However, I have talked to several of my kin who have arrowhead collections, one found a few tomahawks. One had a basement lined with cabinets full of Indian relics.<br />I also found out that I am related to John Augustus Sutter who exploited most of his California Indians to build his small empire from 1830-50. <br />He also had trusted Indians and Kanakas (Hawaiians)in positions of responsibility. And Hawaiian "consorts" though his wife was back home in Pennsylvania. There were three Suter brothers who came over from Europe, he changed his name to Sutter, one brother spelled it Suiter and another Suter.. the latter two brothers ending up in southern Indiana. A descendant of a Suiter confirmed the childhood rumor.<br /> <br />but it seems you have helped establish that johnathan and i are related so good job. i'm still trying to find how my great grandmother julia harrison on my dad's side was a first cousin to mark twain and we used to have a letter from him to her that disappeared and her brother jim harrison was a good friend of the real tom sawyer,...so we keep searching for the connections. hope to retire soon. then we will be heading up north<br />spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-87223823535596235082014-02-09T22:38:51.287-08:002014-02-09T22:38:51.287-08:00my great aunt sarah kauble was in cahto/laytonvill...my great aunt sarah kauble was in cahto/laytonville until her parents died in 1872. then she moved to covelo and soon married milo patton. milo moved to alderpoint to run a ranch there for george white. in mendo remembered vol 2, there is an edith patton who is the grandaughter of johnathan g. wilson, one of the earliest settlers of laytonville/cahto. her father was william wilson and mother suzanne case wilson. william was one of 8 kids. she goes on to say that "when we lived at blue rock, we used to ride about 30 miles to a dance horseback. we went in a group. we'd go down to spyrock down on the river...a man named walker played the violin. of course, in laytonville, they had different music, but in the country, way out there, they had old music. they would take their food and at midnight eat their food. and dance all night until morning."<br />i guess johnathan is another one of my shirtail cousins. i really love the dancing all night to fiddle music by light of the moon in the shadow of spyrock.spyrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685726716755909658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-23860703013194461732014-02-09T15:51:07.840-08:002014-02-09T15:51:07.840-08:00ps.
