| Note | This lady is a mystery, even her name is suspect, many family researchers have: Teresa Razeau dit Souligny - come to find out the french word "dit" means "also called"
The most knowledgeable source possibly, Lloyd Boshaw of Temecula has: Teresa /Razeau or Souligny/
I found 2 fairly primary sources for her name -
The First:
Solomon Boshaw Michigan Marriages, 1822-1995
<i>Event Type: Marriage
Event Date: 23 Sep 1899
Event Place: Ferry, Oceana, Michigan, United States
Event Place (Original): Ferry, Oceana, Michigan, United States
Gender: Male
Father's Name: A. Boshaw
<b>Mother's Name: T. Ransy
</b>Spouse's Name: Hester Erdley
</i>The Second: Ward-Munger, Varnum-Martin genealogy 1926
<b>Appendix I</b> - H E N R Y WARD F A M I LY
The 5th child:
5 Jane-III (or Eugenia), b. May 28, 1873, in Bosanquet.
Married
<b>Charles L. Boshaw,</b> b. Apr. 20, 1874; son of <b>Joseph Boshaw
of Kimball, Mich, and Sawyer. Joseph
was the son of Antoine Beauchamp, 1783-1857, and
Tracy Razeau, 1799-1843.</b> Charles' mother (Joseph's
wife) was daughter of John Sawyer, 1772-1872, and
Eliza Wilberson, 1794-1854. Charles and Jane live at
436 Hermansaw St, Saginaw, Mich.
C H I L D R E N 1:
Mervyn, b ; married
<b>Teresa (Marie Therese?) -</b> I believe one of the reasons for adding Marie to the name is because there are records of a Marie daughter of a Souligny (The Souligny that may be the French Canadian grandfather of the Chief)
<b>Chief Souligny

"A war chief of the Menominee tribe, born 1785. His grandfather was one Souligny, an early French trader, who married a Menominee woman. In 1812 Souligny was one of a large party of Sioux, Winnebago, and Menominee which, under the British Colone l Robert Dickson, captured the fort at Mackinaw from the Americans. The following year Souligny with about 50 warriors, and White Elk, a chief of distinction, united with Tecumseh in time to participate in the battle of Fort Meigs, on the Miam i river, Ohio..." "In March, 1855, Souligny and Oshkosh, another Menominee chief, visited the office of the Milwaukee Sentinel and asked that the editory give publicity to their petition for the return of an Indian child who had been kidnapped b y the whites. At this time Souligny was 70 years of age, but spoke with all of the enrgy of one in the prime of life. He is described as being a stout, good-looking man, despite the loss of one eye. He died of erysipelas in December 1864, at hi s home on the west bank of Wolf River, Wisconsin, at what is known as the Great Falls. His portrait, painted by Samyel Brookes, is in the possession of the Wisconsin Historical Society at Madison, Wisconsin." (Bureau of American Ethnology--Bulle tin 30, Part 2 -- Smithsonian Institute Pare 618.) The article was dated Thursday, March 8, 1855, in The Daily Sentinel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is VERY interesting reading.
Note: A relative notes that his Indian name was Shu-nu-ni-u and he was of the Bear people, Menominee. |
