Hello, my name is Helen Siers (Johnson). My fourth great grandfather was Israel Friend who married Sarah Bokavar Hokolesqua, sister of Cunnawehala b. 1690, Sowege Gliding Swan 1710-1820, Keigh tugh gua Cornstalk 1720-1777, Holowas Silver Heels 1730-1804, (all with the last name Hokolesqua Cornstalk). They are the children of Akulusska Ben Whitfish Hokolesqua Cornstalk 1662-1777. Cinnawehala was among the 6 chiefs who gave Israel Friend the land. Akulussa Ben’s father was Opeecham Stream Hokolesqua Cornstalk married Pasmere Carpenter, When Iarael died he made arrangements for John Valentine House to marry Sarah or she would lose the land as Indians weren’t allowed to own land. She was the wife of Joseph Adkins at some time in her life. My grandmother was Mary Friend, G granddaughter of Sarah and Israel. I have a picture of myself at the house they lived in. It is also pictured on Google, as for Israel Friend Frontiersman.
