I am trying to research the family line of Chief Washakie. My grandmother is a decendent of his line, but was unable to trace the line all the way. She got as far as her grandmother Emma Mass, maiden Bovay (or Bouvier - correct spelling unknown). Emma Mass is supposedly daughter of an Adeline Bovay/Bouvier, who was daughter/grandaughter (?) to Washakie. Will be patient for any info! Also, any info on Emma Mass' spouse appreciated - Phillip Mass (Masero). Much know about him, but not his ancestors. Thanks

I am his grandaughter,but I am still searching. Maybe we could swap info one day.

I am also researching Washakie and am interesting in exchanging information. Thanks.

Hello I am also searching this line. the names I have is One knife (wanipe)she died in Mt View in 1879, whose mother was Tessiva, unsure of the spelling in 18 March 1920. I was told Fort Washakie, Fremont. Have not verified grave sites. I believe her mother was yellow beads sister to Washakie. This was verbally told to me . Unfortunately my grandmother did not like to speak of her heritage. I do remember them recieving a letter about moving Chief Washakie's bones

I would like to compare notes. All of my grandmother's info beyond her great-grandmother Adeline Beauveaux (or Bovay) is oral. We have found some info on Adeline's parents on the LDS site, but it is inaccurate. I don't check this site often, I don't have my own computer (yet), but you can contact me at sheilaghiree@hotmail.com (I check email at least once a week) or by phone (435) 843-0452.

I am still interested in swapping info. Please feel free to email me at sheilaghiree@hotmail.com or call my (MST) 435-843-0452. Thanks.

The sad part of this is I have no info. All of the men in my family have been named after cheif Washakie but other than that I am clueless. I will ask my dad and post again, but I doubt that he will give me anything I don't already know.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know that you are his granddaughter? Is you father (or mother) one of his children? If so, do you know which one?

We've run into some confusion regarding facts around Chief Washakie's daughter, Mary, and his sister, Mary. Do you or your father know anything about either? Spouses, children, history, etc? My grandma's info is word of mouth and at times very specific and others vague.

Thanks

I have some information that might be helpful in your research. My wife's grandmother was the daughter of Adeline Bovey. Please contact me if you are still interested.
