Maggie Desjardins

Mrs. Maggie Desjardins is # 1139 on the 1907 Wooster Roll. She is the daughter of Mrs. Mary McCloud (nee Tobie) # 1129. Her traditional name is recorded as "Quashemego" meaning "Discourager". This unusual traditional name requires scrutiny and comment by those with expertise in the nuances of the Anishinaabemowin language and Potawatomi culture. Maggie's husband is not recorded on the roll. In 1907 she had no children. She was living at Cape Croker Reservation where she held full rights in Canada.
