Kwai Kwai Karen,
I will try to list the pertinent pages so you do not have to read through all the pages of my manuscript. As you have already found, the specific names of the Knight family members begins on page 84 through page 106, to my Grandfather Knight. Then pages 112 to 114 refer to some "out of wedlock" children in the early 1940's of my grandfather by a Mrs Farron from Sugar Hill, NH.
Also referenced on page 114 are prior "out of wedlock" children by my grandfather while he was still married to my Grandmother, Ida May Gear-Giguere. This way you will be able to get all of the possible children my grandfatehr fathered. Who knows, some day someone may show up and be one of these missing links.
Page 116, The Savage family -- Naragansett (REALLY? PROVE IT)
Page 117-119, Sarah Savage Tremain, dau of Mr & Mrs Savage marries Benjamin Cooley, son of a Mr & Mrs Earl Cooley (read the three pages)
Page 118, children & grandchildren of Benjamin and Sarah Cooley
Page 120 - 122, Cooley-Goss marriage; Goss-Knight marriage
Page 123 - Aldrich-Seald- (FYI) This lineage, besides being in my direct lineage, it also ties directly to Bea Nelson of the Nebasak Women's group in Derby Line, Vt.
Page 125 - 126, Geer/Gear/Giguere lineage from Joesph born at Missisquoi Village, Dunham, PQ, (Actually this is incorrect. It is Dunham Village, Missisquoi County, Quebec, Canada. I have the correct Ida May nee: Geer lineage ancestry, genealogical document for document and there is NO "Joseph Geer or Gear in Howard Knight Jr.'s ancestry at all !!) down to my Grandmother, Ida May Gear-Giguere (my father's mother)
* Please Note remarks on page 126, by Richard "Skip" Bernier, now the Chief of the Odenak Family of Newport, and grandfather to one of the Vt Commission of Indian Affairs members, Steven or Stephen (Timothy) DeLaBreurre (actually this is Richard "Skip" Bernier's grandson Tim De la Bruere), regards the Geer-Gear-Giguere Fasmily and where they are at, in and around Odenak. Pierreville, PQ.
Page 133- Gear-Giguere connected families- Bigelow, Allen, Vallem, LaValley, etc. (Much information about Uncle Wren Bigelow-you should read-a real good man)
Page 139-141- Please do me a favor and read these pages. Pass a copy of each of the two pages to Brian (Chenevert), if you can break it out. I think he would/will find it very interesting about my Uncle Wren Bigelow.
Page 143-148-Grammy Knight (Ida May Gear-Giguere) -DOB & POB and some associated and related families, to include direct connections,finally establishe to the Chief Walter Watso family of Odenak (Totally and Absolutely Fabricated Lies by Howard F. Knight Jr. !!). You must read the entire section as this was why the Odenak people (Richard "Skip" Bernier, now Chief of The Odenak Families of Newport, Vt,) wanted me out of the picture and why I was assaulted in 2000 & 2001. (emphasis added) I have indirect ties to Odenak through the Watso family and a common link of his and my lineage through the ancient Abenaki family named Ne8nsozak, meaning "Ancient Reations From The Woods" to several families listed in this section, to include DuBois. (MORE BULLSH** LIES AND DISTORTIONS SPEWED UPON THE ABENAKI ANCESTORS BY HOWARD F. KNIGHT JR.)
Pages 147 & 148-Confirmation as to Gear-Giguere lineages and where they (specific family) are now spread out to, by no less the Chief Richard "Skip" Bernier of the Odenak Family of Newport, Vt and when confirmed by him. Also, this explains why they were looking for my copies of my Geneology, so as to distroy it at that time, but now too late. ALSO, ties of family to the Obomsawin fanily of Odenak, to include Chief Gilles Ombomsawin of the Obomsawin family-Odenak. (REALLY? LIES LIES LIES LIES......PROVE YOUR CLAIMS HOWARD F.

Please let me know what else you may need as to shortcuts from teh book to information on my family. As you can see, my Cowasuck line is solid (Bullsh**! PROVE IT) and when Mr Waterman submits his lineage, it will be as soloid as mine is. His may fill in some of what I have not found yet or have not included into my book.

I have truied to make eevrything as brief as possible to cut down the time to put it tgether and to make it easier for you. Also, the pages about the "Nude Follies", of my dad and his family and friends, I mentioned so you could get a little laughter for your hard working day.

As to the CONSACK Lineage, it is definately tied to the Watso and related families that are tied to my family as you will see in the page listings and you read the pertinent pages. Some of the other families, I did not jknow might be connected to mine. I have heard of Godin and was told once it might be related but I have never followed it up as never time enough to do so.

Let me know if this information helps. What I have is what I have. As to the Consack and related families, I only know what is referenced in the various pages as to Watso and related families. I hope this all helps you to do that lineatge and also mine in a shorter time.

You take care and stay well and treat yourself well. I send my best of regards and respects to you and hope all is going well for you. It is late so I will get a little sleep as I have a long day tomorrow. take care. Akwanna and Adio.
Respectfully Yours,
Howard

My Commentary:
MAYBE ODANAK'S BAND COUNCIL AND REGISTRY OFFICE CAN CONFIRM OR DENY THE CONCLUSIONS OF HOWARD F. KNIGHT'S CLAIMS IN THIS EMAIL OF SEPT. 25, 2006. IF HOWARD'S GRANDMOTHER IDA MAY GEER - KNIGHT WAS INDEED ABENAKI FROM ODANAK AS HE CLAIMS SHE WAS, WHY ISN'T HE, HOWARD FRANKLIN KNIGHT JR. A MEMBER OF ODANAK'S ABENAKI COMMUNITY?!

TO ME, HOWARD F. KNIGHT JR. HAS PROVEN HIMSELF OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO BE A CON-ARTIST, A SCHEME-ARTIST, AND A BLANTANT MOUTHY LIAR AND DISTORTIONIST AGAINST THE ABENAKI PEOPLE AND THEIR ANCESTORS! PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG IN MY CONCLUSIONS.

WHO COMES FROM HOMER WALTER ST. FRANCIS AND HOWARD FRANKLIN KNIGHT JR.'S DECEIT, DECEPTION, LIES, AND MANIPULATIONS OVER THE YEARS?

ANSWER:
1. Paul Wilson Pouliot, 2. Ralph Skinner Swett, 3. Brain Chenevert, 4. Nancy Lee Millette, 5. Eric Floyd, 6. Charles F. True Jr. and many more self-declared and fraudulant "Chief's" than one can shake a stick at. Right along with the late 7. Darrell Larocque and ALSO 8. John Moody, and 10. Frederick M. Wiseman. Etc.
To me, based on the documentation of all of these "chiefs", etc. and their historical doing's and going's on, confirms to me that the late Odanak Chief Gilles O'Bomsawin was absolutely and 100% percent correct in his position against the B.S. going on down in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts by these "groups" of Alleged and Re - Invented "Abenaki" groups!

These people, these "Chiefs" who self-proclaim to be representing the Abenakis, want Official Vermont and or New Hampshire State Recognition in Vermont and or New Hampshire (through their crafted Bills S. 124, S.222 and hb 1610, and sympathic their Legislative advocates such as Daniel Carr in suthern N.H. etc.) based on the fact that they are merely I-N-C-O-R-P-O-R-A-T-I-O-N-S. These "groups" do not want ANYONE to review, evaluate or examine the so-called "internal" merits or foundation of their claims, genealogies, historical social histories. WHY?

THINK ABOUT IT

Odanak Band Council Letter August 16, 2000 ~and~September 29, 2003 Odanak Band Council Resolution Revoking Recognition of Swanton VT's Abenaki Group led by Homer and his daughter April St. Francis-Merrill:

Document 01: Letter document from Conseil De Bande D'Odanak Band Council dated August 16, 2000 to Mr. Richard R. "Skip" Bernier of 35 Abenaki Drive in Newport, Orleans County, Vermont USA. "Mr. Bernier, With this letter, the Band Council of Odanak recognizes ONLY the Odanak Abenaki Family of Vermont with full recognition and status, back to our homeland. We hope to continue our stong ties with this family as the years pass. They are truly following our culture, as it should be and we the people of Odanak are proud to see the true native culture and basic needs being lived on our native ancestral land to the south. May this family continue to push forward in years to come. Sincerely, Gilles O'Bomsawin, Chief for the Odanak Council." 102, rue Sibosis, Odanak (Quebec) JOG 1HO Telephone: 450-568-2810.

Obviously, as of August 16, 2000 Gilles O'Bomsawin was beginning to "see" that there were fraudulant, mainpulative, deceitful persons and people/groups self proclaiming to being Abenakis down in Vermont and New Hampshire that have had no genealogical basis or foundation to be claiming such an appropriated Aboriginal Native Identity.

It is interesting to note, that Howard Franklin Knight Jr. was one such party who claimed and claims his grandmother Ida May Geer/Gear who married Franklin W. Knight, was born in or at Odanak, Quebec, Canada in January 1888. Perhaps Mr. "Skip" Bernier himself and Mr. Howard F. Knight Jr. were finding out one and the other of each other, that one was legitimately Abenaki (Bernier) and the other was not (Knight)? It is known from documentation, that Howard F. Knight was retrospectively-speaking communicating with Gilles O'Bomsawin regarding David Hill

LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2009/10/august-15-1997-odanak-letter-regarding.html so perahps it was Mr. Howard F. Knight Jr. who alerted the late Odanak Chief Gilles O'Bomsawin to the schemes and ffraudulant "appropriation" of Abenaki identity without genealogical or historical merit by these so-called alleged and invented "Chiefs" of these alleged and invented "Abenaki" groups down in Vermont of which we all know that Mr. Howard F. Knight Jr. was claiming to be, that caused Gilles O'Bomsawin to create this 2000 letter, and also do this Resolution to revoke and null and void Walter Watso's previous Odanak/ Wolinak Resolution of 1976 and 1977 (?). Secondly, Howard Knight Jr. was laying claim to being allegedly genealogically connected to the Watso, O'Bomsawin and Degonzaque/ Consack families. I will have to post this September 25, 2006 email communication Howard F. Knight Jr. sent to Karen Mica or Majka in my next post.

Document 02: Resolution De Bande d'Odanak/ Odanak Band Resolution #Chronologique GOB-046003-04. Dated September 29, 2003. Province de: Quebec.

Decide, par les presentes: "While we recognize that the Band Councils of Odanak and Wolinak issued resolutions in 1976 and 1977 recognizing the St. Francis/ Sokoki Band of Abenakis as a group of Abenakis living in the United States, we also recognize that these resolutions were not based on any genealogical or historical evidence linking these "St. Francis/Sokoki" to our Abenaki and Sokoki ancestors. 

We also recognize that the number of organizations claiming to being Abenaki in the United States and in Canada has increased greatly since that time, again without genealogical and historical evidence presented to this Council.

Therefore, we resolve that the Couseil de Band d'Odanak does not recognize at this time any organizations claiming to be Abenaki First Nations in the United States or Canada, with the exceptions of our brothers and sisters at Wolinak and Penobscot. We, of course, also recognize our fellow Wobanaki First Nation- the Passamaquoddy, Malecite and Mi'kmaq.

We further resolve that organizations claiming to be Abenaki and particularly their leadship, are invited to send their genealogical and historical documentation to the Conseil de Bande d'Odanak, so that we might review the information to assess whether or not there is any truth to their genealogical claims.

Let it be resolved, that Chief Gilles O'Bosawin sent letters to the Conseil de Bande di Wolinak, to the Penobscot nation and to the Grand Conseil de la Nation Waban-aki, encouraging them to pass similar resolutions." Quorum (3) Chef Gilles O'Bomsawin; Clement Sadaques, Conseiller; Michel Hannis, Conseiller; Eddy O'Bomsawin, Conseiller; and Denis Gill, Conseiller.

My Commentary:

These two particular documents amongst others was mailed to me "anonymously" sometime before Christmas and arrived to me on December 26th, 2009. Whoever sent this, I thank you ever so kindly for having done so.

So, what this Document of September 29th, 2003 does is REVOKE the two Resolutions signed by Walter Watso of Odanak in August 1976 and early 1977 ~ and seemingly also that of which Noel St. Aubin of Wolinak signed as well. See postings of this blog dated October 16, 2009 regarding August 15, 1977 Odanak Letter Regarding Walter Watso and Howard Franklin Knight Jr. LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2009/10/august-15-1997-odanak-letter-regarding.html and LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2009/11/step-4-forward-along-yellow-brick-road.html in particular: November 04, 1977: At the request of Arthur "Bill" Seymour and Kent Ouimette, Chief Noel St. Aubin of Wolinak's Abenaki Community situated in the Province of Quebec, Canada, issued a Resolution from the Abenakis of Becancour (Wolinak) in support of all of the Abenakis in the United States.

LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2009/11/step-16-forward-along-yellow-brick-road.html in particular: Hmmmm, let's take a "little mental trip down memory lane" to August 06, 1992. Per these documents that are being posted on this blog, Howard F. Knight Jr. recieved from Homer St. Francis Sr, the document signed by Odanak Abenaki Community resident and Chief Walter Watso on August 20, 1976 and rec'd by Homer St. Francis on Aug 27, 1976 which Homer St. Francis had notarized on August 30, 1976 in Swanton, Vermont (See: Posting on this blog "Step 06" January 03, 1977 Apendix C of Haviland and Powers Book The Original Vermonters). This Document will be Exhibit #22 of which I just made mention of.
LINK: http://reinventedvermontabenaki.blogspot.com/2009/11/step-27-forward-along-yellow-brick-road.html

In conclusion, the State Legislature's of both Vermont and New Hamsphire NEED to comprehend that Odanak, a known legitimately documented, historical, continuous, and cohesive Abenaki COMMUNITY does NOT recognize on any OFFICIAL STANDING anyone claiming to being Abenaki, without first having the claimant(s) genealogical foundation(s), and their historical records to substantiate that the claimant(s) are definitively, clearly and convincingly, of Abenaki descent. Obviously, Odanak's late Chief Gilles O'bomsawin knew of these Vermont - New Hampshire and Massachusetts Incorporated "groups" fraudulantly claiming to being representatives of the Abenaki People, and began addressing these dynamics and issues in August 2000 and again with this official Odanak Band Resolution on September 29, 2003. Odanak came to conclusion that the "St. Francis/ Sokoki" group led by the late Homer St. Francis (and now led by his daughter April Merrill in 2009), did not in 1976, 1977, 2000 or in 2003 nor in 2005 have ANY EVIDENCE of being Abenaki, St. Francis Indians or Sokoki.

Perhaps the State's of Vermont and New Hampshire Legislative Political Representatives would like to ignore this dynamic in 2010 (?) i.e. that these "groups" (which are merely splintered off Inc. created "groups" from Homer. St. Francis's "group" or from Howard F. Knight Jr.'s "group") are attempting to "become Abenakis" bestowed and crowned with official State Legislature status as being legitimately "Abenaki" Tribes and or Bands. WITHOUT any genealogical evidence of their ancestors having been Abenaki who had connection(s) to any legitimate historical cohesive or continuous Abenaki Community.

I cannot emphasize enough, that the State Legislature and Political Representatives NEED to take the time and investigate, review and evaluate these alleged Abenaki groups claims of being legitimate and bonefide Abenakis. If Odanak, Quebec, Canada's Abenaki Community and Wolinak's Abenaki Community Chief's were putting out letter's and Official Resolutions like this, then the Legislature's of Vermont and New Hampshire regarding Bill's S. 124, 222 and the other's in New Hampshire ought to take a time and study/ review just what is knocking repeatedly at their door. Are these "groups" of alleged and reinvented Abenakis really honestly legitimately Abenakis, or are they frauds, fakes and wannabe's who are merely Incorporations?!

Obviously and apparently Odanak, a legitimate historical, cohesive and continous definitively genealogically-based Abenaki Community concluded that these "groups" down in Vermont and New Hampshire, including some in Quebec, Canada were fakes, frauds and wannabe Abenakis that had no genealogical or historical merit to be claiming that they were Abenaki.

Read the B.I.A. Conclusions on Swanton's St. Francis/ Sokoki "group" of November 09, 2005.

I will be posting further documents on this blog......keep checking back. I got A LOT MORE actual documents regarding Howard F. Knight Jr., Emerson Garfield, Nancy Millette Doucet, John Moody, April Merrill, Paul Pouliot, and many many more people, who were claiming to be representing the Abenaki as "Chief's" and so on.

Grab your hip-wader's and goggles too. I'd strongly suggest a person go to the hardware store downstreet there and pick up a loooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggg plastic pipe too. About the diameter of a dime say and about maybe three foot long. That way you can breath when the so-called Abenaki B.S. here in Vermont and New Hampshire gets so deep, a person won't drown in it. Might also want to pick up a set of them ear plugs too while you folks are at it. Just thought I'd warn you kindly said, because from the likes of it, there ain't a shovel made in heaven going to help clean up this mess.
