• Notes

  This information was sent to me by Ruth Hain, 85 (Her father was Charles, brother of our grandfather, Zimiri) about her grandmother, Ursula Heckathorne Hain (wife of Thomas Hain). The information did not give dates. "Ursula Heckathorne Hain's mother was a beautiful blue-eyed blond school teacher and was captured by an Indian chief named DeKump (Cherokee or Shawnee). The chief wanted a white wife and each day he hung around her schoolhouse, but she would have one of her boy school children walk home with her. But, one day the little boy was not at school and the chief kidnapped her. She died when Grandma Ursula Heckathorne Hain was born. Her last name was Heckathorne. Grandma's young life was very sad as she was not treated well by her kinfolks. FROM BITS AND PIECES OF INFORMATION, WE BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS ABANDONED AFTER HER MOTHER'S DEATH AND WAS RETURNED TO THE HECKATHORNE FAMILY IN INDIANA. NOT SURE OF THE WHY THOMAS HAIN WAS IN INDIANA OR WHEN HE MET URSULA, BUT THE WERE MARRIED AND CAME TO IOWA BY COVERED WAGON TRAIN AND HOMESTEADED 700 ACRES OF LAND ALONG THE CEDAR RIVER NEAR MOSCOW, IOWA THIS IS INTRESTING, ISN'T IT? WOULD LOVE TO KNOW MORE DETAILS BUT DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE ANY OF IT ORTHER THAN RUTH HAIN (SHE IS NOW 94 ) AND ANY MEMBER OF HER FAMILY. SHE LIVES IN NORTHRIDGE, CA.
