My 4th g. grandmother was Sarah Bokavar Hokolesqua Cornstalk married Israel Friend (family came from Sweden) who was my grandmother’s 3rd. great grandfather. Sarah was born 1711 and married Israel in 1725 in Jamestown, VA. She was the daughter of Akulusska Ben White Sun Fish Hokolesqua Shawnee. Akuluuska’s father was Opeecham Stream Hokolesqua whose father was Opechancanough Mangopeesomon Powhatan. Sarah is the sister of Cunnawehala, Sowege Gliding Swan , Keigh Taug Qua (Chief Cornstalk), Holowas Silver Heels. Cunnawehala was one of the chiefs of the 5 Indian nations that gave Israel the land. Google “Israel Friend frontiersman” and read in the book “Tales from the camp fires” and it says that Cunnawehala is her oldest brother. Sarah married John Valentine House as soon Israel died as he and Israel were close friends and he married her to keep the home and goods for her and her children. John and Sarah had children. I wish I knew how to get in touch with a chief as Chief Cornstlk is my 4th. great uncle. I am also related to Opeachancanough through my Carpenter family as Thomas Carpenter (Moytoy) is a son of Richard Carpenter.
