After further Internet research and getting in touch with family members
I’ve been informed not to use any of the information in Don Green’s books. My family line is in Shawnee Heritage VII and we know for a fact dates he has listed a incorrect, marriages are incorrect and he has children listed belonging to the wrong parents. Guess it’s a good thing I decided to do some extra investigating on my own. Also he has my 7th great grandmother listed as Sarah “Bokavar” listed as Shawnee when there is no proof, other than a fictional novel. Bokavar was not her surname and purely made up for the purpose of the novel. My line runs from Isreal Friend in case anyone was wondering. Also there is conflicting info on as to who Sarah’s parents would have been as the dates do not match up for her to belong to Cornstalk or the other man that Don Green claims is her father.

I was also informed there are no state or federally recognized bands of Shawnee in the state of Ohio.
