have her Indian name as Sewatha Straight Tail) who married John Dibert, Jacqueline Chartier, and Pierre Chartier who was a noted Indian trader and interpreter.

John and his wife Mary traveled up Indian Paths to what is now known as the Dutch Corner area of Bedford County, PA (then it was Indian land and was illegal for non-Indians to settle on), and built their home, known as “Fort Wingwan” (also known as Fort Wingam, Wingawn and other variations) in 1710. They had twelve children between 1710 and 1732. However, in 1732, the Diberts were attacked and John, Mary and seven of their children were killed. A daughter who was about 16 years old led the other surviving children, including Charles Christopher, back to Virginia to family that they had there (one reference says that she led them to Jamestown to where an Uncle lived, another reference says that she led them to family near Manakintown, Virginia - a 250 mile wilderness trek!).

Because of the Holidays, I wasn't able as of yet, to reach any of the Main Indian Reservation numbers to reach the Expert on the Tribe's History. As soon as we get into the New Year, I will try to reach this lady again.
