See/Yoakum family intergration

Surnames: See, Sea, Zhe, Yoakum
So I've learned some interesting things about my ancestors and it appears my great (x5 x6, etc) grandparents are the Yoakum family, integrated with the See family. I thought I was getting somewhere but it's confusing to me because there are a-lot of misguided facts out there, and so much integration and similar names. I do realize that there has been a-lot of research on this family due to the muddy creek massacre. One of my great (x4) grandmothers is Sarah Shoemaker, daughter of Elizabeth and John peter. Supposedly Elizabeth was one of the captives of the massacre but here's where the problem starts.

Other people have her as Elizabeth Yoakum, and that she is the daughter of Valentine Yoakum and Margaret See. However other documents and writings online say she is the daughter of Frederick Michael Sea and Catherine Margaret See (Vanderpool). I know that somehow I am related to all these people, but I'm just not putting it together somehow. I see that Mathia Yoakum married an Elinor See..maybe this is where the Yoakum/See connection happens. Hoping someone can shed some light.

If her parents are Frederick and Catherine (which I think is the case) then where does the Yoakum family come in. Supposedly there is a relation to us and Valentine, his father Mathias etc, but all of this is a bit jumbled to me right now. I also see where Valentine did have a daughter Elizabeth who would have been a Yoakum. Any help is very appreciated here in figuring out where my family tree should head past Sarah Shoemaker and Elizabeth (See or Yoakam). Also, any other marriages with these ancestors would be good to know as well since I read somewhere that possibly Catherine had several marriages but I am not sure. Also, I know that Elizabeth had a child by Cornstalk's son Peter I, while she was held captive (before she married and had my g grandmother Sarah). That daughter was White Wing "Big Nancy" and she married Tecumseh.
