my name is yvette tipsword married to thomas keith tipsword born 1953 to jesse willard tipsword b. may 17, 1917 and anna alice behedyt b. november 30, 1919. I have an article by joyce vonderheide of the daily news staff that relates to griffin tipsword who married and native indian woman of the kickapoo indians in illinois. This is accroding to "a history of effingham county". from what it says he changed his name from souards though it is not certian why.
So the article goes he applied for a pension from the revolutionary war in coles county but failed to provide proof of service. According to "the griffin tipsword story" by peggy pulliam is that he could not read or write and had some diregard for white men's conventions. Also according to this brief article he died in 1845 and is buried at the tipsword cemetery in moccasin and liberty townships but there is no grave marker. I am researching the natvie american genealogy of my husband, and i need all the information that you can supply. I seen a message from tony tipsword he is my husband nephew, son of corwin dale tipsword and jodi {yenti?} tipsword. He also has several other brothers via jesse tipsword they are willard , larry, ronnie, phillip and corwin, also a sister named brenda {fowler} tipsword. I hope that you can help . You are doing a great job. thanks, yvette
