Genealogy Update for 6-7 Feb 2009

Today I added the following mansuscript to our surname genelaogy:

• The Descendants of Thomas White of Marblehead
  The descendants of Thomas White of Marblehead, and Mark Haskell of Beverly, Mass. With a brief notice of the Coombs Family. Compiled by Perley Derby, Salem, Mass

I also added the following tribal pages:

• The Kan-hatki Tribe
  The history of the Kan-hatki or Ikan-hatki ("White ground'') is parallel with that of the Fus-hatchee.
• The Wiwohka Tribe
  According to tradition, Wiwohka was a made-up or "stray" town, formed of fugitives from other settlements, or those who found it pleasanter to live at some distance from the places of their birth.
• The Kealedji Tribe
  According to native tradition this was a branch of Tukabahchee, but, if so, it must have separated at a very early date. Gatschet says that the name appears to refer to a warrior's headdress, containing the words ika, his head, and a verb meaning to kill (iłäidshäs, I kill) .
