Records used for this document include the Archiquette and Powless Diaries, census and annuity rolls, and the Episcopal Church Records: Births, Baptisms, Burials, Deaths and Marriages; allotment records; civil war records. There are discrepancies from one source to another.
The greatest challenge is to separate out names of individuals and spellings. For example: there may appear a Henry Stevens and Henry Stephens. It may be two spearate individuals, or two separate ways of spelling the name. Another approach in determining if more than one individual shares the same name, is to scrutinize the pattern of activity. For example, it would be difficult for John Doxtator to have fathered a child in 1853 if he was listed as having died in 1850. It would seem obvious it is a different John Doxtator.
The documents are not all inclusive. There were excerpts from the Episcopal Records. There may be many more pages. These documents are available at the University of Wisconsin Area Resource Center (7th floor) at the Coffrin Library.
This document will continue to be updated as information/resources become available. It is designed to provide a "beginning" for those interested in researching family members or particular individuals. The intent was to follow the time frame from 1821, the time Oneidas came to Wisconsin, until 1939, the time of the WPA project. This seems to be a sketchy period of time among the Oneida people. Very little written information is available.
While there may be other sources that discuss specific historical events, this document is intended to look at the people. Historical events can be concluded within this time frame by looking at the activity that occurred in individual's lives, such as the small pox epidemic. Pulling names and time periods will give a good indicator of who died and when during this epidemic.
The more information that is added to this document, the easier it is to see the inconsistencies. For example, a Mary Hill who was 34 on the 1885 census in not likely to be the same Mary Hill who is listed as 28 on the 1905 census.
Footnootes on entries symbolized with "RG" indicates information provided by Rose (Powless) Guyette. Spouses listed after allotment entries may not necessarily mean that person was married at the time of allotment to the spouse indicated, but through research on the part of Rose Guyette, became married at some point in time to the person indicated directly after the allotment entry.
Episcopal Church Records-Burials: It appears burials may have been registered in the name of the person who was responsible for the same. It may not necessarily mean it was that person that was buried, but rather possibly a family member.
