helloLarry
Ijust found my longsearched for connectionbetween my family and chief Logan's family.I am also looking for more family of hissiblings.so anyway you can go tofamily tree dnaforumboardsand search forthe words Loganand Shoebootsand orNortons diary , but Nortons diaryhad the keys to findthingsthat triggered a memory I have been trying to connect with any recordedfacts for 15 years.I knew thatthe Logan family was some how connected to Shoeboots family andYippee!I figure it out finally.and yes I do knowa few of the connections in the men you mentioned but at this time am unwilling to share because I can't provethem yet with white folks records that is .and unless I cando that I don't share what I really(think I remember )know I was told mostly because most of the stories I was soyoung it is only bits of the storiesthat I remember sometimes .and I would hate to get them mostly wrong when I like to try and getthe storiesmostly right.
Sometimesthings are forgotten for reasons, and some of these connections I thinkhave been forgotten for reasons too.sounless I can prove a thing from two or ever three sources It just isn't worth the fight. butIdo suspect the connections you are lookingforbetween these men isthe info I just foundin Nortons diary and what I had spent many years looking foror to be able to connect too also.ithas to do with Logan's motherand her family connections I think.I hope that helps.
