I've recently found a cousin who is descended from Matilda Ellen
Erickson, b abt 1856 where? who married Stephen Jesse "Hawk" Scobee b
Mar 14, 1851 in Putnam Co., MO., and she says Matilda was Native
American. Anyone know about that? Their daughter, Jennie V., is this
girl's grandmother. (did anyone know they had a daughter named Jennie
V.?)

On Jennie's maternal side:
Matilda's mother was Elizabeth J. Ledford & her father, John Diedrick
Erickson and Elizabeth Ledford's parents were George William Ralls
Ledford & Eliza G. Baird.

On Jennie's paternal side:
Stephen Jesse "Hawk" (nickname) Scobee's parents were Stinson Scobee b
Clark Co., KY d Putnam Co., MO. & Nancy Ann Coffee/Coffey b KY d Putnam
Co., MO (their 2nd marriages)(She may be known to you as Nancy Ann
Beard)
Family tradition says that Nancy was an Indian maiden... but no one
seems to know why.

Anyone know of any American Indian in these families?
