Hi Renee,

I am related through Clarinda Ellingtons line...her son William Ellingtons father was Shoeboots. Have you read a thesis by Tiya Miles "Bone of my Bones"? Its about Shoeboots and his wife Daul, Doll ect. after Clarinda goes back to KY.

I believe there is a posting somewhere....you are disapointed that I did not respond to an email......if this was you - I am sorry. I was in a serious automobile accident and have been in recovery for a while.

I hope to hear from you soon and learn if you have read that thesis.

Thanks, Moninne

My William Ellington was born October 17, 1798 and died October 13, 1893. He married Martha A. Long. Tiya Miles, I believe, speaks of a William Ellington living in Bosque County, TX. This is also where I find my William.

HI Moninne
well you found all of your cousins out there in Texas right ?
yes I read tia miles thesis and it was good , nice paper trails but there is things only family knows and some of the conclusions are well not fully correct. shoeboots had three wives that I remember and I am still trying to locate his first one . I think she was a captive also a white one. but the daughter of turtle at home that married john boggs was daughter of shoeboots first wife.
I am also hunting shoeboots twin sisters white name and family and at least some of her identities . I am just running in circles right now trying to put the names in my head in order . it is driving me nutzzzz . anyway let me know what you all have found. and I sure would like pictures of your side of the family .

Hi Moninne
how are you ? I just got a new puter so can email better now , but lost all of the other families webpages . and did you have a web site for shoeboots kin? still love to see pictures .

I understand you are looking for information about Chief Chulio Shooboots wives. Well, my 4th greataunt, Clarinda Allington/Ellington, was married to Shoeboots. Shoeboots captured her from a place called Morgan's Station, in Kentucky, at the age of 11 years. She bore him three children:

1. John, also called Cherokee John, who was next in line to the offic of Chief and all of Tuscoringo's Shoeboots property. Clarinda left Shoeboots, and unfortunatly, the Allington/Ellington's would not allow him to go back to the indian tribe.

2. Sally, she married a very handsome man, moved away from the Ellington's and started a tanning business on the Big Sandy.

3. William, had a very wolfish personality. After setting the dogs on his cousin, for no reason, his unlce tied him up for a day, beating him at different intervels. William was later bonded to Colonel Thomas Owingal, who used him to work in the blacksmith buisness, and coal/coke furnaces. William away before his time was out.

I am really now looking for his very first wife and his kids from that marriage and his sisters and their families.. they are in my head someplace but I still can't remember them. still just names that are kinda floating around.. in my head from stories my grandma told.. and I can't make any of the rest of the names make any sense. with what others are writting..
anyway he had a twin sister.. most likley she is Chahwahyoocah. and a sister Peggy or peggy is Chahwahyoocah and another sister taketesky . ( lucy eliza betsey lila.............. there are more sisters and a few more brothers mostly 1/2 brothers and sisters that are just missing from history . .

Hi I was looking through the internet trying to locat my history and I ran across this sight I am the grandson of Haskul James Shoeboot,if I am correct I think he was born in 1898 and have been trying to locate relatives that I have not met and trying to trace my history so if I could be of help to you and you to me that would be great look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks.
