Guess I should have added a (/s) in my post. No, of course “Jane” isn’t Iroquoian, that was a joke. Some thirty years ago, the Jamestown Park folks let us in to their records so we were able to fill in a lot of info. Yes, everyone claims they’re related to the chief. He seems to be a catch all but then he might have had several daughters and traded for them, who knows. By the next generation they were marrying English settlers.
Ah LOL!!!! Sorry I didn’t catch the sarc....I’ve heard stories like that too many times. :)
The “Jane” first name is actually more believable than the “Eagle Plume” last name. Here’s a few native Iroquois names from the mid-1600s: Daniel Garakontie, Marie Tsaouente, Catherine Gandeaktewa. Christian first name, native name used as a last name.
Anyway, check this out. This seems to be the person promoting him *rolling eyes*:
