Mary Soek-o-chock-quah Robertson1,2

b. 1824, d. 20 September 1888
Family
Mother*Sarah __?__3,2,4 b. 1808, d. Sep 1878
Birth*1824She was born as Mary Robertson about 1824.2 
Name VariationHer Indian name was Soek-o-chock-quah1 
Name Variation and was commonly known as Aunt Polly.1,2 
Marriage*1843She married Pe-con-ge-oh, son of Meshingomesia and Tak-e-quah, about 1843. The wife of Pecongeah was Sock-o-chock-quah, who was commonly
known as Aunt Polly. They had five sons and one daughter
whose English names were William, Robert, Jacob, Thomas, Peter and
Mary. William and Robert married granddaughters of Frances Slocum.
William had no children. The rest of the Peconga family had
children and there are many descendants today.1,2,5 
(Wife) Children The wife of Pecongeah, Soek-o-chock-quah, whose English name was Mary, was commonly known as Aunt Polly. They had five sons and one daughter together whose English names were William, Robert, Jacob, Thomas, Peter and Mary. William and Robert Peconga married granddaughters of Frances Slocum. William had no children. Robert and his other siblings created many descendants.6 
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!3,7,2,8,9,10,4 
(Aunt) Illness1879Her husband did not live to see the mistake of the division of his father's reservation. During the summer of 1879, Aunt Polly and Pe-con-ge-oh's nephew, Nelson Tawataw, became ill with tuberculosis. He had just finished building his fine new brick house. One visitor to that home reported that she saw, at one time in that house, not only Nelson Tawataw, but also his grandparents, Meshingomesia and Tak-e-quah, his father Aw-taw-waw-taw, his uncle and aunt, Pe-con-ge-oh and Aunt Polly, and other Indians. With the exception of Pe-con-ge-oh's wife, Nelson and all the others of those just named died before the following Christmas. They were buried in the Indian cemetery just back of the Indian church. Fine tombstones for that day were erected to their memory.11 
(Wife) Death16 September 1879Mary became a widow when Pe-con-ge-oh died on 16 September 1879 at about age 64.8 
Death*20 September 1888She died on 20 September 1888 at the Indian reservation seven miles northwest of Marion, Grant County, Indiana, at about age 64. Her obituary identified her as the widow of Charles Peconga, the last recognized chief of the Miami Indians, who were scattered over the counties of Grant, Miami and Wabash. Mrs. Peconga never spoke any language but the Indian, and was a consistent Christian and member of the Baptist Church.2 
Burial*She was buried in the Miami Indian Cemetery, Fox, Grant County.2 
(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
