In My Song "Renegade Soldier"



In My Song "Renegade Soldier", I try and point out the Ambiguity in Simon Girty's story, and i find I may of added to it, but one thing is sure there are contrary accounts of him and in an effort to show my point i need to do future investigations, but the more i look the more questions i have, Simon Girty was called a Traitor to his country yet he was born in Indian country before the united States was born, Many of the fur traders had "country Wife's" Indian Brides, they bonded in this way , they also were tight amongst themselves and the Indian,  Many time young ones were adopted into the tribes and raised as one of them, as was Simon Girty, but there are  very complicated issues that culminated in this happening, what started out as a Drunken brawl between his father and and Indian Named the fish ended up in the vengeful death of his father and step father whom likewise avenged, but to complicate it further his second father was a lieutenant and had the family at the fort during an uprising in avenging the death of there fellow Indian they took the children and adopted them. I'm in doubt to the maternal parentage of Simon, he is described as having Black hair and Black eye, not the traits of the Irish Man, He is described as being a blood thirsty villain yet it is know that he saved life's and each side had there share of atrocities, It is stated that his father was tossed of off Indian land because of there complaints of the settlers yet he was a licensed trader had rented prop from
Thomas Mckee whom was the one benefiting on numerous occasion
we see that Thomas Mckee not only rented land but sponsored
Traiders, Including lending money to Simon sr for his grubstake.The
interesting thing about Mckee is his trading post was a key spot for
activity between the six nations and the authorities, they on at-lest one
occasion had meet there and the result of that meeting was that it was
clear that some people had preference with the Indians and
they were there to do business with them (the Traders) and the only ones
doing the forced removal was the Provential Authorities,outside there
jurisdiction, while appearing at the same time to enforce what else Taxation
I suspect tampering with this post

Potawatomi Warriors Missions and Métis

Potawatomi Warriors Missions and Métis Compiled By Kevin Lajiness 1660-1750. 1660 the Potawatomi were agricultural, and their movement south after 1680 was most likely motivated by a desire for better soil.

The Algonkin remained important French allies until the French and Indian War (1755-63) and the summer of 1760.

Kevin Lajiness 1 min  ·  Linwood, NJ  · It was Said That Pierre Roy, My Ancestor, was at Detroit before Cadillac (Pontiac was a typo) and he married a Miami named Margaret Ouabankikoue, this was told to me by my father as a child and the marriage was confirmed to me much later in life , now i have found the evidence that shows he was at Detroit before Cadillac.
