1	She was a Native American (Montauk) and daughter of Chief or Sachem, Wyandance. From John Handspicker's Website: Catoneras (?) (F) b. circa 1603 Catoneras (?) was naturalized; 'Indian Princess.' Her married name was Van Texel. She The claim is that Catoneras/Cateronas was likely an Indian Princess, but there are several incongruities which disallow her being Wyandanch's daughter. First, the only daughter who is shown to be born to Wyandanch is Quashawam, and she 'ruled' over the Montauks after her father's death, and also over the Shinnecocks. This is possibly the 'Heather Flower' I've seen reference to in my research. The tribe that Catoneras/Cateronas probably belonged to was the Matinecock, a sub-tribe of the Metoac. This would explain her descendents (van Tassels) claiming rights to the lands which they tried to get, later, after her death. These lands had once belonged to Metoac tribes, and were apparently taken from them by Wyandanch, so the last 'indian' holder of the lands was Wyandanch. This may have been what lead earlier researchers to make claims that Catoneras/Cateronas was a daughter of Wyandanch..... who knows? The Matinecock inhabited Flushing, North Hempstead, the northern part of Oyster Bay and Huntingdon, and the western part of Smithtown, while the Montauk were mainly in the Southampton township. In fact, in a petition dated 1705, it states agreement to the fact that Catoneras lands had been seized.....'...his mother Catoneras a native Indian of the Island of Nassauw who in her life time was Seized of a certain Tract or parcell of land lying and being on the Island aforesaid, now in the County of Suffolk neer the Town of Huntingdon called by the natives Anendeiack in English Eader Neck Beach and so allong the Sound four miles or thereabouts untile the fresh Pond called by the natives Assawanama where a Creeck runns into the Sound and from the Sound running into the woods six miles....' This certainly describes land most likely once occupied by the Matinecock, and seized by Wyandanch. In even earlier research the following was quoted '... married an Indian girl named Catoneras, the daughter of the Sachem or chief of a tribe of Indians which then lived on, and claimed ownership to that portion of Long Island, situated along the north shore, or sound, about Eaton's Neck in Suffolk County. (1951) This same author, Daniel van Tassel had stated it this way, in 1941: '...the daughter of the sachem or Chief Wyandance, of the Montauk Tribe, who then lived on, and claimed ownership to that portion of Long Island, situated along the north shore or Sound about Eaton's Neck in Suffolk County.' So, it seems that even Daniel had reason to doubt the actual paternal connection to Wyandanch. JWH (9 May 1999) Input from Stan Hodges (Feb-2003): All of the Sachems of Long Island were somewhat related through Pequot ancestry. Wyandanch's brothers ruled some of the tribes of Long Island. One brother was the Grand Sachem before him according to some sources, and was head chief of the Matinecock. Their ancestry is somewhat outlined in the lineage of Uncas, that was listed in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register in July of 1856. According to some sources Wyandanch was the Grandson of Sassacus (The Father-in-law of Uncas). Wyandanch's Mother was a supposed daughter of Sassacus. If this is the case, then all of Wyandanch's Brothers where also of this Pequot dynasty that decended from the great Tama-quawshad. If this is the case then Catoneras is also most likely descended from this same royal lineage. She would have been closely related to Wyandanch through his brother or other relationships. Wyandanch, 'The Wise Speaker,' assumed leadership of the Montauks after the death of his brother Pogattacut in 1653 at his home village on the eastern end of Long Island, New York. He was the last grand sachem of the Montauk Confederacy. There were five or six of these brothers that were scattered as sachems of the various groups on Long Island. All of them were of the royal blood line of Tama-quawshad. To date, tracking down the names of these brothers has been an unproductive effort. Pogattacut was possibly the father of Catoneras, if not Wyandanch. After all the smallpox epidemics much of the land was wide open and Wyandanch may have just ASSUMED ownership. This is not very clear, either. Tama-quawshad existed nearly four or five generations before contact with the whites. He used his royal blood lineage which he established to help consolidate and controll other tribes like the those on Long Island which he had conquered or made political alliances with, much in the same way as the royal houses of Europe. Some Wyandanch info that may help make a point: Wyandanch - Birth: ABT. 1615 in Mohawk Nation - Death: 1659 in New Amsterdam (New York) Wife: Wuchikittawbut - Birth: ABT. 1619 in Mohawk Nation - Death: 1663 in New Amsterdam (New York) Married: ABT. 1640 Children: Weoncombone b: ABT. 1641 Heather FLOWER b: ABT. 1643 (once thought to be Catoneras) IF above dates ARE correct, chances are better that IF Catoneras was Montauk, and IF, she was a SISTER to Wyandanch, even an older sister, as she was born about 1603 and already married in 1624. Even if some other records list Wyandanch as born 'around 1600', that's still not early enough for him to have been the father of Catoneras/Cateronas. Some sources/researchers, listing her as Cateronas, claim a birth year of 1626, which would be before her son was born. Find THAT hard to believe. This was likely done to 'fit her' into the existing known date structure of the WRONG family. Using input from later research, done by Robert VanTassel and another descendant of Catoneras, Donna, there is reason to believe a Matinecock connection is correct, and that an ancestry close to the one below is most likely: Current theories (Jan-2004) better support the following ancestry for Catoneras: Catoneras was daughter of Asharoken (Asharoken had a sibling named Opposum) Asharoken was son of Tackapausha (seen as Tackapusha) Tackapusha was son of Meehowdt. This is the line of her ancestry in the Matinecock people. She was born circa 1603 at Eaton's Neck, Suffolk County, New York, USA. She was the daughter of Possibly the Sachem (Chief) of the Matinecook of Long Island and ? (?). Catoneras (?) married Cornelius Jan (Jensen) Van Texel, son of Jan Van Texel and (wife Of) Van Texel, in 1624 at New York, USA. Child of Catoneras (?) and Cornelius Jan (Jensen) Van Texel Jan Cornelis (Cornelius) Van Tassel+ b. 1625, d. 1704	Catoneras

4	Permelia's name is spelled in various ways: Permilia, Pamelia, Pernelia, Pemilia, Pernnia, etc. It's a difficult name to research. In Mary C. Denning's obituary, it was stated that Mary's family came to Indian Springs, Martin County, Indiana when she was 12 years old. That means that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana in about 1862. Permelia lists in the 1880 census that her father was born in Maryland and her mother was born in Ohio. Delorma said that her Mom used to go by a big tree in the old cemetery and lay a flower by a rock. There was no marker. She said this is my baby sister. Then she would walk back toward the back. This area is where Permelia, George, and James are buried.	Permelia ABEL

33	From the Salem Democrat, Wed 18 Dec 1878: Elizabeth Baptiste DePauw died at the residence of her daughter, Malinda F. Keys on the night of Dec. 13th 1878. Mrs. Elizabeth DePauw, widow of Gen. John DePauw, aged nin-two years, ten months and 17 days. Thus has passed from our midst the oldest resident of our town, and perhaps the oldest resident of the county. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Baptiste, and she was born in Licoln County, Kentucky, January 26th, 1786. She married John DePauw in the same county, July 11th, 1895. After her marriage, they located in Casey County, Kentucky, where they resided until the winter of 1808-9, when the allurements of the Northwest Territory induced them to cross the Ohio River and settle in what is now Washington County, and atthat time Harrison County. It was in January, 1809, that they arrived at what is now the farm of Henry Schlagel, just south east of Salem, across the creek, and which for long years was known as the Hattabough farm. Here they erected the usual frontier cabin and placed their little goods therein. At that time not a single settler was nearer than Rice's slick, unless it was Andrew Pitts. Salem was a dense forest. They resided at their humble cabin until after Washington County was laid out, and the county seat located at Salem. Salem was laid out in 1814, and Gen. John DePauw was appointed agent by the Territorial legislature to lay off the town into lots and sell them. He purchased a whole block on west hill, and there erected a residence, being the first building on that side of the creek for a family residence. Here the family lived until 1838, when General DePauw died and was buried from that house with Masonic honors. At this same place his widow died, having survived him forty years and eleven months. Ten children were born to them, two of whom only survive: Washington C. DePauw and Mrs. Malinda F. Keys. The others passed on before the mother to the other shore and the bright beyond. Mrs. DePauw was an exemplary woman in all the walks of life. But few are left who knew her sixty-five years. Mrs. John McMahan, John W. Reyman, Mrs. Elias Davis and perhaps two or three more knew her in those days, and all with one accord speak of her many virtues and her upright and Christian life. Those who are now being called old recollect her well fifty years ago, when she was always the same kind and affectionate person she was from the time she became a resident of this section of country. Mrs. DePauw became converted to Christianity and untied witht the Baptist Church in Lincoln Couny, Kentucky in 1806 or 1807. In May 1814 she united with the Sharon Baptist Church and was dismissed by letter from that church in June 1820. In 1822 she went into the organization of Mill Creek Baptist Church. In January, 1829, she went into the organization of the Salem Baptist Church, where she ramined a member until 1866 at which time she removed to New Albany to live with her son Washington C. DePauw. But she did not like city life and preferred the old home, where for more than sixty years she had passed her life. While in New Albany she bacame a member of Bank Street Baptist Church, and in June 1876 she returned her membership to Salem Baptist Church of which she was a member at the time of her death. As a church member she lived an exemplary life and died in full confidence in her Lord and master. Seldom, if ever, do we read of a person being a member of church for more than seventy years, the age allotted to man by the psalmist. Hers was a remarkable life. Her funeral took place from the Baptist Church Monday afternoon. What events have transpired since her birth? The constitution of the Union adopted the Floridas, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Arkansas, Missouri, and several territories have been added to the Union. She has seen the rise and fall of the great Napoleon, and of the third Napoleon; seen the second war of Independence fought and gained; seen her country pass through a terrible revolution, and quiet and peace restored, and last, but not least, has seen this whole country brought under the influence of the Christian religion.

35	Children info came from William Long at RootsWeb. Have not researched this yet. 1880 census finds John and Elizabeth living in Brown Twn., Martin, Indiana with children James, Mary, John, and William. John is listed as a laborer.	Elizabeth Malthace BARR
36	I finally found George's family in the 1860 census. He is living in German Township, Harrison Co., Ohio with wife Permelia, and his children: Mary C. (12), James (10), Elizabeth (8), Gustavus (4), Tabitha (1). Tabitha's name is wrongly spelled as Urbitha, and the last name is written as Bear for the whole family! In Mary C. Denning's obituary, it was stated that Mary's family came to Indian Springs, Martin County, Indiana when she was 12 years old. That means that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana in about 1862. Some researchers say he was born in Ohio or Germany. Death record at the Pondera Couty Courthouse lists Anthia's father's name as Geo. L. Bar with birthplace as Germany. Lena Barr Stephens listed in the 1910 census that her father's birthplace was Virginia. I also read on Rootsweb an account where one of the Dustin relatives thought the Barr name may have originally been Tarr. In 1870 living in Mitcheltree Twn (Trinity Springs), Martin Co., Indiana with wife Permelia, and the following children: Mary C., James M., Elizabeth N., Gus ?, Tabitha A., Jantha ?, Marlena, and Margaret (Georgia P.). Three doors down is Robert Denning family. James Irving Denning would marry Mary Catherine Barr. In 1880 George was living in Mitcheltree Twn., Martin Co., Indiana with wife Permelia and daughters Malena E., Tabith, and Georgia P. In this census he lists that both of his parents were born in Pennsylvania. George and Permelia were buried next to James. All three share one upright stone. There are two smaller stones lined up next to it with a space between the two smaller. One stone says mother and the other read JMB. It's assumed that George is in the space between them. Delorma said that her Mom used to go by a big tree in the old cemetery and lay a flower by a rock. There was no marker. She said this is my baby sister. Then she would walk back toward the back. This area is where Permelia, George, and James are buried. A lot of the information on the Barr family came from Missy Owens. She states her sources as follows: Martin County Census Records (1870, 1880, 1900) Choctaw County, Oklahoma, Census Records (1910, 1930) Martin County Death Records Martin and Hancock County Marriage Records and Returns Martin County Cemetery Inscription Books Martin County Obituaries Choctaw County, Oklahoma, Obituaries Pondera County, Montana, Death Records Frances Marion Freeman's Family Bible William Long (Huff/Denning Family Information) Jerry Cox (Huff/Denning Family Information) Notes: Mary's obit. states that she and James had no children. There was a foster son named H.T. Freeman who lived with them. H.T. is Harvey T. Freeman, brother to Frances Marion Freeman who later marries Mary's sister Tabitha Barr. J Mary came with her family to Indiana when she was around 12 years old. "L" middle initial might be Lankerd.	George L. BARR
37	Not sure if Georgia was born in Ohio and Indiana. The family may have moved to Indiana anywhere from 1860 to 1867. Note from Missy: Georgia's only mention in the family Bible is with her married name of Martin in the note with Lena in reference to age order of the children. A marriage record in Hancock county for Georgia P. Martin, daughter of George and Pernnia Abel, born June 2, 1867, marrying Henry Hunter August 7, 1920. Because the similarities are too close to ignore, we're assuming that this is the youngest daughter of George Barr and Permelia Abel. It's very eerie if it's not her. Georgia is listed as Margaret P.on the 1870 census for Martin County (Peg is a nickname for Margaret. Maybe that's where the P. in Georgia P. came from). More than likely Georgia and Margaret are the same person. NEW NOTE: Found picture of Georgia and Henry Hunter in family photos. In the 1870 Census Margaret P. Barr was in Mitchelltree Twn., Martin County, Indiana with her family. Peg is a nickname for Margaret. In 1880 Georgia P. was in Mitchelltree, Martin County, Indiana with her family. During 1900 Census Georgia, her husband Thomas and son Charles E are living in Alabama! That is where Charles was born (see 1910 census). I found them in Looney Tavern, Winston, Alabama. The census correctly lists Charlie's birth as Dec 1898, but Georgia's is listed as Feb 1862. It looks like it had been penciled over & corrected as 1867, but the transcribers kept it at 1862. The 1910 census of the same family lists her birth year as 1867 though. The years of marriage are 8. In this census Georgia's birthplace is listed as Indiana and her parents are listed as from Germany. In the 1910 census she lists that they are from Ohio. The husband's parents really change too. In this census he lists his parents birthplace as Maryland & Virginia. In the 1910 census he lists his parents birthplace as New York & Indiana! During the 1880 census when he was married to Jossie, Thomas listed his parents as being born also in Maryland and Virginia. 1910 Census finds Georgia P. living in Indianapolis Ward 1, Marion, Indiana with her husband, Thomas E. Martin, her son, Charles E. Martin (age 11), and Thomas' widowed daughter and grandson, Nellie Carrett (more likely Garrett) and James Garrett (age 8). Georgia and Thomas listed that they had been married 18 years which would have been about 1892. Georgia listed that she had only one child born to her, and that child was still living, so the 8-yr old child living with them was NOT their son as listed, but the son of the woman above him--Nellie. Another interesting thing was that Georgia listed Charles E. Martin's birthplace as Alabama! She lists her birthplace as Indiana and her parents as Ohio. Her husband was listed as a laborer in a factory. Nellie was a sales lady in a retail dry goods store. Georgia was home with the children. 1920 Census finds Georgia living alone as a widow. I'm sure that this is her because she is living on Davidson St. in Indy, and in 1918 Charles E. Martin's Draft Registratiion listed his address with his mother on Davidson St. (326 North Davidson Street)--the exact address she is living in 1920. She is working as a cook in a restaurant. Living near her is a waitress in a restaurant by the name of Goldie Hunter. I wonder if this is a sister to Henry Hunter who Georgia would marry later this year?	Georgia P. BARR
38	Note from Missy: Gus was hard to trace through records because he never used the same moniker twice: Gustaves, Gustavus, G.L., Gus, etc. Don't know much about Fanny. She was born in 1885 and so was much younger than Gus. It's possible that she was not his first wife. Gus had four children. Living in 1860 in German Township, Harrison Co., Ohio with parents and siblings. Living in 1870 on his father's farm in Mitcheltree Twn., Martin Co., Indiana. In 1880 Gus is living as a single man in Friendsville, Wabash Co., Illinois. He is working on the farm as a laborer for O.H. Wood and his wife May E. Wood. In 1900 Gus and his first wife were living in Hopkins County, Texas. They has been married for 11 years, but there were no children living with them. In 1910 Linea was no longer living as Gus was a widower in Oklahoma, and that cenus listed his years of marriage as 20. That means his first wife died in 1909. Gus was living alone in 1910 in Ratliff, Choctaw, Oklahoma as a widower. The census form says that he was married for 20 years. His occupation was farmer. In 1920 Gus, Fannie, and children are living in Wilson, Choctaw Co., Oklahoma. In 1930 Gus, Fannie, and children lived in Wilson, Choctaw County, Oklahoma. His obituary said that his wife, two sons, and two daughters survived him. I don't know which child died before his death.	Gustaves Lankerd "Gus" BARR
39	George and Permelia were buried next to James. All three share one upright stone. There are two smaller stones lined up next to it with a space between the two smaller. One stone says mother and the other read JMB. It's assumed that George is in the space between them.	James Madison BARR
40	Missy's Note: Lena's only mention in the family bible is a small note above the Barr section that says "Lena E Ikerd and Georgia P. Martin are younger than Anthia Huff." Her marriage to William Simpson is also mentioned. Lena and William divorced. Lena's marriage to Laban ended with his death in 1910. At the time of 1900 census living with sister Tabitha, Frances Marion Freeman, and their children after divorce of William Simpson in Halbert Twn, Martin Co., Indiana. In 1910 Lena was 45 and was living alone with only daughter Irene, age 6 in Mitcheltree Twn, Martin Co. Postcard marked 7 Feb 1919 was sent from Trinity Springs to Tabitha Freeman, her sister, for Tabitha's birthday. Lena mentioned that Irene and she went to see Georgia in Indianapolis. Letter postmarked Dec 22, 1943 was sent to Maggie Wade in Shoals from Lena E. Ikerd. Her addres was 316 E. Vermont St.; Indianapolis, IN. She mentions living with Irene. They sometimes take in boarders. Her grandson will be 18 years old January the 11th and will be quitting school and go to the army. She says he's the only grandchild she has. She mentions that she has not been feeling well so she only visits her children. She mentions that Walter had to quit driving his car and ride the street car to his work and that Blanche has over 60 birds. She talks of Maggie's children and mentions the war. If her grandson was 18 in 1944, then he was born in 1926. His parent and Lena's child would have been born approximately 18 years earlier or around 1908. That means the grandfather could not have been Joseph Ikerd. Her daughter Blanche lived in Hamilton, Ohio which is why she was probably buried there. Lena lived in Indianapolis with her other daughter Irene. Lena is buried right beside Walter Fath's parents (Joseph and Lillie B. Fath) in Section W, Lot 199.

41	Mary and James had no children. Raised Harvey Thomas Freeman as a foster child. Harvey was a cousin to James and later, a brother-in-law to Mary. In the 1860 census she was listed as 12 years old which if correct would place her birth at least a year earlier than 1850. In Mary C. Denning's obituary, it was stated that Mary's family came to Indian Springs, Martin County, Indiana when she was 12 years old. That means that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana in about 1862. In 1880 living in Mitcheltree Twn., Martin Co., Indiana with spouse and adopted son Harvey Freeman. Living next door to James and Eliza (Denning) Sheetz and their children. Delorma said that her mother and Virgil used to visit the cemetery at the New Trinity Springs Church of Christ, and they would go to the back area of the church. The Wades are buried to the right of the church. Perhaps James and Mary Catherine were buried in the rear of the church, but they had no headstones.

42	Tabitha Barr Freeman pronounced her name Tabitha with a long "i" sound and the accent on the second syllable--not the traditional pronunciation. My grandmother (her daughter) and my mother (her granddaughter) told me this many times. I finally found George's family in the 1860 census. He is living in German Township, Harrison Co., Ohio with wife Permelia, and his children: Mary C. (12), James (10), Elizabeth (8), Gustavus (4), Tabitha (1). Tabitha's name is wrongly spelled as Urbitha, and the last name is written as Bear for the whole family! In Mary C. Denning's obituary, it was stated that Mary's family came to Indian Springs, Martin County, Indiana when she was 12 years old. That means that the family moved from Ohio to Indiana in about 1862. In 1870 living in Mitcheltree Twn (Trinity Springs), Martin Co., Indiana with father George, mother Permelia, and the following siblings: Mary C., James M., Elizabeth N., Gus ?, Jantha ?, Marlena, and Margaret (Georgia P.).
