John Pollock's Obituary and Flora Eunice Ingerson's Obituary, etc.:

1st document: This first document is wherein one of the Ingerson settlers in Jefferson, Coos County, New Hampshire was ethnically identified as being an "Irishman".

2nd document: John Pollock Death Record of May 27, 1922 in Bethlehem, Grafton County, New Hampshire. (husband of Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson-Pollock).

3rd document: John Pollock's Obituary of June 01, 1922 from the Littleton, N.H. Courier newspaper.

4th document: Flora Eunice Ingerson's Official Death Certificate. This was previously posted but I am entering it again here. Nancy Lee nee: Millette - Doucet's "cousin" Rhonda nee: Besaw - True retrospectively had email-sent this document to me in an attachment on June 25, 2008. I did NOT obtain ANY Vital Record Certificate through attempting to decieve or impersonate anyone.

5th document: Flora Eunice nee: Ingerson - Hunt's Obituary in the Littleton, N.H. Courier newspaper.

And More Regarding the Smith and Ingerson Folks of N.H.:

1st and 2nd docuemnts: William Sherwood and widow Susannah "Susan" (nee: Smith) Rines marriage record of March 06, 1869 in Lancaster, Coos County, New Hampshire.

3rd document: Susannah "Susan" (nee: Smith) Rines - Sherwood Death Record of November 11, 1895 in Monroe, Grafton County, New Hampshire.

4th document: Flora Eunice (nee: Ingerson) and Henry Otis Hunt's marriage record on October 24, 1896 in Monroe, Grafton County, New Hampshire. Both of them are the age of 22 years. The Groom, Henry Otis Hunt, knows who both his parents are. Yet, the Bride, Flora Eunice Ingerson ONLY puts her father George Ingerson of Eaton, N.H. down on the marriage record. Did she NOT know who her mother's name was? Clearly and obviously by placing the geographical location of Eaton, N.H. for her mother, indicates that Flora Eunice Ingerson DID NOT KNOW anything about her mother at all. She did not know that Almira Rines - Ingerson - Pollock had remarried to John Pollock in 1879 nor did she know that Almira was born in August 1850 in Littleton, N.H. either. Did Flora Eunice Ingerson be born on some alleged "riverbank" or in some alleged "Abenaki Village in Jefferson, N.H."? Did Flora KNOW anything, let alone pick up and remember some alleged "Teachings of the Abenaki" from her mother Almira as Nancy Millette/Doucet has stated retrosepctively in the media repeatedly? Or was Almira and Flora's descendant Nancy Lee Millette - Doucet merely reinventing these two women, mother and daughter, and through that very likely manipulation herself, into being Abenaki, when the reality and truth of the genealogical records prove otherwise, that the statements made by Nancy Millette (now Doucet) were simply blantant fabrications created in Nancy's own mind and then perpetuated into the Public awareness? I think so, sadly said, based on the genealogical records, etc. Remember, Nancy was a Town Promoter of Littleton N.H. She not only had to promote the Town of Littleton to the public, but also herself, her persona, in which to solicite......(based on distortions and illusions?) 5th document: George William Ingerson's Death Record of February 23, 1906 in Haverhill, N.H.

6th document: The Littleton, N.H. Courier Newspaper article wherein Mrs. Henry Otis Hunt (Flora Eunice Ingerson-Hunt) of Monroe, N.H. travels to Swiftwater, N.H. on Sunday because of the death of her father George Ingerson. Then in the Benton, N.H. column, George Ingerson, a former resident of this town, died at the home of his son Charles Ingerson, in Haverhill, early Thursday morning Feb. 22.

These genealogical FACTS from the documents themselves, in comparison to Nancy's own publicly made statements in the media, began to cause me to question what has been going in the Northeast up here in Vermont and New Hampshire, MA, with these "groups" led by these "representatives" such as Nancy herself, April St. Francis-Merrill, Paul Wilson Pouliot, Howard Franklin Knight Jr., etc. and I've come to realize that PERHAPS what they all have been putting out there towards and in the PUBLIC, as to the merits of their arguements, statements, and positions, may NOT be factually real or honest. Through this blog, and the documents NOT MY COMMENTARY, I am hoping I can figure out whether or not if these "groups", these people, claiming to being Abenaki are really who they say they are. Because for quite a few years, I have begun to DOUBT their merits, their arguments, their purported histories. This doubt began to seep into my mind and bones with hearing from Rhonda Besaw, and from reading that BIA Conclusionary Report of November 2005 etc. So, it is that I have created this blog. There are reasons for it. It's a work-in-progress and there is MUCH MUCH MORE to put on here.

Almira (Rines) Ingerson - Pollock's Death Record of Feb. 05, 1880:

This is the actual image from the Littleton Town Records for Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson - Pollock's Death. This obviously shows that this is Flora Eunice Ingerson - Hunt's mother having remarried to John Pollock BEFORE she died February 05, 1880 in Littleton, Grafton County, New Hampshire. Some folks will say to SOURCE my Family Tree Maker information. I have the SOURCE DOCUMENTS to substantiate what is in my FTM database and as time allows I will be putting the genealogical records on this blog, etc.

So, I am wondering whether or not Almira (Rines) Ingerson (who abandoned/left/divorced her 1st husband, leaving the care of this very young daughter Flora Eunice Ingerson to the girl's father George W. Ingerson, just how many Abenaki cultural lessons, medicines and the like Almira allegedly was able to pass on to Flora Eunice Ingerson. Did she or didn't she? Was she even able to pass on much of anything at all that Flora Eunice Ingerson would have remembered into her adulthood? Anyone with any sense of raising a 3-4-5 year old child, knows that to keep the attention span of that child for very long is nearly impossible. I am not sure when Almira Ingerson abandoned her 1st marriage and children (more genealogical research will have to be done) but from what I have researched thus far, Flora Eunice Ingerson didn't know her mother for very long sadly said.

More Information on Almira Rines-Ingerson-Pollock, etc:

1st Document: Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson (after having left her first husband George W. Ingerson and her children of that marriage) remarried to John Pollock on June 17, 1879 in Bethlehem, Grafton County, New Hampshire. Almira's daughter Flora Eunice Ingerson (who later married to Henry Otis Hunt) would have been 05 years, 02 months, 23 days of age (IF as stated on Flora Eunice Ingeron-Hunt's Death Certificate, she was indeed born on March 25th, 1874) (yet I have a date of September 09, 1874 for Flora Eunice Ingerson-Hunt's birth on another document) at the time of her mother's second marriage. Flora Eunice Ingerson would have just about been 5 years old if using either date of birth. How many alleged "Abenaki teachings" and/or motherly lesson's do you folks think Almira Rines-Ingerson would have taught her daughter Flora, and for Flora to have retained those "teachings", etc.? THINK ABOUT IT.
2nd document: If the 1st document didn't confuse you folks, then this probably might confuse you....when comparing the media published articles in which Nancy Millette/aka Nancy Cruger/aka Nancy Lyons/aka Nancy Doucet had stated "her Great-Grandmother Flora Una Ana Ingerson-Hunt was taught by her mother Almira, who were both born in, and from the Abenaki Village in Jefferson where they are digging right now" bla-bla-bla-blah, then this document ought to solidify a bit more on the matter. Almira Rines-Ingerson-Pollock DIES on February 05, 1880 in Littleton, Grafton County, New Hampshire! Notice on the Death Certificate, that both of her parents were not from no alleged Abenaki Village situated in Jefferson, N.H. either. Her father was from Lisbon, N.H. and her mother was from Lyman, N.H. according to this certified document. Also in approximately April of 1879, John Pollock and Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson-Pollock had a daughter Annie Pollock in Littleton or Bethlehem, N.H. who died August 30, 1881 in Littleton, N.H. at the age of 02 years and 04 months of Scarlatina. No mother is listed on the young girl's Death Record at the Littleton Town Clerk's Office, except that said mother was born in the U.S. Father being John Pollock born in Canada. John Pollock could possibly have had a daughter by-another-woman whom he didn't marry, but it is highly unlikely. On the marriage record to Almira, he states that it was his 1st marriage, and Almira indicated it was her first marriage as well, but obviously, looking at the historical records this was not the reality or the truth of the matter.
3rst Document: George William Ingerson (after his first wife Almira Rines-Ingerson left him with their 6 children in Bethlehem or Jefferson, N.H. and had died in February 1880) he remarried to Sarah Maria Howe on November 18, 1880 in Haverhill, New Hampshire. George W. Ingerson's mother was Eunice Wilbur (nee: Presby) Ingerson and his father was Jesse Ingerson. George's father Jesse had married to Eunice in Lyman, N.H. on February 04, 1841. Jesse's first wife was Elvira Mehitable Wilson whom he married in 1809. From this first marriage Jesse had a son William Henry Ingerson in April 1819 in Jefferson, whom married to Elmira Bergin on June 20, 1839 in Jefferson, N.H., she being the daughter of Isac Bergin and Betsey Stone. Thus, George William Ingerson and William Henry Ingerson were half brothers. Both of their spouses were named Almira or Elmira Ingerson after marriage. They lived near or beside one another's farms (as did the Applebee relatives) and Emira Bergin-Ingerson's brother Ira Bergin did land transactions with George W. Ingerson. Elmira (Bergin) Ingerson died December 05, 1885 in Jefferson, N.H. Nancy Millette-Doucet obviously was confused as to the Death Certificate being her Great-Great-Grandmother that was sent to her by the State of N.H. Vital Records Department down in Concord, and by the way she had email attached that particular death certificate to me in September 2005. A simple trip to the Lancaster Library and onto the micro-film reader to obtain the obituary for Elmira (Bergin) Ingerson clarified which of these two "Elmira/Almira" Ingerson's had died in December 1885.

A genealogical romp into the Rines-Ingerson folks from Littleton, N.H. and Jefferson, N.H.:

1st document: Ebenezer Rines married to Susanah "Susan" Smith on September 25, 1845 in Littleton, Grafton County, New Hampshire. He was the son of Henry Rines born September 10, 1772 in Lebanon, York County, Maine and who married to Alice "Ellis" Miller born in Alton Bay, Belknap County, Maine. Henry Rines died September 10, 1851 in Jefferson, Coos County, New Hampshire. Alice (Miller) Rines died August 01, 1858 in Jefferson as well. No they did not die in a Teepee nor in an Abenaki Village....
Ebenezer Rines died September 04 1863 at Point Lookout, Maryland and his wife died November 11, 1895 in Monroe, New Hampshire after having remarried to William Sherwood on March 01, 1869 in Dalton, Coos County, New Hampshire. It was William Sherwood's first (unknown) spouse that he had Emile Sherwood who married to William Stephen Rines March 13, 1866 in Lancaster, Coos County, New Hampshire. William Stephen Rines was born April 24, 1846 in Littleton, New Hampshire to Ebenezer Rines and Susannah Smith. His second wife was Emeline Merrill whom he married in December 1873, and later he married a third time to Emma Elliott on March 03, 1888. This 3rd wife Emma Elliott was a sister to William H. Elliott, who first married to Flora Ella Woodward, daughter of my fourth great grandparents brother and sister.
2nd document: Almira Rines was born in Littleton, Grafton County, New Hampshire on August 21 or 29, 1850 (NOT in some alleged Abenaki Village in Jefferson, N.H. as Nancy Millette-Cruger-Lyons-Doucet would have folks assume/believe/think). This Birth Record is from Littleton, Grafton County, New Hampshire right where Nancy Millette-Cruger was employed at the Littleton Coin Factory, The Littleton Pizza House, and as the Littleton, N.H. "Town Promoter" for a number of years. Why she could not have discovered these genealogical records of her own Great-Great Grandmother Almira Rines-Ingerson is quite puzzling......then again, perhaps she had a story to tell, and if these records came to light, well that would have spoiled her endeavor with these folks from Swanton, Vermont led by Homer St. Francis Sr. and his supporters. She had a Show to put on, leathers & feathers, and all that, for the Littleton, N.H. Politicians, and the general public.
3rd document: This is from the William Presby of London, England & Taunton, MA & his descendants 1690-1918 by Joseph Waite Presby. Rutland, Vermont. Tuttle Company 1918. Obviously, Nancy Doucet never found this book, and realize that Flora Una Ana Ingerson - Hunt was actually Flora Eunice Ingerson - Hunt. Then again, since 1918 this information has been published in a book. Regardless, Nancy Doucet (formerly Cruger and Lyons) merely wanted to go about "In-di-an-izing" her Great-Grandmother Flora's middle name, etc. Kind'a like what I did with that whole Salmon Raven Deer business years ago.
4th & 5th document: This is the 1880 Federal Census done on the 14th day of June, 1880 in Stewartstown, Coos County, New Hampshire. From this documented Census, seeing that the children of George W. Ingerson and Almira Rines were on Inmates at the County Farm, and not in Jefferson, N.H. with their father, and their mother not-to-be-found....I genealogically thought that perhaps their mother Almira Rines - Ingerson had died before June of 1880. Later research by Faith Kent of Lancaster, N.H. and also my own research found that Almira had not only died by June 1880, but that she had remarried as well, leaving George William Ingerson with their six (6) children. At approximately six (6) years of age, Flora Eunice Ingerson was at the Coos County Poor Farm up in Stewartstown, N.H. with her siblings.

Some Genealogical "Homemade" Charted Connections:

I thought perhaps its time to throw in a few home-made genealogical chartings I did some years ago. Chart #1 (the top one) is the Joseph Lamadeleine dit LaDouceur and Marie Catherine Girardin dit Sansoucy two lines of descendants. I was researching the lineage on the right for a friend who hired me to find her genealogical ancestry. Genealogically speaking, research (at least for me anyway, goes both ancestrally and down all descendancy lineages). Obviously, I genealogically connected both my friends ancestors to Nancy Lee (nee: Millette) Doucet's ancestors.

Chart #2. is the two Nichols Descendant lineages. One can see that Nancy Millette-Doucet (Doucet is her married name nowadays since she married to Mark Doucet in Haverhill, N.H.) is related to the same Nichols ancestors that I am descendant from.

Chart #3. is Nancy Doucet's ancestral connections to my own Sawyer and Russell lineage ancestors. But this chart will need some explaining. David Taylor (sister to Bestey Taylor who was my ancestor) married to Sarah Saywer (whose brother Benjamin Sawyer...whose my ancestor....married to Betsey Taylor. In simple terms, two siblings of the Sawyer family married to two siblings of the Taylor family. It was Sarah (Sawyer) and David Taylor who had a daughter Cynthia Taylor who married Hiram Hunt. It was Hiram's brother Frederick P. Hunt who married to Mary Jane Shawney (who was Richard "Rick" Hunt and Rick's 1st cousin Nancy Millette-Doucet's ancestor). Rhonda Besaw/True is only related to Nancy (nee: Millette) and Richard "Rick" Hunt via the two Nash sisters Chloe and Minnie.

Chart #4. This chart also can be a bit confusing but alittle explaining will hopefully go along way. Again these are simple WORD Document created charts that I made some time ago. Apollos Woodward and Rachel Reynolds, George Robinson and his second wife Sarah Taylor, Maria Charlotte Robinson-Rollins are my direct ancestors. Maria C. Robinson's sister Mary Robinson married to David Brown, son of John Brown and Susan Brock. Apollos Woodward and his first wife Rachel Reynolds had Parker Preston Woodward who married to Sarah Pilsbury Sawyer (his brother Royal and her sister Mary married each other = two siblings of the Woodward's married two siblings of the Sawyer's). Anyway, Parker and his first wife Sarah Sawyer had a daughter Nancy Jane Woodward who married Alonzo John Woodward (my 3rd great grandfather). After she died he married to Mary Charlotte Robinson who was the widow of Asa Rollins. Parker and Sarah also had another daughter Flora Ella/Ellah Woodward who first married to William Henry Elliott, son of Warren Elliott and Rebecca Hunter. They broke up shortly after their marriage. Later, William H. Elliott remarried to Amelia Maria Brown, daughter of David Brown and Mary Robinson. Flora later remarried to Hayden/Harley Cass. William Henry Elliott's sister Emma Elliott married to William Rines after Emeline Sherwood died. William Rines was brother to Almira Rines that married first to George William Ingerson and later she remarried to John Pollock. Almira Rines and Geo. Ingerson were Flora Eunice Ingerson's parents. Flora Eunice (NOT Una Anna) Ingerson-Hunt was Nancy Lee Millette (now Doucet)'s Great Grandmother. I made an error on this particular chart, in that Susan Rines who married to William Sherwood, is actually the mother to Almira Rines-Ingerson. After Ebenezer/Eben Rines died she later remarried to William Sherwood. Flora Eunice Ingerson married to Henry Otis Hunt and they had Reginald Hunt who married to Mabel Dyke. It was Reginald and Mabel who then had Melvin who had Richard "Rick" Hunt, and their daughter Beverly who had Nancy Lee Millette. Therefore, Rick Hunt and Nancy are 1st cousins. You will see why I have been showing these charts and the genealogical connectedness as this blog goes along, but while studying my own ancestral lineage's I kept repeatedly running into Nancy Millette Cruger Lyons Doucet's ancestors. In particular, what she was saying in the media, did not, and had not been found to be factual, based on the documentation I have genealogically researched. Was Almira Rines - Ingerson and her daughter Flora Eunice (a.k.a. Flora "Una Ana") Ingerson - Hunt REALLY from some undocumented "Abenaki Village 8,000 to 10,000 years old which was situated in Jefferson, New Hampshire? Or was Almira or her daughter Flora born on "some riverbank"?

On Tuesday Aug 12, 2008 3:25 am #37304 of 43741 "Nancy Millette" foxsong06 via Olidahozi moderated and censored by Jeanne Lincoln - Kent herself and her Yahoo Group member Nancy Lee Millette/Cruger/Lyons/Doucet posted the following message that was forwarded to me (since I am no longer a member of Jeanne's Olidahozi Yahoo Group.....quote.....
"Kwai Allas many of you already know Douglas Lloyd Buchholz (aka Salmon, Mark Douglas Leckie, Salmon Raven Deer) has been stocking me and harrassing me for over two years now. He has recently posted on ancestor.com no, that was Genforum.com's Message Board's and Ancestry.com's Message Board's and other genealogy forums a bogus letter stating he is related to me and is looking for information on my family to identify my abenaki roots I was seeking other people who could substantiate what Nancy Millette was putting out in the media. He has made his letter sound as though I have enlisted his services to help find the information. He is NOT related to me unless he has found some way to make it look that way via his bogus 18 page genealogy chart he has posted. In his posting he has posted personal information all of it PUBLIC INFORMATION about myself and other living relatives which endangers us all and puts us at risk of identity theft B.S. I am enlisting the services of an attorney and will be pursueing charges against him. I would appreciate it if any one should find more of his postings that is abuse toward myself or family members if you would please forward the posts to me. Thank you. Nancy Millette

Well, let the genealogical records speak for themselves in the next posting.

Sherbrooke Pow-wow 2002 Photographs:

Photo 1: (top one) is of Richard "Rick" O'bomsawin, current representative of Odanak, Quebec, Canada's Abenaki community. He's in the bearskin regalia and the white face paint. "Grandfather" Rene Blanchette of Methuen, MA is walking in the background behind Rick's right side. Rene is or was an Assistant Clerk/Genealogical Researcher for Paul Pouliot's group and was or is a member of the Board of Directors as of April 08, 2008. Paul Wilson Pouliot is the "President"~Chairman of the Board of Directors. I guess that makes him a "Chief" of whatever their Incorporation is called (i.e. Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenaki People Cowass North America, Inc. d.b.a. (doing business as) The Abenaki Nation of Vermont, Inc. P.O. Box 52 Alton, N.H.).

Photo 2: Well, that's Rhonda L. Besaw (now married to Charles Francis True Jr. (who claims to be the "Speaker"....of and for the Abenaki Nation of New Hampshire, Inc., which I have spoken of previously in this blog i.e. Homer St. Francis and Allen Martell, etc.) and to her left side is Rick O'bamsawin of Odanak, Qc., and an unidentified woman, and over to the far right (in the picture) is Paul Wilson Pouliot.

Photo 3: (on the far left in the picture) is Grey Wolf a.k.a. John Lawyer of St. Albans, Vermont (used to be part of Homer St. Francis's group but then jumped Bands, and went with the Mazipskwik group led by Connie Brow (homer St. Francis' niece) and David Gilman. (You can read some details here on this blog about this group using the search engine in the upper left corner, or you can read about this group in Frederick M. Wiseman's Autohistory of the Abenaki Nation on page 180-181). Next in this photograph (in the bacground) is Rene Blanchette a.k.a. Grandfather Maple, (with the deer antlered staff) is Paul Wilson Pouliot, Jamie Mehigan a.k.a. James D. Mehigan who at the time was of Woodville, MA (who was Secretary of Paul W. Pouliot's Inc. in 2005), and (with another one of them deer antler'd staff's is Walter Watso (who was from Odanak as well).

Photo 4: (left to right) is Paul Wilson Pouliot, (to Paul's left) is David Mathieson of Griswold, CT (whose wife is Lynn Menard-Mathieson and she was Paul W. Pouliot's group Business Agent-Connecticut and Member of the Board of Directors as of April 08, 2008).

Photo 5: These two woman are (left) Karen Benoit-Belanger and (right) Anissa Belanger (members of Paul Pouliot's group).

Photo 6: James "Jamie" D. Mehigan.

Photo 7: Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada "Dignitaries meeting with "Chief's" and "Elder's" at the Sherbrooke, Pow-wow. From left to right, is Rene Blanchette, unknown, holding the deer antlered staff is Paul W. Pouliot, with the red blanket, and then there is Walter Watso who was from Odanak, Quebec, Canada. My question is after seeing these images, is..."whats up with the deer antler'd staffs/walking sticks? Maybe they were used to hold up these "chief's" EGO's while they attended this event. Or maybe it was so everyone else could point them out, so these "chief's could feel important". I just don't know, but I do ponder......The photographs above #1 through #7 are from Norm Léveillée (link: http://www.cowasuck.org/sherbrooke/gallery.htm#gallery

Photo 8: Thats me on the left (in the picture), an unidentified man, and the woman whose last name is Bessette. She was from Magog, Quebec, Canada and was Abenaki. The Magog ancestral village is underneath the McDonald's Resturant, and the outlet of that river. I attended this event/Pow-w0w in June of 2002 by traveling up there with Patricia Lilly of Ossippee, New Hampshire at the time. I recall that Jeanne Lincoln-Kent was up there with her new husband in their van. Oh how she tried to talk to me about all that "Firewoman vs. Paul Pouliot "business", attempting to pull me into that mess. Muck-racking even back then by all sorts of people. But I was there just the same, and I witnessed a lot of the "crap" that was being done by folks to other folks. The ground was flat and hard on the feet, the seagulls were numerous and diving bombing for Poutine, a dish of french fried potato strips topped with gravy and cheese.

Emerton~Pouliot~Kent Feud of Mid-2002 and NECAIM Newsletter Posting Aug. 14, 2002:

This tidbit I was forwarded, is quite an interesting bit of information regarding the "feud" that brewed between Paul Wilson Pouliot, with his (then) wife Linda
against Jeanne Lincoln-Kent, and Jacqueline "Jackie" "Firewoman" Adelle Emerton. From this article, it seems that (at least to me) anyone that was in disagreement with the so-called "Chief" a.k.a. "President" of the Incorporation/ Non-Profit/501(c)3 which was Paul Wilson Pouliot, found themselves "getting the cold shoulder, "driven out", "slandered", and maliciously attacked verbally.

I don't know who particularly wrote this posting on NECAIM on August 14th, 2002 (perhaps it was one of Jacqueline Emerton's daughter's, step-daughter's, or adopted daughter's either in Massachusetts, or Maine.

On Page 04 of this pages, Douglas Lloyd Buchholz = mskwmagw@yahoo.com and also Mkwamagwigit translates to He Who Is Called A Salmon is me. Just so there is no confusion about that. I was a member of a Yahoo Group at the time called "Wobanaki" which both Jeanne (Lalime) Lincoln-Kent and I both were members of at the time. "Elie" or Joseph Joubert, son of Cecile Wawanolett up in Odanak, Quebec and Troy, New York was a Moderator for that Yahoo.com Group. Anyway, I am posting this for people to get a sense of what happened then, and what is happening again and again with these alleged so-called Abenaki "groups", which from what I can only conclude are merely 501(c)3 incorporated non-profits, who then issue "Membership Cards" to those that are deluded into assuming and concluding these "groups"/Inc.'s are allegedly legitimate Abenaki "Bands" and/or "Tribes", when they are not.

Paul Pouliot's Entry into the Howard Knight Jr. Group and Jeanne Lincoln Kent Happenings:

The 1st document to this posting is something one REALLY needs to study. It clearly shows that Paul Wilson Pouliot, the COWASS, Inc. "President" who claims to the Abenaki Cowasuck "Chief" had on July 08, 1992 applied for membership into the Northeast Woodlands-Coos Band of the Abenaki Republic-Algonkian Confederation (all of that was an Incorporated entity as well created and promoted by Howard F. Knight Jr. and his "followers"/ "supporters". Mr. Paul W. Pouliot, at the time, clarified and defined his Native Ancestry as being "Laurentian Iroquois". This application for a membership into Howard Franklin Knight's "incorporation"/claimed to be an Abenaki Band/Confederation, was approved on July 15, 1994 and signed by the so called "Tribal Judge/Rep: Robert Maynard" and "Tribal Chief Howard Knight aka Rushing Water". Aaaah, do you notice in this membership application for Paul Wilson Pouliot that, "the applicant MUST relinquish membership in any other Band/Tribe of Indigenous Peoples, and that failure to do so will constitute automatic forfeiture of any and all rights acquired because of their membership in the Northeast Woodlands-Coos Band of the Abenaki Republic-Algonkian Confederation, as provided in the By-Laws (of the Incorporation/ Non-Profit Organization registered in and created through the solicitation to the State) thereof.
~
The 2nd document is pertaining to Jeanne Kent's alleged genealogical connection to the Abenaki People. "Could have's, Maybe's, Might have been's"
just don't cut it. Jeanne Kent states, "that she is a descendant of a Joseph Compient (POSSIBLY Capino), who signed the Robertson lease of Missisquoi land in 1765. Robert Capino (aka Robert Pinawans) was granted land at Durham in 1805. Pierre Jacques Capino is listed as chief in 1808. Cilamanamakw was the name of a Capino at Durham according to Gordon Day. Notice that according to Gordon Day in 1981, that the PROBABLE Native Name of kepinaw8s, 'the person who takes care of someone' the Capino variation MAY HAVE BEEN an abbreviated version of the name 'Captain Pinawans' LOU (meaning this information came from Louis Annance).
~
The 3rd document dated May 07, 2002 from Yannick Mercier to Jeanne Lincoln-Kent indicates that he gave her genealogical records to Christian Wawanolett. Well, lets see here, there is Anitaya a Pawnee Indian, there is Joseph Proux whose Algonquin, there is Mad Denis-Lapierre-Assisniwi who was Algonquin, there is Joseph Pineau-Campino who was chief from Wolinak-Odanak, there is Jacqueline Cadot who was Cadot-Pawnee Indian, there is Nicolas Gamache who was Huron, there is Marie Boucher who was Montagnais, there is Louise Angelique Giroux Manitouabi8wich who was Algonquin or Huron (somehow this Roch Manintoubeouich / Manitouabeouichitand his wife Outchibabhanoukoneau/ Outchibahabanoukouehou/squa who both were born in the approx. first ten years of 1600 in or about Lake Huron, Ontario "become" somehow "Abenaki" by the 1980's or 1990's simply because they were afforded Jesuit Mission protection (along with other Huron Refugee's from the Western Algonquin area, when they were ravaged by disease, famine, and hostile neighboring Native People's in the 1600's). And last but not least, there is Marie Nipising from Michilimakinack, Wisconsin and another Jeanne (nee: Lalime) Davis-Lincoln-Kent's ancestor "unknown Nipissing woman/Jeanne Gisis Bahmahmaadjimiwin Nipissirinienne (whose mother and father are unknown), who was mother of Euphrasine Madeleine Nicolet born ca. 1628. Well, Euphronsine's father (FRENCH) was Jean "Sieur de Belleborne" Nicolas Nicolet was born ca. 1598 in Cherbourg, Normandie, France (he died 1642 in Sillery, a Jesuit Mission in Quebec) and his wife was Jeanne Gisis Bahmahmaadjimiwin (that's Anishnabe language meaning 'to live the good life' and she was born ca. 1602 in Lac Nipissing, Quebec, Canada. (There is some sqwabble over whether she was Ojibway, Algonquin, or Odawa). Euphrosine Madeliene Nicolet  married Jean LeBlanc and after the first husband died in 1662 by Iroquois assault she married secondly to Elie Dussault on February 22, 1663 . I have this genealogical information all mapped out in my own Family Tree Maker Program of 42,000+ people. So, from what I can "see" thus far, Jeanne Kent's Native Ancestral connections are 'way-way-way back-in-time', so far back that they are a fraction of her total ancestry altogether. Indeed, Jeanne (Lalime) Lincoln-Kent descends from Euphrosine Madeleine Nicolet and her 2nd husband Elie Dussault. NOT Euphrosine's 1st husband Jean LeBlanc who died September 11, 1662 by being killed by the Iroquois.

If that qualifies a person to "become" an Abenaki, well I guess a whole lot of folks have been and will be saying they are "Abenaki" won't they?!

The 4th document dated June 26, 2002 by Paul W. Pouliot to Yannick Mercier. I am not sure of the in's and out's of this whole feud with Jacqueline "Jackie" or "Firewoman" Adelle (nee: Williamson) Emerton but according to the documenation I got on hand, she was appointed or declared a leader/clan mother of a branch of the Abenaki, the Pennacooks, a matriarchal society. What this ""matriarchal society" term means is that the Native heritage and descent of a person ALWAYS came down through the MOTHER. Not the father's side of the family within Abenaki Society. Jacqueline Emerton was a past "Band Matriarch" and member of the Elders Council of the Cowasuck Band of the Pennacook-Abenaki People, whose "President" of this Incorporation they like to refer to as a "Band" or "Tribe" is none other than Paul Wilson Pouliot. Paul Pouliot's mother was Mildred Elizabeth Wilson born on 03 Feb 1920 in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts. Her parents were John Wilson (son of John Wilson born in Ireland and Jane Hartness born in Ireland) and Elizabeth Wilson (born Oct 27 1896 in Roselea, Ireland...dau. of Robert Wilson and Anne Harrington....both were born in Ireland). So, if the Abenaki and Pennacook were Matrilineal oriented and that the Native heritage, and the Native bloodline for inclusion and Clan recognition is "through the mother's" well then that means Paul Wilson Pouliot isn't from the Hawk Clan of the Abenaki People's?! Now his father was Leo Paul Pouliot who was born in Worcester, MA and his parents were Joseph Napolean Pouliot born 26 Feb 1896 in St. Cecile de Whatton, Quebec, Canda (he relocated to Shrewsbury, MA and died 29 Nov 1957) and he married in Sherbrooke, Quebec 05 September 1916 to Rose Aime or Anne Beatrice Bourque or Bourke who was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec on 15 Mar 1897 and died in 1962 in Shrewsbury, MA.

Now according to Paul Wilson Pouliot, he was concluding his ancestry was "Laurentian Iroquois", not Abenaki, and not Pennacook Indian. So MAYBE this is why he had such a issue with Jacqueline 'Jackie" "Firewoman" Adelle Emerton as a Clan Matriarch of HIS "Incorporation" aka Cowass, Inc. etc. It was perhaps merely that she was of the mind to say that Abenakis were Matrilineal, and if that were the reality and truth, then Paul W. Pouliot was "threatened" by her, by the mere FACTS genealogically that his mother was 100% percent Irish. Not Abenaki, Not Cowasuck, Not Pennacook. Maybe way way way back on his father's ancestors' there might have been some Native connections genealogically-speaking, but the Pouliot's themselves came from France and most of his ancestors were French descendants. These "groups" of Incorporated self-proclaiming self-described "Abenaki" would just love to have "the one drop of blood rule" I am sure.

The 5th document dated October 28, 2002 from Jeanne Lincoln-Kent to Mr. Claude Aubin is where she requests in writting to be removed from that Metis group in the Province of Quebec, Canada, Now, go back to the Membership Instructions on the 1st document that Paul Wilson Pouliot signed on July 08, 1992. Doesn't it say on there "that to have duel membership in two different groups of Indigenous Native People's was a BIG No-No?! So what was Jeanne Lincoln-Kent doing HOLDING, POSSESSING, and USING (2) TWO different Membership Cards to (2) two different alleged Indigenous Groups?! If your minds are doing the math, then it's time to go back to 3rd Grade and re-educate yourselves. 1+1 does not = 1.

Next. I will post a little bit of a some "stuff" wherein Paul & Linda Pouliot, Jacqueline "Firewoman" Emerton and Jeanne Kent, a few others, and even a slight mention of me under the name of Mkwamagwigit/ Mskwmagw back on July 30, 2002 was mentioned. This will all make sense in the end of this, I assure you readers of this blog of that. (Remember, I am alleged some slobberin' foaming-at-the-mouth ol' hound dog trying to kill Keni Red's and other high n' mighty Chickens over here in the Northeast Kingdom and the North Country, blood all over the place, and then I am going to make a mad dash ruch back to my home country of Washington State leaving such a bloody mess.....). Laugh with me, howl with me, run for the hills, because it is their own social, genealogical, and historical records regardless of my commentary as to such. Do the math, do your homework. Most importantly, do as I have done. Ask questions, begin to doubt their words and actions vocally, and begin to demand answers. This really pisses them off. I think Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire deserve some legitimate answers via legitimate documenations regarding a whole lot of folks claiming to being allegedly "Abenaki" Chiefs/ Representatives of alleged Abenaki "Bands" and or "Tribes".

May 14, 2002 into June 26, 2002 Documents and Happenings:

The first document is the digitally "amended" marriage document of Nancy (nee: Millette_) Cruger's marriage to Howard Lyons on May 14, 2002 out in San Juan Bautista, San Beniot County, California. This document I obtained "as a matter of PUBLIC RECORD from Windsor County, Vermont Court Records.

The next article was from a local newspaper, and Nancy Millette-Cruger-Lyons (now under the alleged surname of Doucet as of Sept. 27, 2009) and she was living with her (then) new husband Howard Lyons in Bethlehem, N.H.

Oh, yes, this 3rd article is a bit of a read for sure. Sagakwa does NOT mean to rejoice in the Iroquois language. Nancy Cruger-Lyons at the time got the word from someone else, who designed and produced the "Sagakwa" Pow-wow T-shirts for Twin Mountain, N.H., when he found the word in Gordon Day's English to Abenaki Language Dictionary!

I just had to laugh some more when I read, "The cultural weeked is an annual tribute to Mrs. (Nancy) Lyons' great-great grandmother Elmira Rine(s) Ingerson and her (Nancy') great-grandmother Flora Una Anna Ingerson, and all of their children and their children's children. Both woman lived in the ancient Abenaki Village that has been dated 8,000 years old and was located in what is now known as Jefferson, (N.H.). The recent archaeological digs being done in Jefferson," said Mrs. Lyons, "have provided strong evidence that the old stories my grandmother told of the Abenaki village are real history." As you readers will soon review and see for yourselves, the so-called oral history that Nancy Lyons then spoke to for this newspaper article and subsequent others, could not and cannot hold up to factual documented genealogical records held by the State of New Hampshire, regarding Almira (nee: Rines) Ingerson, nor that of Flora Eunice (nee: Ingerson) Hunt.

The 4th document of this post is wherein Nancy Doucet herself (formerly)Millette-Cruger-Lyons AGAIN obtained yet ANOTHER so-called N.H. Govenor's "Proclamation" signed by none other than Gov. Jeanne Shaheen herself, declaring that July 6-7 Weekend is Native American Cultural Weekend. I conclude that this was yet another promotion of these Incorporations claiming to be Abenaki "bands" and or "tribes" and at the same time Nancy Lyons own self-promotion of herself through the usage of political access within the State of New Hampshire.

The 5th documented newspaper article is about this alleged "Abenaki Village" that allegedly Nancy Millette-Cruger-Lyons-Doucet's grandmother (who was Mabel Emma nee: Dyke - Hunt, wife of Reginald Ray Hunt) talked about to Nancy herself. Clearly in this article Dr. Dick Boisvert stated that the materials and items (artifacts) were all "left behind by the area's earliest peoples who paused here on their nomadic rounds some 10,000 or more years ago." hmmmmm. Interesting that genealogically speaking, some of Nancy's ancestors came into Jefferson, N.H. ca. early 1800's and NOT 10,000 years ago! Geesh, IF there were, was, or is an "Abenaki Village" that was inhabited in ca. 1850 or ca. 1875 to ca. 1881, you would think, and rightly so, there would be contemporary social, historical, and genealogical evidence of there being such a village of Abenakis living there in Jefferson, N.H. But there is NOTHING. Absoulutely nothing to even indicate that what Nancy Doucet (that's her married surname nowadays) was, or is, even true. Her published statements continue to puzzle me. It ought to puzzle a lot of people.

Some more thoughts on these stupid comments post on this "other" blog Abenaki Pride: Setting the Rocord Straight

MY RESPONSE: You make yourself "Mr. Johnson" more of a fool, than if you were to keep your idiotic misspelling adventures to yourself. First of all, I don't "hide" behind this label of "anonymous" or "Mr. Surname". Mr. Johnson you must get a thrill typing away as if you have no education to spell acting like your a ol' fashioned Yankee. Secondly, I have no intention of leaving N'dakinna, contrary to what some folks would hope that I would do. All these Incorporation- oriented wannabe "Bands" and or "Tribes" of alleged so-called "Abenakis in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts are simply not Bands or Tribes of anything legitimate. They may call their Inc.'s Abenaki this or that. They may have issued "Membership Cards", solicit Grants etc, and run Food Pantry like endeavors but ANYONE can "incorporate", issue membership cards, put out a Food Pantry, claim to be perpetuating Abenaki history both historically and contemporarily, etc. That doesn't substantiate that these "groups" so called Leaders (or representatives) are genuinely and genealogically connected to the legitimate Abenaki Peoples. Oh and these so called "Chiefs" are merely Presidents of their Incorporation's/ a.k.a. business agents or the like. It's like this question lingers: the egg (a historical cohesive continuous Abenaki COMMUNITY) or the chicken (created Incorporations brought into reality since the mid 1970's by going to the State issued papers, and then membership lists/cards, Food Pantry's, etc.) Anyone stupid enough to assume otherwise, just read this blog from beginning to end, you will find out that for years, these various Incorporations crop up like weeds and change every now and then their so called "Non-Profit Agents". Now isn't it interesting that whoever this person (supposedly a Mr. Johnson) is on this "other" blog, is still putting out their stupidity claiming that allegedly I am like some mad slobberin' hound dog chewin' & killin' chickens (Abenakis) and inferring that in the end, I will be all alone and will run back to Washington State, because supposedly this land and these groups I allegedly am not familiar with. Wishful thinking on anyone's part....... Documentation is what it is no matter what my commentary on such is. It is here for ANYONE to review. It really speaks for itself in the end, no matter what I have to say about any of it, or about anyone else!
I have MUCH MORE documention to PROVE my position and WHY I have created this blog in the first place. Sure, folks would just love if I just shut up, stopped exposing their deceit, and deception. They claim stupidly that I work for the GOVT. They claim I work with Paul Pouliot. They claim that this blog is disgusting and crap. Well, it is THEIR documented historical records. They say that it is my "behavior" that seperates me from them, not anything else. Why?, because I am showing ALL PEOPLE the historical records of each of these groups claiming today to represent and BE the Abenaki People of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts? Interesting, their way of "setting the Abenaki record straight". How can they deny the truth of their own created historical record documentations?! By trying to infer that I am some mean old hound dog who kills Keni Reds and then more chickens until there are none left?! Oh, gosh I am laughing some more. Sure, I love Chicken for Sunday suppers, but not every day.

Ain’t been able to keep up on what’s been agoingon, been terrible busy here on the farm. Sorry state of affairs going on.I got me a hound dog some time ago when a fella who moved out here from Washington state had to get a rid of it so he could move into one of them govmnet apartments. Nice dog it was, kinda happy and some excited about sniffing around here and looking for other doggies like him. I took Dog and a set him up on the farm and said “Dog, you’ll have a home here as long as you be good” . Even fed him in the house, instead of outside, and the neighbors even fed him when he was awandering around, Aunt Doris even made him a nice collar with a nice dog tag on it. Tried to make him comfortable here figuring must be hard for the pup to be away from the place he was bred and born. Dog was settling in mighty fine and came friendly with the chickens. Didn’t matter to him what kinda chicken, my Keni Reds (they’s got papers) or the plain old chickens who been scratching here for bout 10,000 years give or take. The chickens tolerated Dog, they knew he weren’t no chicken but never paid no mind. One day Dog got acting kinda funny, snapping at some of the chickens, and after that, some of them chickens wouldn’t have a thing to do with Dog and would just run away if they seen him a coming. Too bad all of em hadn’t done that very thing. Well, Dog got worser and worser, starting to drool and biting more and more. He went first for the old mongrol chickens, chomped them to pieces! And I swear by the good Lord that them Keni Reds were smiling behind their beaks, as they always thought they was a little bit better than their mongrol cousins and was happy to see em chewed up and spit out in a pile of drool and snot. They were a thinking that ole Dog never bit THEM before and they kept a clucking and scratching in the dirt, never looking behind em. Musta been quite a surpise when Dog pounced and took them down too. When the massacree was done, Dog looked around at all his old buddies, dead and bleeding on the ground, feathers strewn every which way, and the other chickens all run away, and you know what Dog did? He howled and howled, barking and bawling, wondering why he was all alone and where all his chicken friends had gone. I reckon the slobbering fits had taken ahold of his brain and he didn’t even figure out he had either kilt them or chased em off. Pathetic sight , it was. He hung his head real low, and afore I could stop him, he ran off, heading west, tail tucked betweein his legs.Ya know, they’s times dogs don’t set well in a new place, ain’t their land, the air s different and they’s always a looking for the rest of the litter they left behind. Mabe, when he gets back to where he come from, he’ll get better, but good golly, what a mess he’s left behind. Mr. Johnson
MY RESPONSE: As with ANY decent genealogically trained person, I posted and continue to post A LOT of online inquiries. This posting on either www.genforum.com and or www.ancestry.com's message boards was done in (let's see here) January 17, 2002. Since then, I have found much more documentation on this particular ancestral lineage of mine. By putting these inquiries online through these genealogical websites, I have found MANY descendants of the Woodward's and multiple other familial lineages. Obviously, these people who are a part of these Incorporations today would like to try and shut me down, and imply that I am crazy. Well perhaps I am crazy. I know I was crazy to have concluded that Homer St. Francis' "group" or any of these other "groups" out there were legitimately Abenakis in the first place, that they were operating with the honest integrity of the Ancestral Abenakis in mind or heart. More likely, as I know today, its all about the Incorporated Non-Profit PROFITS they line their pockets with! It's about STATUS, It's about EGO, It's about CONTROL, and It's about appropriating an IDENTITY that DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. Oh and yes, go to the first posting I put on this blog, I think I pretty much mentioned that Mark Leckie (me) = Douglas Lloyd Buchholz (me) is the same person already. I was also Mark Douglas Kingsley and Salmon Raven Deer too. That latter name I legally used for awhile. I have to laugh. Even at myself. (Crazy slobberin' hound dog that I allegedly am, I got to go foam at the muzzle some more and see if I can find some more Chickens in the hen house). But how can they deny that these documents are not their own historical records? Can anyone figure out that "these people" hiding under the name of anonymous and Mr. Johnson are not honest, even to use their real God-given names in full so that they can be directly known? They would rather throw their idiotic stupidity and slander around and then hide behind their computer screens! I have to laugh some more. So are the Abenaki Ancestors laughing, that these people claim to represent. I represent nobody, except myself, using my FULL NAME, LOCATION AND CONTACT INFO. What do these idiots on Abenaki Pride: Settting The Record Straight do, they "hide" and attempt to appear like they can defeat the truth of their own historical records! Oh almost forgot...... ..the telephone number in this old post of January 2002 has changed. It is now 788-2718. Ok, back to putting more of these documents online here on this blog.

(Mark Leckie is Doug Buchholz)Re: Wood(w)ards being abenaki/Indian/blkft??MLeckie3135 (View posts) Posted: 17 Jan 2002 10:40AM Classification: Query Surnames: Woodward Kwai (Hello);I am just thrilled to hear from someone out there that has heard something in regards to the Woodward's being of Native ancestry. If you can call me please do so this very evening at 603 788-4120. I'll reimburse you for the $$ to do so. I have alot to share with you as well. I have been researching this Woodward ancestry of mine for years as has other folks. My endeavor is to lock down and confirm or perhaps deny the oral history in the Woodward descendants that the ancestry was of (in part?) Indian/Abenaki. Right now I have my stronger side towards the reality that there is Native blood in the Woodwards. But nothing really definitively black and white. I've collected alot of oral history and alot of photographs, connecting to alot of other Woodward descendants. Please do communicate with me asap. I can call you if your comfortable with providing me with your phone number and address. Thankyou again so much for this wonderful reply. I look forward to hearing from you. (I don't care what time of the evening you call....so if its 1 am in the morning feel free to give me a call) Mark Leckie

Just a laugh or two at a commentary on this other blog:

On this other blog: entitled Abenaki Pride Setting The Record Straight
The purpose of this blog is to give a voice to the Abenaki People who wish to "set the record straight", repair damage to their reputations, and simply tell the truth as they see it. No personal attacks here, just a safe forum to respond to the blog "The Reinvention of the Vermont Abenaki" by Douglas Lloyd Buchholz. Don't let his rant become "history"!

Abenaki: Setting the Record Straight we get a commentary post from "Anonymous" said on September 16, 2009 9:08 ...
I don't know which is more disgusting, the things Douglas posts on his blog, the fact that Douglas posts this crap in the first place, or that anyone bothers to read it.

My response to this commentary by "Anonymous" is that NO ONE is required to read anything on my blog whatsoever. Any person who finds my postings or documentations "disgusting" or that think that what is on this blog amounts to quote "crap", then simply don't read what is on this Reinvention of the Vermont Abenaki blog. But I think there are MANY people who are just itching to see and review what documentation I do have and will expose to the light of day on a whole bunch of folks who claim to be Abenaki in Vermont and in New Hampshire. Some folks may conclude or imply that what I am putting on this blog is "disgusting" or that it's "crap". Well, look at the SOURCES of the documentation! I didn't create these historical documents. I merely collected them and began doing the genealogical and historical research to either verify their claims and I found that their claims were without foundation, just like the State Attorney General's Office has concluded. Now if I am wrong in my conclusions, then please by all means, then simply SHOW and PROVIDE the factual social, historical, and most definitely the supporting genealogical documentary evidence that proves me wrong in my conclusions. It's that plain and simple. Because, whether anyone likes it or not, it is my endeavor with the creation of this blog, to show to the Vermont and New Hampshire PUBLIC and to the Legitimate Abenaki People's (and their neighbors) the very documentary evidence, after all these years, just exactly why I have concluded as I have about these so-called alleged Reinvented (very likely illegitimate & fraudulantly-based and self-proclaiming) Abenaki "groups" inside both Vermont and New Hampshire! I am far from done putting the documentation onto this blog........and I will do so, as I can, in as chronological way as I possibly can.
So whoever this "Anonymous" is on this other blog, all I can say is no one~ especially not me, ever forced or forces anyone to read or look at my blog's documentation or commentary since day one of its creation back in late May or early June 2009.
