The name Bokavar never appears in any documentation. It was used in a fictional account publication by Corinne Lynn Hanna. Bokavar, Tales from the Story Fires is a fabricated story using Israel Friends life to tell a story. A woman named Sarah may have been married to Israel, and she may have been native American, but her surname was certainly not Bokavar or Bachoffen ( as one individual suggested and with todays copy and paste genealogists the incorrect information has spread like a virus). I have DNA test 5 individuals from the line of John V. House and none of them show any Native ( or Asian) DNA of any kind.
