I have the following:
(1) TenBears (Gordon Para Wa Samen O'Owatie, Paramount Principal Chief Ani-Giduhwa O'Ouka of the Tsalagi) told me, in reference to the kidnapped Osborne boy: “Your ancestor is listed as being of descent of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, whose mother was Tsalagi (Cherokee). In your case, the Osborne [boy] was passed off to the Tsalagi (Cherokee), and was raised as a Tsalagi, and married into the Tsalagi. The Osbornes married into the Tsalagi (Cherokee) Mattripony, Panmunkeys, and Catawba Nations. Your affiliation shakes out in the Cherokee Nation. We also doubled checked the Dr Emmett Starr directory to make sure, and then shook down a few more trees to be doubly sure. He did sit at a treaty of 1744 in Lancaster, Penna in the Houdensaunee Delegation. Last we track him he is with Dragging Canoe in 1774. You have a line that goes back a long way, beyond the 1300's if you will only listen and accept."
(2)I have a copy of a newspaper article in which a kidnapping of a Osborn boy is detailed. The year of the kidnapping in the newspaper article and the facts as stated by TenBears do not match!
(2) I speculate that the Osborne boy was the son of William Osborne, who at the age of about nine (in about 1663) was kidnapped by the Susquehannock Indian Tribe; was then traded to the Cherokee Tribe who raised him; and that he eventually became ‘a Chief’.
(3) I now actually have membership in the tribe. However TenBears (now deeased) did not give me the tribal name of the Osborn boy or the dirct lineage!
