Comment on Chief Cornstalk: Shawnee Lineage by Nancey Boseman

Hi Doris (#195) I don’t know if I can help, but I did the Nelson Lineage for my mom (Age 94) in order for her to join the Daughters of the American Revolution. You can find her family tree with Ancestry under Public Trees,
called: irene kisamore family tree. Her mother was Martha Susan Nelson Kisamore and her grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Nelson. BFJ’s mother was Rebecca Lawrence (married to Allen H. Nelson), Rebecca’s mother was
Elizabeth Skidmore (married to Jacob Friend – Patriot) and Jacob’s Father was Israel F. Friend, who married Sarah Bokavar. This is where there is a question. Many say that Sarah Bokavar was the daughter of Chief Cornstalk and an Shawnee Indian, but no proof of that lineage has been proven. Please feel free to look at our family tree – there is an additional one for the Nelsons. If I can help-email me at nanceyboseman@yahoo.com. Good luck.
