  1. 1.  Esther Cutewah Cornstalk was born 1751, Shawnee Nation, OH; died Aft 1786.

    Notes:

    As the daughter of Chief Cornstalk and niece of Tecumseh of the Shawnee nation, most probably this connection to the Greater Huron Nations and the Algonquin Indian tribes saved the family and helped them to return Virginia by 1775 to 1777. Thomas Soward was familiar with the Turkey Cove area in the Powell Valley, in what is now Scott County VA, as Thomas Berry, William McGaughy, and he went there to hunt buffalo in 1770 or 1771.
