Some say his father was Paxinosa, ‘Hard Striker’ (not the father of Tecumseh as some think in error, but a well-known Pennsylvania Shawnee chief). Some of his children that have been mentioned are Oceano, Elinipso (Elinipisco, Elinispisco Nipseko), Aracroma (The Aracroma legend, married Boiling Baker), Greenbrier (name from the Greenbrier area of the Kanawha River?), Bluesky, Wynepuechiska (Peter), Wissecapoway, Piaserka (The Wolf). Other names mentioned are Mary, Elizabeth, Esther, Peter, Nern-Pe-Nes-Quah. Keigh-taugh-quah. Elizabeth See was a white captive Cornstalk married prior to her repatriation. Cornstalk is said to have been born in western Pennsylvania at least by 1720, but some say 1708 or 1710, and moved with his family when he was about 10 to Ohio.”

- Ancestry tree (2020) Mary Elizabeth Hawkins, wife of William Charles Hawkins, Jr.. Family legend has her parents were Shawnee Chief Hokolesqua "Cornstalk" and Helizikinopo "Sister of Big Snake". There is no proof. Her name would have been Kisekwi-Waskwi, "Blue Sky". She took the name Mary when she married. .. There is no accounting for the maiden name of "Littlebury". Her 3rd great grandchildren do not have 1.5% native American DNA, which they should have if it were true. This legend is therefore is not true.

- FamilySearch (2020). LifeSketch. "It is always been said that Charity was the daughter of Bluesky, daughter of Shawnee Chief Cornstalk, but most places have her listed as the daughter of Mary "Polly" Fry, but Charity's father had an affair with Bluesky and after Bluesky died at an early age, he brought Charity home and his wife Mary took her in and raised her as her own. The tales from my side of the family was that her darkened skin was not like the rest of the children and when someone said anything, Mary always told them that she was hers."

Family tradition has long held that Parker Adkins, while married to his wife Mary, had two children (Charity and Littleberry) by a daughter of Shawnee Chief Cornstalk, named Bluesky.
