Origins

From https://www.geni.com/discussions/179496?msg=1212982

the only thing known about the family of Chief Black Fox is that Dragging Canoe was his "uncle". No parents, no siblings, no wife, no children known.


According to family legends, Chief Black Fox took his last annuity at Creek Path in 1810 and disappeared into Ohio, where he assumed the name Henry White. White may actually have been a translation of the Hebrew surname Lebon, which was Henry Cooper's middle name. Thus Isaac Cooper and Nancy Black Fox may have been cousins.
