Evaluation-Summary of McBride-editor's Appendix E +
Draft...
Who was J. G. Olden?
Was his work reviewed? Check JStor.
Were his Miss Birkit and "heads on pikes" reports cooroborated?
---
Make chart:
List key facts -
Dates
Torture
Escape
Savages... [it's routine to demonize enemies around wartimes.] [They were defeated, but
also decimated]
List primary & secondary sources -
Lt. Kingsbury
Harmer
Burnet
Hahn-Cist - iffy?
Wallace-Cist - best report?
Wiseman - dates off! Daylight escape!
...
Do I have 1819 Farnsworth's Cincinnati Directory, Pg 22?
...
McBride, Reily and Wallace agreed with original military report 'dates,' and 'use of torture:'
'Wallace and Wiseman snuck out at 3 a.m., met rescuers alerted by hunter named Cox.'
from Ludlow's Station according to Olden.
How does this compare to torture story?
1850 Cist interviews with William Wiseman (81, orig age 22) and Samuel Hahn (73, then 14)
are 59 year old memories which are less reliable than primary sources.
Hahn was 'circumstantial.'
Wiseman was off by a month.
Appendix A - Judge Burnet:
Seems sympathetic to natives, committed to whole truth, but still used "savages"
description.
Hight as Lady Bird Johnson's cuz?
Terri Hight:
"Becky, Do you remember family info that Lady Bird Johnson was Grandpa Hight's cousin?"

Usufruct property law
In tribal cultures, usufruct means the land is owned in common by the tribe, but families and individuals have the right to use certain plots of land. Most Indian tribes owned things like land as a group, and not as individuals. The family never owned the land, they just farmed it. This is called usufruct land ownership. A person must make (more or less) continuous use of the item, or else he loses ownership rights. This is usually referred to as "possession property" or "usufruct". Thus, in this usufruct system, absentee ownership is illegitimate.

The best information seems to be from Larry Shad in 2012 for the Coleraine Historical Society.
For another view see Wikimapia (2007).
It's connection to the Hopewell era enclosure is shown below, with the 1848 map.

Our Burget Stories - my Dad's Mom's family
In 1776, three days before the American Colonies declared Independence, Martin and Betsey Bugart baptized their son Emanuel at the German-speaking Himmell Lutheran Church in the Province of Pennsylvania. This is the first evidence for our "Burget" family, so far. The area was defended by Fort Augusta, and at risk from the British and their allies, the Iroquois Confederacy. The 1778 Battle of Wyoming may have led to their seeking the apparently-safer land west of the Alleghenies.
(draft iPhoto Journal page)
Around 1840 the William & Lydia (Keever) Burget family joined the influx of settlers to the recently 'ceded' but not vacated Miami tribes' Seven-Mile Strip. Burget's Corner rose from this swampy, fertile land and became the social and business center of Johnson Township, Clinton County, Indiana.
(J says this jump is jarring; perhaps add graphic.)
Jean, Mary (Curry), Bill Jake & William Burget
By 1790 the Birgits had acquired a plot in the Symmes Purchase, probably after taking a wagon and livestock, along with their supplies along the Forbe's Trail to Fort Pitt, and a flatboat down the Ohio River. They lived in a cabin which was part of the remote Dunlap's Station, housing about a dozen families and a few soldiers. This was following the construction of Fort Washington, not far from an old Hopewell Era earthworks on the Great Miami River. Their farm would have been just outside and the cabin inside this Coleraine Fort. However, it in the disputed Shawnee (British) Northwest Territory near what became Cincinnati. Martin, my 5GGFather, was killed while escaping a small native raid in April, 1792, having survived the brutal, storied Seige of the previous year.

More recently, my GGMother Jean Burget married into the prominant Sipe Dog & Pony Shows' family. She was a professional pianist, particularly before the filmed 'talkies,' and was said to have played with Hoagy Carmichael.
