Lady "G"
Gloria Hazard Miller    7/6/07

Actually this is Lady "G" -- Gloria Hazard Miller.  I've gotten carried away on including indirects in my family tree.  Some years back a relative in Rhode Island was going to "hook me up" with Dr. Sekatau and never did.  I had been working on my family tree for years and then decided I would work on the Narragansett side of the family tree myself about nine years.  The last five years I've had five major surgeries and was in and out of the hospital.  I haven't been out now for 18 months.  So what else is left to do.  I now have 25,000 individuals in this tree -- mostly from the south.  I am trying hard to stop.  There's a compulsive behavior problem -- it appears to me. But I've spoken with people who have over 40,000 whew....  I've gotten so many people in this thing I don't even know who's in it anymore.  I get calls/emails from around the globe and I have to say "wait a minute let me check it out".  People have contacted me and I contact people.  I think if I know something I should share it.
 
Over the last three months I've been in contact with three white women who discovered they had people of color in their background.  They were surprised.  I think if people worked their trees so many more would be surprised at their ancestry.  I've discovered links to people of all "so-called races".  We are so interconnected since the centuries of the beginning of human life on this planet.  I tell all my friends if I keep going they will also be linked in.  Of course some want me STOP now.
 
It's like individuals are directing me in this thing and I find obits surfacing sometimes on the day of a distant relatives' funeral on sites I didn't even know existed. It's really weird these days.  I have a urge to look at something and that's where it leads.  I had that same feeling about the Tattoons who I didn't even know existed before 3 days ago.  I've been looking at people of color in Connecticut who have interesting stories no matter how indirect they are to me.  The Tattoons certainly seem to have been around for a long time in New London and Windham County, Connecticut.  This just happens to be the area where these three woman live.  I'm trying not to look to see where that would lead.
 
Harvard is doing research on African Americans who fought in the American Revolution.  There were at least 5,000.  New England has a history of active people of color and sometimes it really upsets me to think back to how these individuals were treated after serving.  You get caught up in this history thing as well.  I've looked at the Glasco/Glasko/Glasgow family and the founding of Griswold.  I'll stop now I can't write the book today. 
 
Your name surfaced on the "net" so I decided you may be Julian Jr's daughter or grand. Well it was worth the try.  Sometimes links are no longer active.  These days you can go back a few hundred years in just a couple of hours.  Just a few years ago you had to go to libraries and historial societies.  To day more and more information is being made available.  I just happened to contact an individual about 4 months ago and now I'm waiting to see him tomorrow night on PBS' History Detectives regarding the civil war.  This individual grew up a few short miles from where I live still live today.  I think this is exciting.
 
I can't send you the other items right now but will get back to you.  David is my husband.

Yes, these are my family members, David. Are you a family member also? Are you working on the genealogy also? Thank you for the information. I didn't know she had passed away. I was looking for her number to call her again. I had interviewed her a few years ago and she had a lot to lend to the mystery of the Tattoon Family. Please write back and fill me in on anything you have. By the way, how did you find me? How did you get my email address? Jackie

The most recent email I sent you came back undeliverable.  I'm sending again but it's formatting funny.  I don't know why.
 
You never know what may cross our paths - I decided to look again at the Narragansett Dawn pub after I emailed you. Guess what? There was one short blurb about the Tattoon family in the August 1936 edition on page 80.  I had read it before but it hit me this time.  Go check it out...
http://digitalcommons.uri.edu/sc_pubs/5/
   
I had heard that Dr. Seketau was more Wamponoag although very active
with the Narragansett family line.  I find that most of the Indian
people I know have a black ancestry as well but don’t want to talk about it.  You have your black Indian here and your white Indian there, etc.  Many people didn't want anyone to know about the African part and so dropped the issue and married lighter.  There are so many family lines that have done that and the last three weeks I've come across several.  Many doctors issued birth certificate stating that the infant was white to help avoid discrimination in education, etc.
   
If you haven't already checked out this site go visit.
http://www.brothertownindians.org/index.html
   
   
Just recently the Nipmucs were granted back some of their land after one of the owners died in a motor cycle accident.  The brother stated that his brother came to him in a dream and told him to give the land back to the Indians that once dwelled there.  He gave the land back on June 21st the solstice this year.  The Wampanoag has a possible burying group that has surfaced, as well as the Narragansetts, etc.  I think this must be an exciting time because people who didn't know the other existed are finding one another.  My cousins, whom I don't know and never met are running the Mashuntucket Pequot casino and museum.  They were formerly members of the Narragansett Nation but dropped it for the Pequot.  I'm going to look at what you sent me again.  I notice you stated that I said they were black -- it's the record --- there was probably some African in the bloodline.  It appears more and more information is being made available almost daily.
   
Did you know that a lot of family lines are being removed from the Narragansett Nation over the last several years?

I like your thoughts on tribal names - it must be a name that reflects what you feel you are inside.
 
When I was in school it was a theory that was taught.  I believe DNA has now taken it beyond the theoretical.   Native Americans via Asia / Siberia not Europe.  I never heard that about all indians coming from Europe.  I had a friend surnamed Ericson who descended from Leif Ericson/Erikson.  I'm sure you studied about Eric the Red in school history.  These Europeans are said to have left white-indian/Norse Indian children.  This is where you probably have the EuroIndian connection.  Check out the latest research in DNA - Geneology. Check out this map - http://www.pbs.org/saf/1406/features/dna2.htm
 
Native Americans leaving Rhode Island and Connecticut were Christians trying to escape alcohol abuse and general influence of the Europeans who wanted all of their land.  There was NOT a direct trek to Wisconsin. Read this -- http://www.mpm.edu/wirp/ICW-157.html
 
Yes, those Sebastians you mention come down the line from Manuel (b 1816) and Tamar (b 1825) Sebastian.  I have never met any of them personally.  Some years back I was in touch with individuals at the museum and informed them that Narragansetts and other Native nations here in the northeast were taken into slavery into the Carribean during the triangular trade.  I was researching my past and came across much historical info.  I know that there has been a coming together of the Mashuntukets with Carribean counterparts since that time.
 
My grandmother Viola Hazard Hazard wife of Henry Hazard son of Albert and Amanda left South County in the very early 1920s joining her brother Benjamin Hazard in New Haven --  she died a couple of years later in Connecticut leaving two toddlers -- she died after childbirth (baby 3) and the baby died a week later.  My father went to South County as a youngster as well as some of my first cousins.  They didn't live very long lives either and have now passed on with the exception of one.
 
This is from my ancestor's file
Louisa’s (Hazard) husband, Albert Sebastian, drowned in Potter Pond in 1903, falling thru the ice close to shore in front of their house. (Louisa was my grandmother's grandmother.)
 
Ten years earlier two of her and Albert’s sons drowned in Wash Pond.  The Sebastiens come from Groton where their father settled after arriving on a Whaler from Hawaii where he was born. (South County, RI - notes from Jeff Howe, Historical Society Researcher)

That's very interesting what you said about the Indians coming over thru Canada. So are you saying we came from Asia instead of Europe? What do you mean, "...mingled together in NY before Wisconsin"?

I don't know why you are having trouble with the email. If you want, you can sent your emails out to JTaliai@aol.com with a cc to JTaliai@yahoo.com so one or the other will reach me (you'd think!) I don't understand that. I think it has to do with the new spam laws and filters all the email isp's are using.

How do you check the boat logs and such? I have some cousin-in-laws by the surname of Sebastian in New London. Maybe they are related. We have William Obediah Jr & Sr, Mark, DawnRae, Louise; all Sebastians. They are living on the reservation.

I have some articles about the Brothertown. Are you saying you are inerested in information about that? Let me know & I'll send it to you. I will look up your surnames tonite in my book and see what they have there. My wrists are swollen tonite, so I'm turning in early. Talk to you tomorrow. I have plans to set up a website eventually to interact with others re: genealogy, esp. my bloodlines and see how far I can get with that. I may set it up tomorrow if I can figure out the best way to do it. Tell me if you have any thoughts for that.

I'm also trying to think of a tribal name for myself. So far I like TigerEye, TigerPaw, SilverFox, Rain...

The links open for me -- maybe if you do a search for vital records you can find a way in.

  I haven't done much research on this family but who knows where it
will go amongst the other Narragansett lines.  I spent one day looking at
it because of the Chief Pine Tree - Medicine Man Wilcox connection.
  So what do I know anyway.

EARLY HISTORY OF WINDHAM COUNTY

In the early commerce between the colonies of Massachusetts and Connecticut a popular route over the land was through the region now covered by Windham county. Remote from the sea shore, and possessing no navigable lakes or rivers, it was perfectly reasonable that this territory should be for a time overlooked, or rather that it should be passed by as a goodly land for the home-seekers in a new world to locate upon. Accessibility by water was to the first settlers an almost absolutely essential feature in any site chosen by them for the planting of a little colony. But we may well imagine that the fertile valleys and hills of this beautiful region, and the picturesque attractions of the future Windham did not long remain unnoticed. The land became known to the English about the year 1635. When, about that time, the early colonists began to traverse the hideous and trackless wilderness, on the way from Massachusetts to the Connecticut river, tradition tells us their encampment for the night was on Pine hill in Ashford. A rude track, called the Connecticut Path, obliquely crossing the Wabbaquasset country, became the main thoroughfare of travel between the two colonies. Hundreds of families toiled over it to new homes in the wilderness. The fathers of Hartford and New Haven, ministers and governors, captains and commissioners, government officials and land speculators, crossed and recrossed over it. Civilization passed to regions beyond but made no abiding place here for more than half a century.

On of the most indefatigable land speculators of that period was Mr. John Winthrop. In Massachusetts, in Rhode Island, in Connecticut and upon Long Island his tracks may be seen, as, first in one locality and then in another, he obtained title more or less perfect to the wild lands occupied by the Indians. Here in the territory now occupied by Windham county he was the first Englishman to receive from the natives a deed for an indefinite quantity of land. This conveyance beats date November 2d, 1653, and purports to have been given by James, sachem of Quinebaug, and confirmed by Massashowitt, his brother, and also to have been made with the consent, full and free ; of Aguntus, Pumquanon, Massitiarno, his brother, and Moas, and all the rest of the chief men of these parts; The confirmation by other than James was made on the 25th of the same month, the writings being witnessed by Richard Smith, Samuel Smith, John Gallop, James Avery and William Weloma
