Louisa Miller1

b. November 1831, d. 15 July 1922
Family
Adoptive father*Meshingomesia1,2 d. 23 Dec 1879
Birth*November 1831Louisa Miller was born in November 1831 in Indiana. She was a baby when her mother was killed on the bank of the Mississinewa river by a Pottawatomie Indian. Several hours after the murder the baby was found crying on the river bank, her face all covered with sand and mud, while several feet away lay the body of her lifeless mother. The little girl was taken into the home of Chief Me-shin-go-me-sia and his wife where she was reared as their adopted daughter. Her biological mother was reported to have been an Indian, and her biological father was James Miller, a pioneer merchant in Peru, Indiana.3,4,5,6,7 
Marriage*1853She married Joseph Winters, son of _____ Winters and Sarah __?__, about 1853.8,9 
(Adopted Sister) Relationship Note Although the relationship between the WINTERS siblings has been reported clearly by earlier researchers, their works, when merged with our own research, have left us with unanswered questions. We need, and request, help. Here are the facts as we know them:

Betsy Winters and Mary Robertson were reported to be sisters of Joseph Winters and Charles Winters. It was also reported that the sisters, Betsy and Mary, married brothers, Awtawwawtaw and Pe-con-ge-oh, respectively, and that Joseph Winters married Louisa Miller, an adopted sister of Awtawwawtaw and Pe-con-ge-oh. Additionally, Joseph Winter's mother was reported to be Sarah (__?__) Winters, and we suspect, therefore, that she was, probably, also the mother of Betsy Winters, Mary Robertson, and Charles Winters, whom we've not yet even identified. Mary's maiden name was recorded as Robertson and her birth year estimated as 1824, and Betsy's maiden name was recorded as Winters, and her year of birth estimated as 1822. Puzzling, right? Where did the surname Robertson come from? The logical answer is that their mother had married a Robertson before she married Winters. If that's true, though, why is it only the second daughter who was a Robertson? Was Mary Robertson, perhaps, the daughter of a first husband of Sarah, and a stepsister to her Winters siblings? There are so many possibilities: was Mary Robertson a full sister, a half-sister, a stepsister, an adopted sister -- or something else? We have found no helpful information that tells us about their mother, Sarah (__?__) Winters, and would love to have help from someone who knows the answers to our questions!10,11,12,13,14,1,15 
Death*15 July 1922She died on 15 July 1922 in Grant County, Indiana, at age 90.1
