Blue Jacket GENEALOGY
Second Edition
Lineage credits
A compendium of Shawnee Indians
INTRODUCTION
This work was a collaboration of Blue Jacket
relatives in the 1980's and early 1990's. The last entries were in 1995. The
advent of the Internet has renewed interest and Blue Jacket bloods are
electronically updating entries. The original authors were:
Norma Lee (Gore) Luallen
John (Jack) William Kincaid
Lois (Cissy) (Greenfeather) Nowlin
Beulah Virginia (Blue Jacket) Slack
Viola Jean (Lafalier) Meek
Marylen (McKenzie) Williams
Marylen Williams of Tulsa OK is the only surviving
member and is no longer involved in this genealogy. Norma Lee Luallen typed the
original manuscript and Jack Kincaid entered it on his computer, however, the
latter work did not survive in digital form. Katherine Roberta (Hightower)
Kincaid, the Shawnee wife of Jack, from Norman OK, made Luallen's manuscript
available for copying and one is on file at the Vinita Public Library in Vinita
OK. Luallen's original work is archived in the Rapides Parish Library in
Alexandria LA.
The Blue Jacket GENEALOGY is again a work in progress.
There have been some significant changes since the first manuscript was
completed in 1995. Entries were numbered and those are brought forward, but new
entries are not numbered. The original page numbers are maintained and no new
page numbers are used. Entries are ordered by date of birth in each family. New
entries are simply added to the page in which it belongs but a page number may
cover several 81/2x11 sheets of hardcopy. A few of the original page numbers may
not have any entries at all now. To compensate for all this, the Index is also
edited to help in searching for entries. Many entries will never be edited for
this or future editions. A large number of Blue Jacket blood families simply
have no interest in the history of their ancestors. The posting of this work on
the Internet makes it available for everyone with access to a computer and,
hopefully, will attract others who would like to update their family.
