If these men married Ojibwa women it is no wonder why he married one. The family has never been able to find any pictures of them. Would you possibly have access? Also, we've never been able to find where he and Elizabeth were buried. Any ideas? Thanks.<br /><br />Mark Nyberg<br />nybergtreefarm@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653871537972622949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290862664682736968.post-29263316786539817852022-06-16T20:29:20.106-05:002022-06-16T20:29:20.106-05:00Casey,
So sorry for the delay in getting back to...Casey, <br /><br />So sorry for the delay in getting back to you! I have been doing more research but would love to get to the Wisconsin Historical Society library in Madison. I will be in Green Bay in early December for a family wedding. I built in an extra day on our schedule to drive to Madison for that purpose.<br /><br />Weird, my brother is named Charles Clyde Ackley. It was only recently that I found out that my paternal grandmother had a big say in our names. I will transcribe the letter that your great-grandfather sent to my great-grandfather and send it to you. I'll be happy to share all of my research with you. Are you a member of the Sokaogon Chippewa tribe? I know your Great-great grandfather married an Indian woman, so your great-grandfather was at least half Indian.<br /><br />I've been a member of the tribe since birth. My grandmother made sure that all of us were on the rolls. When the treaty was finally settled with the United States in 1991, I received a check for a couple thousand dollars. (The payment was determined by how much Native blood you had). There was one Casino profit payment of several hundred dollars in 1995. After that time, the tribe put all Casino profits back into the reservation for sewage lines, paved streets, and Elder housing. <br /><br />I'm happy to guide you through the enrollment process, should you want to do that. <br /><br />Please contact me directly at my email: StuartWAckley@outlook.com<br /><br /><br />Yours, <br />Stuart Ackley<br /><br />Stuart Ackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253561724703333459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290862664682736968.post-12810373171091941882022-04-16T23:08:44.344-05:002022-04-16T23:08:44.344-05:00Stuart,

I know my Great Grandfather Clyde lived in Longview, and he would've been about mid to late 20's at that timeframe, but not sure about my Great Great Grandfather. I was just doing some reading/research and came across this post. My grandfather Charles is the only one left that I have contact info for that knows a lot more about my Great x3 grandpa John. My dad or one uncle may know a bit more than I do, but our knowledge is minimal, sadly. What the back of his gravestone has inscripted, plus the stories about the trading post are about all I know. <br /><br />The crazy thing about these names, before I found out about the stories with Chief Ackley a few years ago while researching some, I used to work with a Charles Ackley at a Ford dealership here in Aberdeen, Wa where I live. I asked him if he knew any family history from the mid-1800's to early 1900's that may have included Wisconsin and the tribe, but he did not have any knowledge that he could think of at the time. I just thought it was interesting and possibly a crazy small world.<br /><br />I would love to read through any information that you may have when you finish your book. I have not had a chance to venture back to Hogarty or the Crandon area, but I am hoping I can in the next couple years for a summer trip. My dad went back a few years back while visiting my step-sister down in Muscoda, Wi.<br /><br />Take care and good luck with your book!<br />-Casey HogartyCasey Hogartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150036135492912635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290862664682736968.post-73589388534393168652022-03-23T05:53:01.801-05:002022-03-23T05:53:01.801-05:00Thanks for posting photo of Etta Space.

"Family values" seem to have suffered in that rugged frontier village, where there was no church for its first quarter century. Zeph and Margaretta divorced after 30 years of marriage, just four months before Etta married Myron McCord, who divorced his wife to marry Etta. pentland club walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849694422687772238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290862664682736968.post-66300080052258004902021-03-14T18:54:18.298-05:002021-03-14T18:54:18.298-05:00Dear Cindy,

I know that Willard went up to northern Wisconsin at the urging of John Hogarty and that they operated a trading post with the Mole Lake Chippewa.<br /><br />I have a letter written to my great-grandfather Charles Ackley by a Hogarty son who reminisced about their childhoods. The letter came from Longview, WA in the early 1920s. I'd be happy to share it with you if you would like.<br /><br />If you could share any information you have about John Hogarty and his two wives, I would really appreciate it for my book.Stuart Ackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253561724703333459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290862664682736968.post-8421394710502868622020-01-09T18:51:08.456-06:002020-01-09T18:51:08.456-06:00My wife and I are leading a group from Wisconsin t...My wife and I are leading a group from Wisconsin to Hawaii that will include former Governor Scott Walker.

It's one of the reasons I singled out my grandmother for her adventurous attitude. She was raised in a very strict Baptist family - I would love to know what her family thought about her dressing up as a man! - i think this is a glimpse into the type of woman she was - possibly not what she would have shared with her granddaughter. I have a couple of other photographs at first glance looks like a man ... until you take a closer look. I don't recognize the photo subject leading me to believe my grandmothers friends were just as adventurous. Thank you for taking time to visit my blog & leaving a comment.<br /><br />Fondly,<br />CindyCindy Bergeron Scherwinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914162114038936304noreply@blogger.com
