(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.3,4,1,5,6,7,8

Family
Father*Antoine Revarre1,2 d. 1849
Mother*Kilsoquah1,2 b. May 1810, d. 4 Sep 1915
(Family Member) Name SpellingsA variation in the spelling of the Revarre surname found in our research was Revoir.3 
(Son) Historical Note1820On 3 August 1906, Anthony's mother, Kilsoquah, who was about 96 years of age at that time, gave a brief account of her marriages and children to historians, S. P. Kaler, M. L. Galbreath, John F. Mossman and Alexander More, when they visited her and her son, Anthony, who was 57 years of age, at her home in Roanoke. She told them that Chief John Owl, prior to 1820, his wife and one son came to the Eel River country and stayed most of the time, building a cabin at Seek's Village, near Columbia City, Whitley County, Indiana. His wife died and was buried at the village, and Chief Owl, soon after, went back to the Illinois country, leaving his son, John Owl, with Seek, who raised him. On one of her family's visits to Seek's Village, she became acquainted with John. Later, he visited her in Roanoke, and they were married in 1826 and moved to live at Seek's Village. She described her husband, John, as a good Indian who did not drink and, as there was much dissatisfaction with Seek, there was talk of her husband taking his place as chief. Sadly, though, John became sick some months after they were married, and lingered more than a year before he died. They had no children, and John was buried beside or very near his mother at Seek's Village. After his death, Seek was unkind to her and she returned to her father's home in Huntington County.

Four years after the death of her first husband, in 1832, she married Sha-Pe-Ne-Mah, who was half Indian and half French. His American name was Antoine Revarre. Six children were born to them, four dying in infancy. Her son, Anthony Revarre, Jr., who was living with his mother in 1906, was the youngest of her children. He was born on Christmas day, 1849, just two months after his father's death. His Indian name was Wa-pe-mung-quah, meaning White Loon, and he was named after Great White Loon. Her daughter Wan-nog-quan-quah, meaning snow, mist or fog, was nicknamed Mary. She went to Oklahoma about twenty years before and married there. Both Mary and Tony attended the common schools and the Roanoke Academy, and had good English educations.4 
Birth*December 1849Anthony Revarre was born in December 1849 in Indiana.5,6 
Name VariationHis Indian name was Nah pe mum wah.2 
(Son) Miami RemovalBefore he was born, his sisters, Elizabeth (Revarre) Froman and Mary E. Revarre, were exempted in 1850, with their parents and other family members, from the Miami Removal from Indiana. Their father had died the year before, and the family's exemption permitted his family to remain on their land in Indiana while continuing to receive their annuities there. Their brother, Anthony Revarre, who was born in December of 1849, was also exempted.7,8 
(Son) Census US 187025 June 1870Anthony was enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 25 June 1870 in the household of his widowed mother in Jackson, Huntington County, Indiana. He was 21 years olf.9 
(Heir) Will5 May 1874Siblings, Mary E. Revarre and Anthony Revarre, were named as the sole beneficiaries, share and share alike, in the will of White Loon dated 5 May 1874, and probated in Allen County, Indiana, on 20 January 1877.10 
Marriage*5 April 1877He married Millie Downs, daughter of Samuel Downs and Lucy Ann Wannamaker, on 5 April 1877 in Huntington County, Indiana.1,11,12 
Census US 1880*30 June 1880Millie and Anthony Revarre were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 30 June 1880 in Jackson, Huntington County, Indiana. Anthony was 30 years of age and a farmer, and Millie was 27 years of age and keeping house. Anthony's mother, Kilsoquah, and a nephew, James Froman, were enumerated with the couple in 1880. His mother was 63 years of age, and his nephew, James, who was a son of Anthony's sister, Elizabeth (Revarre) Froman, was 6 years old.13 
(Son) Miami Census 188117 October 1881Anthony and other members of his extended family were enumerated on the Miami Indian Census taken on 17 October 1881. They were listed as a family group, although four individuals were recorded by the Qua Paw Agency in Oklahoma Territory and two were recorded in Roanoke, Indiana. Anthony, who was recorded in Roanoke, was listed as #32, Nah pe mum wah, alias Anthony Revoir, age 32, with the note that he was listed on the 1854 census with the family of his father, Sha-Pe-Ne-Mah. Anthony's nephew, James Froman, whose mother was deceased, was also recorded in Roanoke, while Anthony's mother, Kilsoquah, was recorded in Oklahoma as were her daughter, Mary Revoir, Anthony's unmarried sister, and two grandchildren, siblings of James, Mary and Henry Froman. The census noted that the mother of the three Froman children had been No oc quah ze quah, a Revoir.14 
Occupation*His wife, Millie, was an English school teacher.11 
Census US 1900*28 June 1900Millie and Anthony Revarre were enumerated on the 1900 census taken on 28 June 1900 in Jackson, Huntington County, Indiana. Anthony was 50 years of age and a farmer, and Millie was 48 years of age. They had been married for 23 years, owned their house free of mortgage, were both able to read, write, and to speak English, and Millie had not given birth to any children. Two of Millie's nieces, Pearl Groves and Millie Groves, and Anthony's mother, Kilsoquah Revarre, were enumerated with the couple in 1900. The two Groves sisters were recorded as Boarders and were at school, having both attended for seven months of the census year. Pearl was 11 years old, and Millie was age 8. Only Pearl was recorded as being able to read, write, and to speak English. Anthony's mother, Kilsoquah, was 88 years of age and a widow. She had given birth to five children, two of whom were living, and was not able to read, write, or to speak English.15 
(Husband) Death15 September 1902Anthony became a widower when Millie (Downs) Revarre died of consumption, also known as tuberculous on 15 September 1902 at age 49.11 
(Uncle) IllnessJune 1905His nephew, Clarence Edward Groves, was a troubled individual, with almost no stability in his life as he was growing up. Whether his actions resulted from frustration, anger or illness, we don't know, although we do know that he was still a teenager when he became known to the citizens and authorities in Huntington County, Indiana, as homeless. He was living with a woman in the vicinity of Jackson Township where the couple slept in barns, cars, shacks, boxcars or any place they could find shelter, and subsisted by fishing and stealing. When his flagrant conduct could no longer be ignored, he was arrested and given a heavy jail sentence. When he was 19 years old, in June of 1905, he and a woman he was with were arrested for adultery. A local newspaper described them as probably the most disreputable looking couple ever to appear in court. They were ragged and dirty, and showed the effects of their habit of sleeping in out buildings. Clarence received a jail sentence of ninety days and a fine of $100 after pleading guilty to the charge against him. Huntington newspapers continued to report his crimes and punishments, especially during the first half of 1909, when he was found guilty of stealing from his uncle, Anthony Revarre.16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27 
Relationship Note*3 August 1906Anthony Revarre and his mother, Kilsoquah, were visited at their home on 3 August 1906 by four historians, which included S. P. Kaler, who asked Kilsoquah many questions about her life and extended family. They recorded her story and it was published in Kaler's History of Whitley County, Indiana. Among her stories was what we think is the answer to one of our questions: Who was George W. Slusman, and where did he come from? Kilsoquah told of being lonely after the deaths of her husband, Antoine Revarre, and then her cousin, Coesse, saying she took her two children and went up to Coesse's family near Columbia City and stayed there a year before returning to her home near Roanoke. She said Jacob Slusman, whose surname was spelled "Slessman" by her listeners, came from Columbia City and moved her up; and that he also moved her back the next summer. She said that Mrs. Louisa Coesse and her family lived on the farm up at Columbia City for about ten years after her husband Coesse's death, and then sold out and moved to Peru. She added that they are now all dead except an illegitimate son and half breed, George, who was born after Coesse's death.4 
Probate*14 June 1917Regarding the estate of his sister, Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, on 14 June 1917, Anthony Revarre submitted a petition to the County Court, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. In it he stated that on 24 May 1917 an order was entered by the court appointing August Zoeller as administrator of the estate of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, upon the petition of Jessie Brown, filed on 8 May 1917. He stated that in that petition, Jessie Brown had alleged that she was a daughter of the decedent and that she waived issuance of letters to herself and requested the appointment of August Zoeller as the administrator of her mother's estate.

Anthony's petition further stated that Jessie Brown was not a daughter by blood of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, and was never adopted by Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor in any form or manner as required by law, and that Jessie Brown was not an heir at law of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor and was not entitled to a share in the distribution of the estate of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor.

He stated that Anthony Revarre had died intestate on or about 10 March 1917, and that diligent search had been made for a will of the decedent, but none had been found.

He stated that he, Anthony Revarre, was the sole and only surviving brother of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, and was the only surviving heir at law of said decedent, and was entitled to receive all of the property left by said decedent, and was entitled to appointment as administrator of the estate, and that no person had a superior right to that appointment above the rights of himself.

He stated that if there were any other heirs at law of his sister, the decedent, their names, places of residence and place of business were not known to him, and could not be ascertained by any means within his control.

His petition additionally stated that the property left by his sister in the County of Pottawatomie, State of Oklahoma consisted of real and personal property of the value and character as follows, to wit: About $300 in money, some chickens of uncertain value, household goods, and certain real estate which Anthony was informed and believed was not subject to administration under the jurisdiction of that court, but only subject to administration by the officers of the United States Government.

It went on to state that the decedent, his sister, Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, at the time of her death was a resident of Pottawatomie County, and died in Pottawatomie County, at her home about seven and one-half miles east and south of Asher in Pottawatomie County.

He stated that he, Anthony Revarre, was a resident of the State of Indiana.

Wherefore, Anthony petitioned, that the order appointing August Zoeller administrator be vacated and set aside, and that George E. McKinnis of Shawnee, Oklahoma, a proper person be appointed administrator of the estate. He further requested that a day be set for hearing his petition, and that notice be given of the hearing by posting and publication as required by law and in addition thereto that written notice be given to the said Jessie Brown and to the said August Zoeller of the time and place set for the hearing at least five days before the hearing.

Although it was dated 15 June 1917, Anthony Revarre likely signed his petition, under oath, before a notary public, on 14 June 1917, since it was filed by the court on that date.

In an order, also dated 14 June 1917, the court ordered that his petition be heard before the County Court on the 30th of June, 1917, at 10:00 a.m., a day of the regular April term of the County Court of Pottawatomie County.28,29 
Probate23 July 1917In the matter of the administration of the estate of his sister, Mary E. Taylor, deceased, Anthony Revarre's petition to change the administrator from August Zoeller to George E. McKinnis was heard on 23 July 1917, a regular judicial day of the July 1917 term of the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Zoeller had originally been appointed two months earlier at the request of Jessie Brown, who was his sister's daughter, Anthony's niece. During the hearing, Jessie Brown and August Zoeller confirmed they were aware of Anthony Revarre's petition, and that they were in agreement that Revere’s request for the appointment of George E. McKinnis as administrator of the estate.

It was then considered, ordered and adjudged by the court that the order entered on 24 May 1917 appointing August Zoeller Administrator of the Estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, be set aside, vacated and held for naught, and August Zoeller was ordered to make and file a report with the court, within ten days from and after the date of the order, of all his acts as Administrator, including an inventory and statement of any and all property belonging to the estate coming to his hands as Administrator.

It was further ordered, adjudged and decreed that George E. McKinnis be and is appointed Administrator of the estate.30 
Probate7 October 1918In the matter of the administration of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, a hearing was scheduled to be held in the County Court room, Tecumseh, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 7 October 1918, at 2:30 o'clock p.m.. Notices had been published in Oklahoma newspapers as required by law, beginning on 16 August 1918. They reported that Anthony Revarre was the sole and only heir of the decedent, and that Jessie Brown had appeared in the cause claiming an interest in the estate, and that she was the only person besides Anthony Revarre who had appeared and claimed any interest in the course of the estate's administration. The notice, issued by W. S. Pendleton, County Judge, stated that Jessie Brown, and all other persons interested in the estate, named or not named, having or claiming any interest in the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, were ordered to appear at the hearing and exhibit their respective claims of heirship, ownership, or interest in the estate.

Researcher's Note: We have found no evidence that this hearing ever took place, although we also discovered the reasons why at the hearing held a week later.31,32,33,34

Fourth, he appointed Mrs. Millie Anders and Pearl Groves, of Decatur, Illinois and Danville, Illinois, respectively, to serve as executrices of that, which was his last will and testament, without bond.

He signed his will, witnessed by W. G. McPherson and Austin Petry, both of Bement, Illinois, on 31 October 1918.35

Probate*12 November 1918In the matter of the Last Will and Testament of Anthony Revarre, deceased, Pearl Groves submitted a petition prepared in Vermilion County, Illinois and dated 12 November 1918 with the County Court, Piatt County, Illinois. In it she represented to the Court that on 4 November 1918 Anthony Revarre departed this life in Bement, Illinois in the County of Piatt and State of Illinois, leaving an instrument in writing purporting to be his Last Will and Testament which is now here produced by the Petitioner and proposed for probate, and that said decedent was a resident of Bement in the County and State aforesaid, at the time of his death.

She further represented to the Court that the decedent left surviving him no widow, and no heirs-at-law, known to her.

She further represented that the following persons were also legatees under the Last Will and Testament, to-wit: Pearl Groves at 125½ N. Franklin Street, Danville, Illinois, and Mrs. Millie Anders at 227 S. Main Street, Decatur, Illinois

The Petitioner further represented to the Court that decedent left a Personal Estate to the probable amount of value of $200.00, and further represented to the Court that Mrs. Pearl Groves and Millie Anders were nominated as Executrices in the said will to serve without bond.

And, as Petitioner, she requested that the instrument in writing may be admitted to probate, and that the Court would make any further orders in the matter that were necessary and lawful.

Pearl Groves signed and notarized her document under oath in Vermilion County, Illinois on 12 November 1918 and it was recorded and filed with the Court in Monticello, Piatt County, Illinois on 16 November 1918.38 
Probate12 February 1919His Oklahoma estate was opened for probate on 12 February 1919 in the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, with the appointment of George E. McKinnis as administrator. His Letters of Administration stated that the last will of Anthony Revarre, deceased, a copy of which was thereto annexed, having been proved and recorded in the County Court of Piatt County, Illinois, and the Executrices therein named, (Pearl Groves, 125½ N. Franklin Street, Danville, Illinois, and Mrs. Millie Anders, 227 S. Main street, Decatur, Illinois), being non-residents of Oklahoma, and having filed a petition for the appointment of George E. McKinnis, George E. McKinnis was appointed administrator with the will annexed.39 
Probate14 October 1921In the matter of the estate of his sister, Mary E. Taylor, deceased, attorneys for Anthony Revarre filed a request with the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 14 October 1921, for permission to withdraw a petition they had filed previously which had asked the court to determine the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. Their new petition referred to certain real estate being the allotment of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, as an adopted member of the Pottawatomie Tribe of Indians; that the land was at the time of the death of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, under the charge and control of the Department of the Interior and was not in any manner subject to administration under the laws of the State of Oklahoma; that since the death of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, the Secretary of the Interior had, under the Acts of Congress in such case made and provided, after hearings duly had and conducted, determined the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased; that the Pottawatomie County Court had never acquired jurisdiction over the said land, nor to determine the heirship thereto, nor the interest of the heirs in the land; that the petition to determine heirship and all other pleadings pertaining to the determination of heirship merely encumber the record herein.

Wherefore, the attorneys for Anthony Revarre asked the court to permit them to withdraw all pleadings, and proceedings of every nature or kind pertaining to the determination of heirship in the cause.

The request was signed and notarized by G. C. Abernathy, an attorney with Abernathy & Howell, on 14 October 1921.32 
Probate14 October 1921On the same date of 14 October 1921 that Anthony's attorneys had filed their request, it being one of the regular days of the October 1921 term of the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, the court heard their application to withdraw their petition for determination of heirship, and all the proceedings therein in the matter of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. The order the court issued in the case as a result of the hearing stated that said application ought to be granted and that it was therefore considered, ordered, adjudged and decreed that the petition, notices of hearing, demurrer and any and all orders made in connection with such petition be and same are hereby stricken from the files in said cause, and permission is granted to withdraw all such pleadings, papers, notices, orders, etc. pertaining thereto.

The order was signed by Clarence Robinson, County Judge, and signing his agreement or acceptance with an "O.K." was Maile Goode, as the attorney for Jessie Brown. The firm of Abernathy & Howell, attorneys for Anthony Revarre, who had initiated the hearing, also signed the document.33 
Administration*14 October 1921 Also on 14 October 1921, in the matter of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, George E. McKinnis, Administrator, submitted his Final Account and Petition for Distribution and Discharge to the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. His petition stated that the time for creditors to submit claims had expired on 24 November 1917, but he had received no claims, and that if any claims existed, they had long since been barred by the Statute of Limitations, and reported that, at that time, there were no claims against the estate.

His petition next reported a full and correct statement of his receipts, expenses and disbursements by himself as administrator, of the estate, adding that no property, except money, had been received by him as administrator, so no appraisement had been necessary. He reported total receipts as $342.34, consisting of $309.40 from the Oklahoma State Bank of Konawa and $32.94 in interest to June 1, 1921; the total expenses of the estate were reported as $139.52, consisting of his paid out expenses as administrator of $72.40, the Administrator's fee of $17.12, and attorneys' fees of $50.00; and he reported $202.82 as his balance on hand.

His petition went on to allege that he was entitled to receive, as he had included in his report, the $17.12 in fees as the administrator of the estate. He also stated that, as far as the attorneys' fees he had included, that Abernathy & Howell, attorneys, had prepared all papers, and performed all the usual services incident to the administration of the estate, and that he, as the court's Administrator of the estate, had paid the attorneys, Abernathy & Howell, $50.00 for their services rendered in connection with the administration. He added that the amount was not to cover any compensation the attorneys were to receive for their services connected with hearings conducted by the Secretary of the Interior to determine the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, and the persons entitled to inherit her allotment.

His petition stated, further, that Mary E. Taylor left surviving her no husband, nor children, nor child or children of any deceased child or children, nor father, nor mother, nor sisters, and only one brother, to-wit: Anthony Revarre, who was the sole and only surviving heir at law of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, and who was entitled to inherit all of the property left by Mary E. Taylor, deceased.

He went on to state that Anthony Revarre had died on or about 4 November 1918 in Bement, Piatt County, Illinois, leaving a last will and testament which was being probated in this Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, as a foreign will in case# 2563. He stated that he, himself, had been appointed administrator, with the , will annexed, of the last will and testament of Anthony Revarre, deceased, and that all of the rest, residue and remainder of the property belonging to the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, should be distributed to himself, George E. McKinnis, as administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

His petition closed with the statement that all the lawful debts of the estate of Mary E. Taylor had been paid and that her estate was ready for settlement and distribution. Wherefore, he requested that his final account be allowed and confirmed, and that upon that being allowed and settled, that the residue belonging to her estate be distributed as requested above, and that thereupon he, George E. McKinnis, be discharged from his duties as administrator of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased.

His petition had been signed and notarized on 4 October 1921 by George E. McKinnis.34 
Probate29 October 1921 The Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 29 October 1921, issued a Final Decree regarding the administration of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. The court's document reviewed each of the matters reported and requested in the petition of the administrator, George E. McKinnis, accepting and approving each. Lastly, the court ordered, adjudged and decreed that the described property of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, which amounted to $202.82, be and hereby is transferred, vested, assigned and conveyed to George E. McKinnis, administrator with the will annexed, of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

On the same date, in open court, the judge read the court's Final Discharge, stating that it was adjudged and decreed that George E. McKinnis, Administrator of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, had fully and faithfully discharged the duties of his trust; that he was thereby wholly and absolutely discharged from all further duties and responsibilities as the administrator and that the letters of administration were thereby vacated; and declared the estate fully distributed, and the trust closed, and George E. McKinnis and his sureties thereby released from any liability to be hereafter incurred.40

Probate4 January 1922An itemized accounting of the charges of R. C. Stuart against the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased, was received and filed on 4 January 1922 by the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Stuart listed: Seventeen months that Revarre had boarded at Stuart's home at the rate of seven dollars per month, or $119.00; Money loaned in the sum of $50.00; Paid the sum of $40.55 for Doctor services and medicine.42 
Probate2 May 1922In the matter of the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased, George E. McKinnis, administrator with the will annexed of the estate, submitted his final accounting and petition for distribution to the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 2 May 1922.

His report stated that notice to creditors of the estate to submit claims had been given according to law as according to affidavits on file with the court.

His report listed one item of receipt and two disbursements: Anthony Revarre's estate had received $202,82 from the estate of his sister, Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, of which George E. McKinnis was also the administrator; and the disbursements were $25.00 for costs and $25.00 for his Administrator's fee. He stated that $152.82 was the amount remaining in the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

He next stated that, as the administrator of the estate with the will annexed, he had been presented with a claim for board and room and amounts expended for medicines, and that had been allowed by himself as administrator, and approved by the court, in the sum of $209.55 in favor of R. C. Stuart. He wrote that the remaining $152.82 should be paid to the said R. C. Stuart on his claim.

He stated that he, as administrator with the will annexed, had not received any other or further sums of money nor property than as above stated, nor had he taken possession, or control of any real estate belonging to the deceased.

Additionally, he reported that the deceased, Anthony Revarre, had been held by the Honorable Secretary of the Interior to be the sole surviving heir at law of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, but that the determination was made long after the death of the said Anthony Revarre, deceased, but that patent for the real estate embraced in said allotment was issued directly to the persons named in the last will and testament of Anthony Revarre, deceased, to-wit: Mrs. Millie Anders and Pearl Groves, and that the said real estate was never in the possession or control of the administrator, himself, George E. McKinnis.

He further stated, as administrator with the will annexed, that if there were any debts other than that to R. C. Stuart above named, they had been barred by the Statute of Limitations, and that the balance remaining on hand after court costs and Administrator's fees should be paid to the said R. C. Stuart, aforesaid, to be applied in satisfaction of his claim against the estate, aforesaid.

He then reported that the said decedent left surviving him no widow, nor child nor children, nor child or children of any deceased child or children, nor father, nor mother, nor brother, nor sister, but did leave a last will and testament, which had been admitted to probate, and in said will Mrs. Millie Anders and Pearl Groves were named as sole devisees.

In his last paragraph, which began... Wherefore, he petitioned the court that his final account as above set forth be allowed and confirmed; that upon the same being allowed and settled the residue belonging to the estate be distributed as above requested; and that thereupon said George E. McKinnis be discharged from his duties as such administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

After swearing his oath that his document was true and correct, George E. McKinnis signed and notarized his name on 2 May 1922.43 
(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.44,45,46,47,48,49,50

Antoine Revarre1

d. 1849
Family
Biographical Info* Šowaapinamwa, who was also known as Antoine Revarre, served as a leader and member of the Miami National Council during the turbulent treaty and Removal era of the 1840s. He, with others, worked to protect their community's right to remain in Indiana. They negotiated exemptions from the forced U.S. Removal of the Miami, and questioned the U.S. government's coercive tactics regarding the timeline and enforcement of removal. He initially faced unsuccessful attempts to exempt his family from the 1840 Treaty's Removal mandates, but later secured permissions and eventual 1850 Congressional legislation allowing them to stay or return to Indiana.2,3,4 
Name Spellings*A variation in the spelling of the Revarre surname found in our research was Revoir.1 
Name VariationHis Indian name was Sha-Pe-Ne-Mah.5 
Name VariationIn early documents, he was sometimes identified as Revarre.3 
Name VariationHis name was recorded as Šowaapinamwa 'Antoine Revarre' when his family was granted an exemption from Removal by the U.S. Congress in 1850.3 
Miami Treaty of 1818*1818 In the 1818 treaty between the Miami Indians and the government of the United States, the children of Antoine Revarre received land identified as #17 and described as two sections of land, at the mouth of the Twenty-seven mile creek, and below the same. Their reservation was located in St. Marys Township, Adams County, Indiana.6 
(Miami Leader) Indian Removal Act Copied in part, with minor changes, from the "Myaamia, A Living History: Myaamia Removal:

"Following the arrival of Europeans, the Miami were disrupted by waves of disease, war, and relocation. Beginning in 1795, the Miami were forced to sign treaties giving up ever-increasing amounts of their precious homeland to the government of the United States. By the 1830s, the Miami had only about 500,000 acres, which was surrounded by land controlled by the State of Indiana. Land speculators and settlers wanted this land too.

"In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The goal of this act was to force all tribes to move west of the Mississippi. Throughout the 1830s, many tribes suffered their own version of the “Trail of Tears” most commonly associated with the Cherokee Nation’s forced removal in 1838. Throughout this period, the Miami resisted giving up their reservation in Indiana."7 
Marriage*1832He married, as her second husband, Kilsoquah, daughter of Wak-e-shen-e-quah and Nah-wa-kah-mo-kwa, about 1832.1,8 
(Exemption Requested) Miami Removalbetween 1838 and 1845 In the Miami treaty of 1838, the Miami National Council had agreed, for the first time, to consider the possibility of a future Indian Removal, and also contained, for the family of Chief John B. Richardville, the first Exemption from Removal. The Miami treaty of 1840 provided for two additional families, those of Chief Francis Godfroy and Chief Meshingomesia, to continue to receive their share of the annuities at Fort Wayne, Indiana, essentially exempting those families also from Removal. And, on 3 March 1845, the family of Frances Slocum was exempted from Removal by a joint resolution of Congress. By 1845, most Miami National Council leaders who owned reservation land but were not exempted, also sought legal remedy to avoid Removal and protect their homes. They wrote to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, petitioned Congress, and hired Dr. Graham Fitch to lobby for them in Congress.

Using his Indian name, Toohpia, Principal Chief Francis Toohpia LaFontaine and other Miami leaders went to Washington themselves to discuss exemptions. Their letter following the visit showed them taking a new tactic to avoid Removal for Miami landowners, reflecting the reasons for the exemption of the Godfroy family and citing Indiana state law as the impediment to their Removal.

“Certain individuals of our nation, who are not permitted by treaty or by law of Congress to remain in Indiana and draw their annuities there, hold individual reservations of land by treaty, which they have improved, and upon which they are now living, and have paid taxes. A law of the State of Indiana forbids them making private sale of these lands, declaring all contracts with our people null and void. If such of our people emigrate, their farms will be ruined or sold for taxes, and their personal property, stock, etc., sacrificed. Will not our great father permit such of our people to remain upon their lands, and draw their annuities in Indiana, in the same manner as is specified in a similar permission, by treaty and by law of Congress, to a few other of our people? Such permission to be extended to those land owners (not now having it) until the legal inability to sell their lands is removed, or the U.S. buys them….”

They pointed out the hypocrisy that the federal government could force them from their homes on lands they owned as private property, a most sacred American tradition, while at the same time, the state of Indiana refused to allow them to legally sell their property. If they were removed, Miami leaders and their families would likely be swindled out of their lands, if their property was not outright stolen from them.

Dr. Graham Fitch, as a lobbyist for the National Council, sent a list to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, of the Miami who owned reservation land and wished to stay in Indiana. The list of petitioners included additional members of the family of Chief John B. Richardville, whose name was recorded as Pinšiwa ‘Wild Cat', and also the families of Misihkwa, Mahkateehsipana 'Cotesipin', Mihtekwahkia 'Coesse', Amehkoonsa 'Seek', Meehkwaahkonanka 'Benjamin', Meesancihkwa, Šowaapinamwa 'Antoine Revarre' and Waapimaankwa 'White Loon', and the heirs of Sha-co-mo and Chief Majenica. The men on this list were all prominent Miami leaders.3,2,4 
(Removal Petitioner) Miami Removal None of the 1845 petitioners were granted exemptions before the Miami's forced emigration to Kansas began, so tragically, they and their families were also "on Removal" and had to leave their homes and lands in Indiana with all of the other displaced members of the Miami tribe. They had resisted removal for six years and, with each passing year, more families were officially exempted from removal. They believed that everyone would be able to stay on individual family allotments that had been created for decades prior to 1840. All hope of resistance to removal ended, though, when private contractors and the U.S. Army were ordered to forcibly remove those that had not been exempted. U.S. Removal Agent Joseph Sinclair, however, did allow some of the petitioner's family members to temporarily stay behind to harvest the fall crops and sell their reservation land on the assumption that the state of Indiana would lift that ban on them.3,2,4,7 
(Miami Leader) Miami Removal6 October 1846The Miami's forced emigration to the Kansas Territory began on 6 October 1846 and, among those with Miami Indian blood, the only individuals who were permitted to remain in the Wabash country and not be removed to Kansas, were those who were specifically Exempted from Removal: the Meshingomesia Band, plus descendants of Chief Richardville and Francis Godfroy, the Slocum Family and Chief LaFontaine, his wife and their children. Everyone else was "on Removal". It would be winter before their grueling one-month journey brought them to their destination. In order to share their experiences as best we know how, we've copied, without changes, the description of their journey from the "Myaamia, A Living History: Myaamia Removal" source:

"On October 6th, 1846, hundreds of Myaamia were loaded onto three canal boats in Peru, Indiana – a place they called Iihkipihsinonki. Iihkipihsinonki translates to “straight place”. It was named because of the straight course of the Wabash River in that spot. From Iihkipihsinonki the canal boats were pulled along the Wabash-Erie Canal and followed the Wabash north to Ft. Wayne.

"The forced exodus began in earnest the next day, when more Myaamia were forcibly loaded onto canal boats in Ft. Wayne, known to the Myaamia as Kiihkayonki. Kiihkayonki was the original site of their largest village and was called “that Glorious Gate” by the Myaamia leader Mihšihkinaahkwa. That day the forced exodus began.

"On October 7th, Kiihkayonki became the gateway of the removal from Myaamionki. From Kiihkayonki, the five canal boats were pulled to the Miami-Erie canal and began a four-day journey south to Cincinnati, OH. On their way south the Myaamia passed numerous sites of great historical and cultural importance. They passed the site of Fort Defiance, the military bastion from which Anthony Wayne launched his final invasion into Myaamionki in 1794. They also passed Pinkwaawilenionki (Pickawillany) a prominent Myaamia village site in the mid-eighteenth century. Much of the Miami-Erie canal followed the course of the Ahsenisiipi (the Great Miami River); a river that originally was a major route of travel to their hunting grounds along the Ohio River and to their relatives who also called that beautiful place home.

"On October 11th, they reached the growing metropolis of Cincinnati, Ohio. In Cincinnati, the Myaamia were moved to the steamship Colorado, and on October 12th the ship began its journey west on the Kaanseenseepiiwi (Ohio River). While on route to the Mississippi River an infant passed away. After eight days of travel on the Colorado, they arrived in St. Louis, Missouri. The Myaamia were unloaded at Bloody Island, which lay in the middle of the Mississippi River. This location placed the group near the traditional village sites of their Inoka (Illinois) relatives and as such it was a place they knew well. However it was also at the western edge of Myaamionki. To the west lay the traditional homelands of groups that had formerly been their enemies; to their parents’ generation those western lands had been a dangerous place. Yet, the Americans told them these lands in the west were to be their new homes. Upon arriving at Bloody Island an elderly member of the group passed away. The elder and the infant that had passed earlier in the journey were buried on or near the Island according to Myaamia tribal traditions.

"On October 23rd, the Myaamia were loaded onto the steamship Clermont No. 2 and were taken north on the Mississippi River to its confluence with the Missouri River. From this point, they followed the Missouri River west to Kanza Landing, which today lies on the Missouri side of Kansas City. For the first time in their journey, these forced migrants were outside their traditional homelands. After a month of journeying, these Myaamia had moved from the forested bottomlands of the Wabash River Valley to the edge of the great American prairielands of the west. It was a very different landscape, and winter had set in.

"On November 1st, three hundred and twenty five Myaamia were unloaded at Kanza Landing. The next day they traveled the final fifty miles of their journey to Osage River sub-agency in the Unorganized Territory (Kansas). They arrived at Sugar Creek on Nov. 5th, of 1846. It was winter on the plains and the people were forced to sleep in government issued tents and eat government rations until they could build more permanent structures.

"After only just arriving in Kansas the Myaamia were told they had to move again. Kansas was becoming a state and hoped to move American Indians south to Oklahoma to open up land for settlers. In 1873, a small group of Myaamia traveled 150 miles south to what is today Miami, Oklahoma completing the final leg of a journey that began back in Indiana twenty-seven years earlier."7,9,10 
(Return to Indiana) Miami RemovalSpring 1847 Following the 1846 forced Miami Removal to Kansas, several Miami families quietly made their way back to their homelands in Indiana. In the Spring of 1847, among those who, traveling together, returned to Indiana were the families of Principal Chief Francis Toohpia LaFontaine, White Loon, Mia-que-ah, Antoine Revarre and Coesse. They had spent the winter in Kansas and, on the journey home, Chief LaFontaine became ill.3,2,4,11,12 
(Miami Leader) Death13 April 1847 Sadly, Chief LaFontaine didn't make it all the way home. He died on 13 April 1847 in Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, at about age 37. Although members of his family believed he had been poisoned, Lafontaine's weight and the rigors of travel are believed by most to have been more likely causes of his death.13,9 
Death*1849Antoine Revarre died in 1849.1 
(Exempted in 1850) Miami Removal1850 In 1850, the U.S. Congress granted official removal exemptions to the additional members of the family of Miami Chief John B. Richardville, whose name was recorded as Pinšiwa ‘Wild Cat', and also the families of Waapimaankwa 'White Loon', Šowaapinamwa 'Antoine Revarre', Mihtekwahkia 'Coesse', Misihkwa, Oonseentia 'John Osandiah', Mahkateehsipana 'Cotesipin', Amehkoonsa 'Seek', Mahkateemaankwa, Amehkoonsihkwa 'wife of Benjamin', Kinooseensa 'Peter Langlois' and Elizabeth Langlois, identifying them as specific Miami tribal leaders, community members, individuals, families, and their descendants who had returned to Indiana after the forced removals. With this action, Congress formally legalized their returns, allowing them to remain in Indiana permanently.

The names of Sha-co-mo, Chief Majenica and Meesancihkwa, or Chief Little Turtle, whose family members had also requested exemptions from Removal, were not included, nor was any mention of their heirs.3,2,4 
Miami Removal*Antoine Revarre had died the year before the U.S. Congress granted his family's Exemption from the Miami Removal. His 1850 Exemption permitted his family to remain on their land in Indiana while continuing to receive their annuities there. The Exemption included Revarre's wife, Kilsoquah, and their two daughters, Elizabeth (Revarre) Froman and Mary E. Revarre. Their son, Anthony Revarre, who was born in December of 1849, was also exempted.14,3 
(Father) Will5 May 1874Kilsoquah and Antoine Revarre's children, Mary E. Revarre and Anthony Revarre, were named as the sole beneficiaries, share and share alike, in the will of White Loon dated 5 May 1874, and probated in Allen County, Indiana, on 20 January 1877.15 
Burial* At the request of Kilsoquah, her physician, Dr. S. Koontz, many years before her death located the bones of her husband, Sha-Pe-Ne-Mah, who had died in 1849, and had them disinterred. Dr. Koontz kept them in his office awaiting the death of Kilsoquah. After she died, Kilsoquah and Sha-Pe-Ne-Mah were buried together in Glenwood Cemetery, Roanoke, Huntington County.16,8 
(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.17,18,19,20,21,22,23

Family
Father*Antoine Revarre2 d. 1849
Mother*Kilsoquah2,3,4,5 b. May 1810, d. 4 Sep 1915
(Family Member) Name SpellingsA variation in the spelling of the Revarre surname found in our research was Revoir.6 
Birth*1841Elizabeth Revarre was born about 1841 in Indiana.4 
Name VariationHer Indian name was No oc quah ze quah.2 
Relationship Note*Elizabeth Revarre and Thomas F. Richardville were 3rd cousins 1 time removed. 
(Daughter) Miami RemovalSisters, Elizabeth (Revarre) Froman and Mary E. Revarre, were exempted with their parents and other family members in 1850 from the Miami Removal from Indiana. Their father had died the year before, and the family's exemption permitted his family to remain on their land in Indiana while continuing to receive their annuities there. Their brother, Anthony Revarre, who was born in December of 1849, was also exempted.7,8 
Marriage*17 June 1866She married John R. Froman, son of Greenberry Froman and Rachael Gormley, on 17 June 1866 in Miami County, Kansas. They were married at the residence of John Bigley by Elizabeth's cousin, the Reverend Thomas Richardville, Minister of the Gospel.9,5 
Census US 1870*1 July 1870Elizabeth and John R. Froman were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 1 July 1870 in Miami, Miami County, Kansas. John was 24 years of age and a farmer with a personal estate valued at $200, and Elizabeth was 29 years of age, unable to read or write, and was keeping the house. Their daughter, Mary A., was 3 years old, and baby, William H., had been born in March and was recorded as age 2½ months. Also enumerated with the family in 1870 was John's father, Greenberry Froman, who was 55 years of age, was reported to have no occupation, and was unable to write.4 
Death*before 1880She had died in Indiana before 1880, probably in her mid-to-late 30s. Her younger son, James Froman, who was only about 6 years old years old at the time of her death, was appointed a guardian.10,11,1 
Guardianship*3 April 1890 The Circuit Court, Huntington County, Indiana, reported that Waren Ladd, guardian of Sah-co-quah, alias James Froman, minor heir of Elizabeth (Revarre) Froman, deceased, had submitted his current report and that he had in his hands $439.05 due his ward. His report was approved and the estate continued. Then, on 26 January 1892, it was reported that the Circuit Court had approved the current report of Warren Ladd, guardian for James Froman.10,11 
(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.12,13,14,15,16,17,18

Death*10 March 1917She died at age 72 on or about 10 March 1917 at her home in Pottawatomie County, located about 7½ miles east and south of Asher, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.17 
Probate*8 May 1917Her estate was opened for probate after her daughter, Jessie Brown, submitted a petition to the County Court, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 8 May 1917, requesting that August Zoeller be appointed the estate's administrator. Ater the required legal notices had been published regarding Jessie's petition, a hearing was held by the court on 24 May 1917. The court found that August Zoeller was a proper and suitable person for the trust, and there being no objections, appointed him Administrator of the estate as requested in the petition of Jessie Brown.18 
Estate*8 May 1917Also filed by the court on 8 May 1917, with her daughter Jessie's petition for probate of her mother's estate, was a document Jessie had prepared, signed, sworn to and notarized on 5 May 1917 in preparation of petitioning the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, to appoint an administrator for her mother's estate. From that document we learned that the estate of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, was believed by Jessie to consist of $300 of money in the bank and 50 acres of land in Section three, Township five, Range four East I.M. in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma valued at $2,000. She stated in the document that, in respect to the Letters of Administration she had requested, the value of the estate did not exceed $2,500. Regarding her relationship to the deceased, Jessie stated she was a daughter, 29 years of age, and resided in Asher, Oklahoma. She believed she was her mother's next of kin and her heir at law; that she left no other children or grandchildren and that her husband was dead at the time of her death. In the same document, Jessie waived the issuance of Letters of Administration to herself and requested the appointment of August Zoeller to be the administrator.19 
Probate*14 June 1917In regard to the probate of her estate, her brother, Anthony Revarre, submitted a petition to the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 14 June 1917. In it he stated that on 24 May 1917 an order was entered by the court appointing August Zoeller as administrator of the estate of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, upon the petition of Jessie Brown, filed on 8 May 1917. He stated that in that petition, Jessie Brown had alleged that she was a daughter of the decedent and that she waived issuance of letters to herself and requested the appointment of August Zoeller as the administrator of her mother's estate.

Anthony's petition further stated that Jessie Brown was not a daughter by blood of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, and was never adopted by Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor in any form or manner as required by law, and that Jessie Brown was not an heir at law of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor and was not entitled to a share in the distribution of the estate of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor.

He stated that Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor had died intestate on or about 10 March 1917, and that diligent search had been made for a will of the decedent, but none had been found.

He stated that he, Anthony Revarre, was the sole and only surviving brother of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, and was the only surviving heir at law of said decedent, and was entitled to receive all of the property left by said decedent, and was entitled to appointment as administrator of the estate, and that no person had a superior right to that appointment above the rights of himself.

He stated that if there were any other heirs at law of his sister, the decedent, their names, places of residence and place of business were not known to him, and could not be ascertained by any means within his control.

His petition additionally stated that the property left by his sister in the County of Pottawatomie, State of Oklahoma consisted of real and personal property of the value and character as follows, to wit: About $300 in money, some chickens of uncertain value, household goods, and certain real estate which Anthony was informed and believed was not subject to administration under the jurisdiction of that court, but only subject to administration by the officers of the United States Government.

It went on to state that the decedent, his sister, Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, at the time of her death was a resident of Pottawatomie County, and died in Pottawatomie County, at her home about seven and one-half miles east and south of Asher in Pottawatomie County.

He stated that he, Anthony Revarre, was a resident of the State of Indiana.

Wherefore, Anthony petitioned, that the order appointing August Zoeller administrator be vacated and set aside, and that George E. McKinnis of Shawnee, Oklahoma, a proper person be appointed administrator of the estate. He further requested that a day be set for hearing his petition, and that notice be given of the hearing by posting and publication as required by law and in addition thereto that written notice be given to the said Jessie Brown and to the said August Zoeller of the time and place set for the hearing at least five days before the hearing.

Although it was dated 15 June 1917, Anthony Revarre likely signed his petition, under oath, before a notary public, on 14 June 1917, since it was filed by the court on that date.

In an order, also dated 14 June 1917, the court ordered that his petition be heard before the County Court on the 30th of June, 1917, at 10:00 a.m., a day of the regular April term of the County Court of Pottawatomie County.20,21 
Probate23 July 1917In the matter of the administration of her estate, her brother Anthony's petition to change the administrator from August Zoeller to George E. McKinnis was heard on 23 July 1917, a regular judicial day of the July 1917 term of the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Zoeller had originally been appointed two months earlier at the request of Jessie Brown, who was his sister's daughter, Anthony's niece. During the hearing, Jessie Brown and August Zoeller confirmed they were aware of Anthony Revarre's petition, and that they were in agreement that Revere’s request for the appointment of George E. McKinnis as administrator of the estate.

It was then considered, ordered and adjudged by the court that the order entered on 24 May 1917 appointing August Zoeller Administrator of the Estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, be set aside, vacated and held for naught, and August Zoeller was ordered to make and file a report with the court, within ten days from and after the date of the order, of all his acts as Administrator, including an inventory and statement of any and all property belonging to the estate coming to his hands as Administrator.

It was further ordered, adjudged and decreed that George E. McKinnis be and is appointed Administrator of the estate.22 
Probate7 October 1918In the matter of the administration of her estate, a hearing was scheduled to be held in the County Court room, Tecumseh, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 7 October 1918, at 2:30 o'clock p.m.. Notices had been published in Oklahoma newspapers as required by law, beginning on 16 August 1918. They reported that Anthony Revarre was the sole and only heir of the decedent, and that Jessie Brown had appeared in the cause claiming an interest in the estate, and that she was the only person besides Anthony Revarre who had appeared and claimed any interest in the course of the estate's administration. The notice, issued by W. S. Pendleton, County Judge, stated that Jessie Brown, and all other persons interested in the estate, named or not named, having or claiming any interest in the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, were ordered to appear at the hearing and exhibit their respective claims of heirship, ownership, or interest in the estate.

Researcher's Note: We have found no evidence that this hearing ever took place, although we also discovered the reasons why at the hearing held a week later.23,24,25,26 
(Deceased) Death4 November 1918Her brother, Anthony Revarre, died on or about 4 November 1918 in Bement, Piatt County, Illinois, at about age 70.27,28,29 
(Deceased) Probate12 February 1919Her brother's Oklahoma estate was opened for probate on 12 February 1919 in the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, with the appointment of George E. McKinnis as administrator. His Letters of Administration stated that the last will of Anthony Revarre, deceased, a copy of which was thereto annexed, having been proved and recorded in the County Court of Piatt County, Illinois, and the Executrices therein named, (Pearl Groves, 125½ N. Franklin Street, Danville, Illinois, and Mrs. Millie Anders, 227 S. Main street, Decatur, Illinois), being non-residents of Oklahoma, and having filed a petition for the appointment of George E. McKinnis, George E. McKinnis was appointed administrator with the will annexed.30 
Probate14 October 1921In the matter her estate, attorneys for her brother, Anthony Revarre, filed a request with the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 14 October 1921, for permission to withdraw a petition they had filed previously which had asked the court to determine the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. Their new petition referred to certain real estate being the allotment of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, as an adopted member of the Pottawatomie Tribe of Indians; that the land was at the time of the death of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, under the charge and control of the Department of the Interior and was not in any manner subject to administration under the laws of the State of Oklahoma; that since the death of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, the Secretary of the Interior had, under the Acts of Congress in such case made and provided, after hearings duly had and conducted, determined the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased; that the Pottawatomie County Court had never acquired jurisdiction over the said land, nor to determine the heirship thereto, nor the interest of the heirs in the land; that the petition to determine heirship and all other pleadings pertaining to the determination of heirship merely encumber the record herein.

Wherefore, the attorneys for Anthony Revarre asked the court to permit them to withdraw all pleadings, and proceedings of every nature or kind pertaining to the determination of heirship in the cause.

The request was signed and notarized by G. C. Abernathy, an attorney with Abernathy & Howell, on 14 October 1921.24 
Probate14 October 1921On the same date of 14 October 1921 that the attorneys for Anthony Revarre had filed their request, it being one of the regular days of the October 1921 term of the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, the court heard their application to withdraw their petition for determination of heirship, and all the proceedings therein in the matter of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. The order the court issued in the case as a result of the hearing stated that said application ought to be granted and that it was therefore considered, ordered, adjudged and decreed that the petition, notices of hearing, demurrer and any and all orders made in connection with such petition be and same are hereby stricken from the files in said cause, and permission is granted to withdraw all such pleadings, papers, notices, orders, etc. pertaining thereto.

The order was signed by Clarence Robinson, County Judge, and signing his agreement or acceptance with an "O.K." was Maile Goode, as the attorney for Jessie Brown. The firm of Abernathy & Howell, attorneys for Anthony Revarre, who had initiated the hearing, also signed the document.25 
Administration*14 October 1921 Also on 14 October 1921, in the matter of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, George E. McKinnis, Administrator, submitted his Final Account and Petition for Distribution and Discharge to the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. His petition stated that the time for creditors to submit claims had expired on 24 November 1917, but he had received no claims, and that if any claims existed, they had long since been barred by the Statute of Limitations, and reported that, at that time, there were no claims against the estate.

His petition next reported a full and correct statement of his receipts, expenses and disbursements by himself as administrator, of the estate, adding that no property, except money, had been received by him as administrator, so no appraisement had been necessary. He reported total receipts as $342.34, consisting of $309.40 from the Oklahoma State Bank of Konawa and $32.94 in interest to June 1, 1921; the total expenses of the estate were reported as $139.52, consisting of his paid out expenses as administrator of $72.40, the Administrator's fee of $17.12, and attorneys' fees of $50.00; and he reported $202.82 as his balance on hand.

His petition went on to allege that he was entitled to receive, as he had included in his report, the $17.12 in fees as the administrator of the estate. He also stated that, as far as the attorneys' fees he had included, that Abernathy & Howell, attorneys, had prepared all papers, and performed all the usual services incident to the administration of the estate, and that he, as the court's Administrator of the estate, had paid the attorneys, Abernathy & Howell, $50.00 for their services rendered in connection with the administration. He added that the amount was not to cover any compensation the attorneys were to receive for their services connected with hearings conducted by the Secretary of the Interior to determine the heirship of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, and the persons entitled to inherit her allotment.

His petition stated, further, that Mary E. Taylor left surviving her no husband, nor children, nor child or children of any deceased child or children, nor father, nor mother, nor sisters, and only one brother, to-wit: Anthony Revarre, who was the sole and only surviving heir at law of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, and who was entitled to inherit all of the property left by Mary E. Taylor, deceased.

He went on to state that Anthony Revarre had died on or about 4 November 1918 in Bement, Piatt County, Illinois, leaving a last will and testament which was being probated in this Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, as a foreign will in case# 2563. He stated that he, himself, had been appointed administrator, with the , will annexed, of the last will and testament of Anthony Revarre, deceased, and that all of the rest, residue and remainder of the property belonging to the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, should be distributed to himself, George E. McKinnis, as administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

His petition closed with the statement that all the lawful debts of the estate of Mary E. Taylor had been paid and that her estate was ready for settlement and distribution. Wherefore, he requested that his final account be allowed and confirmed, and that upon that being allowed and settled, that the residue belonging to her estate be distributed as requested above, and that thereupon he, George E. McKinnis, be discharged from his duties as administrator of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased.

His petition had been signed and notarized on 4 October 1921 by George E. McKinnis.26 
Probate29 October 1921 The Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, on 29 October 1921, issued a Final Decree regarding the administration of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased. The court's document reviewed each of the matters reported and requested in the petition of the administrator, George E. McKinnis, accepting and approving each. Lastly, the court ordered, adjudged and decreed that the described property of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, which amounted to $202.82, be and hereby is transferred, vested, assigned and conveyed to George E. McKinnis, administrator with the will annexed, of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

On the same date, in open court, the judge read the court's Final Discharge, stating that it was adjudged and decreed that George E. McKinnis, Administrator of the estate of Mary E. Taylor, deceased, had fully and faithfully discharged the duties of his trust; that he was thereby wholly and absolutely discharged from all further duties and responsibilities as the administrator and that the letters of administration were thereby vacated; and declared the estate fully distributed, and the trust closed, and George E. McKinnis and his sureties thereby released from any liability to be hereafter incurred.31 
(Deceased) Probate4 January 1922An itemized accounting of the charges of R. C. Stuart against the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased, was received and filed on 4 January 1922 by the Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Stuart listed: Seventeen months that Revarre had boarded at Stuart's home at the rate of seven dollars per month, or $119.00; Money loaned in the sum of $50.00; Paid the sum of $40.55 for Doctor services and medicine.32

His report stated that notice to creditors of the estate to submit claims had been given according to law as according to affidavits on file with the court.

His report listed one item of receipt and two disbursements: Anthony Revarre's estate had received $202,82 from the estate of his sister, Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, of which George E. McKinnis was also the administrator; and the disbursements were $25.00 for costs and $25.00 for his Administrator's fee. He stated that $152.82 was the amount remaining in the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

He next stated that, as the administrator of the estate with the will annexed, he had been presented with a claim for board and room and amounts expended for medicines, and that had been allowed by himself as administrator, and approved by the court, in the sum of $209.55 in favor of R. C. Stuart. He wrote that the remaining $152.82 should be paid to the said R. C. Stuart on his claim.

He stated that he, as administrator with the will annexed, had not received any other or further sums of money nor property than as above stated, nor had he taken possession, or control of any real estate belonging to the deceased.

Additionally, he reported that the deceased, Anthony Revarre, had been held by the Honorable Secretary of the Interior to be the sole surviving heir at law of Mary E. (Revarre) Taylor, deceased, but that the determination was made long after the death of the said Anthony Revarre, deceased, but that patent for the real estate embraced in said allotment was issued directly to the persons named in the last will and testament of Anthony Revarre, deceased, to-wit: Mrs. Millie Anders and Pearl Groves, and that the said real estate was never in the possession or control of the administrator, himself, George E. McKinnis.

He further stated, as administrator with the will annexed, that if there were any debts other than that to R. C. Stuart above named, they had been barred by the Statute of Limitations, and that the balance remaining on hand after court costs and Administrator's fees should be paid to the said R. C. Stuart, aforesaid, to be applied in satisfaction of his claim against the estate, aforesaid.

He then reported that the said decedent left surviving him no widow, nor child nor children, nor child or children of any deceased child or children, nor father, nor mother, nor brother, nor sister, but did leave a last will and testament, which had been admitted to probate, and in said will Mrs. Millie Anders and Pearl Groves were named as sole devisees.

In his last paragraph, which began... Wherefore, he petitioned the court that his final account as above set forth be allowed and confirmed; that upon the same being allowed and settled the residue belonging to the estate be distributed as above requested; and that thereupon said George E. McKinnis be discharged from his duties as such administrator with the will annexed of the estate of Anthony Revarre, deceased.

After swearing his oath that his document was true and correct, George E. McKinnis signed and notarized his name on 2 May 1922.33 
(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.34,35,36,37,38,39,40
