Margaret ELM and Sampson CORNELIUS

Classification: Query
Surnames: Blair, Caswell, Choteau, Cornelius, Elm, House, Mentz, Menz
Research of my wife’s Oneida line has been traced back to Sampson William CORNELIUS and Margaret ELM. Margaret may have been Onandoga, but regardless, both she and Sampson reportedly were born in Wisconsin.

My wife and her mother are both enrolled members of the Standing Rock Tribe (Lakota), and while some tribal records are available, there is nothing relating to her Oneida ancestry.

If any of the following people are in your family, I have more to exchange. Additions, corrections, etc are welcome!

Thank you! Mike
