Survey

I need help determining a man's early origins. I know who he is, so I don't need anyone to guess who he is. It is very important you take the questions at face value only. Below are the clues that I have.
  • He belonged to a tribal band.
  • His father belonged to the same Native American tribe and gave him land rights.
  • He signed a treaty as a member of his tribe.
  • A Native woman signed a quit claim deed giving him land.
  • His tribe gave him land.
  • He married a European woman in a Christian church.
  • He was baptized a Christian, but the baptismal record is missing.
  • A record of his membership to any Christian church hasn't been found.
  • Some of his children were baptized Christian.
  • Some of his children attended a mission school.
  • He operated a sawmill.
  • He deeded land to his European brother-in-law.
  • He had a European last name.

The question is: based on the information provided, did this man grow up in a European family? YES or NO response please.

Thank you very much for your help.

  1. Yes!
    Sounds like he was raised in a Native American household which was in some stage of adjustment to European incroachment and the loss of people and territory.

  2. Absolutely not, he was a full blood Mohican/ Native having Only exposure to the Dutch school in Westenhook educated
    With English the natives. That's how John was literate and had English language comprehension and was a interpreter for his People the Mohicans/Wappengers.
