Sorry to burst your oral family tradition, but Myrtilla Minor (not Minion) was not a Blackfoot or the daughter of a Blackfoot. Myrtilla Minor (b. c1764, Lunenburg Co., VA; d. 1 Aug. 1822, Champaign Co., OH; m. John Winn on 14 Dec. 1787, Lunenburg Co., VA) was the daughter of Joseph Minor(c1727-1786) and Edith Cox (c1728-c1802). The Minors arrived in Virginia in the mid-1600s, and the immigrant Cox ancestor arrived in Jamestown in 1610. I have tons of info on both of these lines, as well as the Winn/Wynne family, so please email me privately if you'd like additional info.
