I have seen references to Joseph Doney (A doctor from England) Married to Susie Allery as being the father of the the Doneys of the Little Shell Tribe and the Turtle Mountain Band of the Chippewa's.
I don't doubt that he was married to Susie Allery, but she would not have been his first wife. When Mary Olive Doney signrd the papers admitting her to the tribe, her Grandfather was listed as Joseph Dehoney and Grandmother as Susie Allery Dehoney

This census information was gathered and published by Gail Morin.
Note Marie DAUNAIS dit LYONNAISE. His sister named Daunais pronounced DonAy.
I realise that that this census information doesn't prove that this is the Joseph Delauney who started the Doney line but check the age of the son Joseph (The Man) and Francoise (Frank).
The name written on the Roe Cloud Roll application (Dehoney) could easily be Delauney. The third son of Joseph (Oliver) as written in the census is the right age for Leonid. Suppose the census taker says "And what is the baby's name?" Lally they reply. Leonid was called Lally all of his life. The census taker heard "Ollie" and wrote down Oliver. It could happen and I think it probably did although it could hardly be called proof.
Connecting Joseph Delaunay to the Doney line is again circumstantial. Here is some more information compiled by Gail Morin
Francois Lionais dit Delaunay was also known as Francois Lyonnais (SN1 Catholic Parish Register of St.Norbert 1857-1874, Volume One, Hudson Bay Company Archives, Winnipeg, Manitoba, S-5, page 21.). He was also known as Francois Daunais(1832C RRS HBCA E5/6 1832 Census of the Red River Settlement, HBCA E5/6, Hudson's Bay Company Archives, Provincial Archives, 200 Vaughan Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 1T5, Canada., page 5.). He was also known as Francois Lionay(SB St.Boniface Roman Catholic Registre des Baptemes, Mariages & Sepultures, 1825-1834, page 50, M-56 (father).). He was born circa 1774(SN1, S-5, page 21.). He was born on 18 November 1780 in Laprairie(Pat Turenne Research, 22 Jul 2000; Source: Alfred Fortier SHSB.). As of 18 November 1780, he was also known as Francois Daunay(ibid.). He was born circa 1781(1830C RRS HBCA E5/4 1830 Census of the Red River Settlement, HBCA E5/4, Hudson's Bay Company Archives, Provincial Archives, 200 Vaughan Street, Winnipeg, MB R3C 1T5, Canada., page 5.). He and Louise Sauteuse were married according to the custom of the country before 1809. He died on 15 November 1859 in St.Norbert(SN1, S-5, page 21.). As of 16 November 1859, he was also known as Francois Lyonnaise(ibid.). He was buried on 16 November 1859 in St.Norbert S-5, Francois Lyonnais, buried 16 November 1859, died yesterday, age 85 years, present at the burial: Joseph Lyonnais and Alexis Henry who could not sign. J. J. M. Lestanc, C. of St. Norbert O.M.I(ibid.).
Again I say that there is no hard proof here, but very often there isn't when doing genealogy research. If it were easy, three quarters of the women in the US would be members of the DAR. (Daughters if the American Revolution) Note all the names each person used for whatever reason. It is particularly bad in Canada where they used Aliases, dit names, and maybe a dozen different spellings for the same name, But you know that. I hope this helps
