Some Os Indian Reserve Mystery Is Being Lilted

MtiCh of the mystery concerning the true story of the Rivarre Indiah reserve in St. Mary’s townshipAias been lifted by information ill h book loaned to the Adams codfity historical society by Mrs. Vance, and in a letter from Iridian expert Luke J. Scheer. ’ Mdch information was available locally concerning the actual land transactions, but the life of Rivarre was practically unknown. However, a book from the exlyfaive library of the late O. L.

daughter of Chief Little Turtle, and considerable information on their lives. A geneology, obtained during years of research through historical libraries in Indianapolis, Detroit, and Washington, D.C., was given by Scheer, whose collection of photostatic documents on the Miamis is one of the best in the United States. The first Rivarre of which there is any evidence is Nicolas Ist. who was born in France in 1624, and died at Batiscan, Canada, in 1701. His son, Nicolas 2nd, was born at Three Rivers, Canada, 1654, and died in 1719. * Antoine Ist, son of Nicolas 2nd, was born in 1690, and died in 1778. His son, Antoine 2nd, was born in 1739 at Batiscan; he was married in 1767 to Felicity St. Marie at the Church of the Hurons, Sandwich (Windsor) Ontario; he died in 1812. His wife may have been a Huron Indian. Antoine 3rd, to whose children, the grant in Adams county was made, was the son of Antoine 2nd, and may have been a half-breed. More research will be done on this question. Since Indian trade was a princi;> al livelihood of French settlers at Detroit, it is probable that all Antoines traded among the Miamis. The sons naturally followed their fathers into the areas. „ A note found on the body of Augustus Mottin de Laßalme, November 3, 1780, states that a Mr. Rivard (the French spelling of the name was different on almost every occasion) of Detroit was at the Miami Village (Fort Wayne). Laßalme, under the influence of the success of George Rogers Clark in conquering the English at Cahokia Kaskaskia and Vinennes expedition against the pro-British French and English traders at the site of the present-day Fort Wayne. After pillaging the trading settlement. he in turn was ambushed

Antoine Rivarre N 0.5

THIS RIVARRE. born about 1841 after his father sold the Rivarre reserve in 1833-39, lived in Huntington county. His Indian name was Wape-mun-qua, or White Loon. He married an English school teacher, and she died in 1902. More information will probably be available after a thorough search of existing records. and his force annihilated. The note was returned to the British, and was found in their archives. This would have been Antoine 2nd. Antoine 2nd and his wife and daughter were also at the village (Fort Wayne) in the winter of 1789-90. when Henry Hay kept his journal of activities there. In Hay’s diary, parts of which were included in the book lent to the society by Mrs. Vance, he is mentioned prominently, together with his wife and daughter, whose marriage to J. B. Lasselle on February 23. 1790, is described. More of the diary will be obtained to give more details on the Rivarres. Antoine 3rd was born June 12, 1770, and he married a Miami. He is probably the "old Rivard" referred to by James G. Godfrey ina letter in 1833. Presumably Antoine 3rd was living near Monroe, Mich., where Godfrey’s parents lived in 1833. French traders of the Fort Wayne area often had their little posts in outlying Indian villages, with headquarters at Fort Wayne. White trading goods were received at that point, from Deroit, and taken out to the villages for trade. No information presently discovered shows that the man to whose children the reserve was granted ever actually lived in Adams county with his wife. A grant here does not necessarily indicate that. However, some grants were made for that reason. At this point the records in the Adams county recorder’s office and county clerk’s office pick ’up the Rivarres. They are.also prominent on old abstracts. The old reservation covering about 1.285.63 acres of land in sections 15, 16, 21, 22. 27, and 28 of St. Mary’s township in Adams county is more than a century old. The tract was granted to the children of Antoine Rivarre (the third> as two sections of land at the mouth of Twenty-Seven Mile Creek, and below the mouth of the same, in the treaty of October 6, 1818, between Jonathan Jennings, Lewis Cass, and Benjamin Parke, commissioners of the United States, and the Miami nation of Indians, at St. Mary’s, Ohio. An interesting thing about the grant is that it was not in the area generally covered by the treaty, but in that covered by a treaty one year earlier with the Wyandot tribe. The treaty of St. Mary’s made small land grants to many half-

Kil-So-Qua

THE WIFE OF Antoine Rivarre No. 4 and mother of No. 5 was a full-blooded Miami Indian, the granddaughter of Chief Little Turtle, the greatest war chief of the Miamis. She and her husband. whose Indian name was Shoo-pin-a-wah or Cha-pin-a-mois, or Thunderstorm, sold the east half of the reserve in St. Mary’s township. The west half was sold by Thunderstorm’s sister, To-Ka-Moise or Angelique. Their other brother Ma-Kota-Mum-qua. or Joseph, died young., blooded Miamis, in addition to Rivarre’s children. It also stated that th© president of the United States had to approve all land sales. According to an Allen county probate court case August 12, 1834, four witnesses, Gregorie Bondy, Francis D. Lasselle, Robert Hood, and Charles Menie, swore that they were acquainted with the Rivarre family, and that Antoine had three children: Joseph or Ma-Kota-mum-qua, who died without children “Some years ago”; Angelique Rivarre, or To-Ka-Mo-ise; and Antoine the 4th. On August 13, 1833. Angelique sold the undivided half of the reservation to James G. Godfrey for $1,200. He later brought the above action to establish who the children were, according to the treaty, since they were not enumerated. He had written his father from Fort Wayne, in a letter dated March 23, 1833, including the following,” ... I have had a section of Land by a certain person, Sami (brother) will tell you all about it. Keep quiet on account of old Rivard until the deed is approved by the President.” But Godfrey ran into financial difficulties, and during the September term of court, 1836, his “undivided section" was sold through a sheriff's sale to John B. Bourie, Fort Wayne Indian trader, and Francis Cqmparet, also a trader, for SBIB. Ibis was March 11, 1837. On the same date another deed was made, in addition to the sheriff's deed from Zachariah Smith. Jr., and this one included a payment of $2,568 to James G. Godfrey for the land and improvements. But this was an “undivided half” of the reserve. Bourie and Comparet promptly filed a |uft to determine the boundaries of their land, on October 14, 1837. The court was asked to divide the land between Bourie and Comparet, half-owners, and Antoine Rivarte, half-owner. Samuel L. Rugg, the founder of Decatur, Esaias Dailey, and Theron Harper were hamed commissioners to measure off the land. Jacob Huffer was surveyor, and received $34 for his labor. Antoine the 4th was declared a minor child, and Henry Cooper was appointed his guardman.

Stones Displayed At Scout Meeting Interesting Hobby _ Displayed By Kent Some 35 members of the American Legion Scout troop 63 and their guests viewed the display of semiprecious stones shown by Charles W. Kent of this city at the Decatur Community Center Thursday evening. A long tray was completely filled with glassed trays of finished stones of all kinds and colors and with polished slices of stones. Many contained beautiful designs of scenes or flowers inlaid through the stones. Stones exhibited and identified by Kent during his 30-minute lecture included rutilated quartz with its gold lines; Montana and Brazilian agates, flint from Ohio, a petrified sponge from the Pacific coast, a Kimberley matrix from a diamond mine in Arkansas, quartz crystal, colored agates from Texas. plumed agates from Idaho, layer or seam agates in brown and white, known as cameo agates; and a large Mexican agate. Others described but not shown were opals from Mexico; and the many shades of jade—white, various greens, dark pink, and pure black. He also described the sawing or slicing of stones, and cutting, matching and polishing of stone for use as gems. Kent’s hobby had an interesting beginning. He had a dream of visiting every state in the union and of gathering a stone from each. He came upon a precious stone in the west several years ago, and has followed the hobby of “rock hunting” ever since. The report was filed February 16, 1838, and the judgment was completed during the May term, 1838. Comparet and Bourie were awarded the west half. However, on December 16, 1833, W. G. And G. W. Ewing, Fort Wayne traders who amassed a great fortune in the middle west, bought the east or upper half of the reservation for SBOO from Angelique and Antoine the 4th Since one of them had already sold the "undivided half” and since SBOO was a pretty low price, apparently the president never approved of sale. At least there is no record of the land having been resold to the Rivarres, while at the same time they owned it in 1837-38. Antoine the 4th, or Shoo-pin-a-wah (Cha-pin-a-Mois>, which means Thundersorm. was determined the owner* of the east half of the reserve by the court action. He and his wife. Kil-so-qua, then residents of Huntington county, Ind., sold the east section of the land to James G. Godfrey for 11,200 on April 6, 1839. Godfrey then resold the land November 16, 1839 to W. G. And G. W. Ewing, who had purchased it in the first place in 1833 for $1,620. This part contained approximately 663 acres. When one of the two Ewing* brothers died, it was partitioned into lots and divided among the heirs. At the time when the two Indians sold the two sections for $2,400. land was generally selling for about $1.25 an acre. Their sale amounted to $1.86 an acre. Os course much greater prices were paid at the auctions in those days for extra good land. What became of Antoine the 4th and his wife? Their son, born was in 1814 named Antoine the sth, *White Loon, or Wa-pe-mun-qua> and he married an English school teacher, who died in 1902. Kil-so-quah, Antoine the 4th's wife, lived to be 105 years of age, and died in 1915. She was born in 1810 on the island formed by the two forks qf the wabash river two miles west ofi Huntington. Her father was Wak-shin-gah. a son of Chief Little Turtle. Her mother was was the daughter of She-mock-o-nish, a Miami warrior. Antoine the 4th died in 1849. After his death the widow lived with her son, Antoine the sth, <?r White Loon. Some relatives were known to be living in this area as recently as 1917.

His dream ha« sow come true, and Mr. end Mrs. Kent have travelled in every state and have a stone from each one. Kent was especially proud of the latest copy of "Gems and Minerals,” a national magazine, which features one of his rocks on the cover, and Includes an article about him.
