There is really not enough data here for a person to know if the name matches the same person on their family tree. It would help if you listed the family groups with their spouses, children and the place names involved.

Regarding the Doctor family, I recommend contacting the American Philosophical Society. They have some records, including old letters relating to American Indians. Among them is a letter from Ely S. Parker to his "neice, Laura Doctor."

There is also a letter that shows "PARKER, SPENCER CONE. Letter to Caroline PARKER [May 14, 1851]. A.L.S. 1p.
Jesse Tiffany and Ya-de-sose died April 18, and Joh-doh on May 4. Charles Doctor and Eli Johnson are at school in Aurora. The letter is signed Gau-nos-qua.
"

Charles Doctor would have been under age 20 in 1851 and it is possible he is the same as the Charles born 1833.

The "Gazetteer and Biographical record of Genesee County, N.Y. 1788-189" mentions the son of Charles Doctor, Charles Jr., born in 1871. Here is the excerpt"

"William Poodry was of French origin. He married an Indian woman,
by whom he had three sons and one daughter, one of whom, Lewis, was a soldier in the War of 18 12 in the American army. He married Phebe Jonas, and reared a large family, of whom three only are living. Maria, a daughter, married Levi PARKER, of Alabama.

E. M. Poodry was born on the Tonawanda Reservation, August 15, 1833. He early manifested an aptitude for learning, and, making the best of advantages within his reach, succeeded in obtaining a good business education, which enabled him to become one of the chiefs in the councils of his tribe. He married Amanda Griffin, November 6, 1856, and they were the parents of 11 children, viz.: Malvina, born February 3, 1858, married Warren Skye in 1883 ; Thomas J,, born May 5, i860; Sarah J., born April 3, 1862, married Asa Skye; William S., born December 4, 1864, died June 28, 1887 ; Barnum, born March 30, 1867, married Sarah C. Brant, February 14, 1889; Anna M., born June ii, 1869, married'
Charles Doctor, August 12, 1888; Edward, born July 23, 1871 ; Stafford, born F'ebruary 28, 1875 ; Fanny C, born February 17, 1877; Henrietta, born November 8, 1880; and Dora, born June 26, 1883. Mr. Poodry is extensively engaged in farming, and occupies about 3 50 acres
of land on road 38."

I noticed on the rolls for the Tonawanda Reservation that there is an Isaac Doctor who is 20 years older than your Charles and they are enumerated next to each other on several of the rolls. I would check that possibility as his father.

Lucinka is found at least once enumerated on the Indian rolls as Lucinda.

You may already have this data. If so, I apologize for not bringing anything new to the discussion. But, perhaps others will have some information.
