One of two stories has to be false. One is that she is Shoshone and her brother was Chief of the Crow. I don't believe that could ever happen period.
Two, she was Powhatan and her brother was Chief of the Crow. This could happen if indeed Chief Powhatan was related to the Crow as it was reported in books published in the early 1700's.
If the story that John Baptiste was adopted by William Clark was true, then John Baptiste would be exposed to both CSA Col Meriwether Lewis Clark and CSA General Robert E Lee.
If that was true then the Grace R Hebard papers are correct and Sacagawea had two granddaughters named Barbara and Margaret Myers. As the Myers family are well recorded to be related to the Lee family in several documents.
My point to all this is General Robert E Lee is in the middle of these families and if anyone wanted to exclude these families to any connection to Lewis and Clark after the Civil War, the motivation is rather strong to do so.
You also can't get around the Cromwell connection. It's well recorded that Thomas Lord Fairfax's grandfather was a General in Oliver Cromwells Army.
Bishop Meade writes in his genealogy book that he was a descendent of the Cromwell's through Oliver Cromwell's brother. That Oliver Cromwell was related to Thomas Cromwell through Thomas Cromwell's sister who married a Williams. Henry VIII changed the Williams name to Cromwell. This all leads to Pocahontas and King James in 1600.
You can't get around the boat builders in Pittsburgh. Someone built the boat for Meriwether Lewis at a time that the population in Pittsburgh ran around 1000 people That's every men and women, old and young. Not all 1000 people are boat builders.
So here I have a family who made the Pittsburgh 1800 census record as boat builders with the last name of Lewis and that's not good enough for Historians to even look at the family. I believe the reason is the story has Robert E Lee and his father Harry Lighthorse Lee written all over it. General Harry Lighthorse Lee had a long history with Pittsburgh as well as Col Alexander Hamilton and Caption Meriwether Lewis. Caption Meriwether Lewis lived in Pittsburgh for 10 years and he was living some place other then Ft Pitt.
