This is page one of two pages of historical information about Morgan Lewis Payne who is the Uncle of Permelia Ann Payne, my great grandmother.  Her father was John Payne, Jr.              

                                      See Page Two.

For those who are interested, you will find below the narrative,  pictures of Chief Black Hawk.  In the first he is shown in his Chief of the Sauk Indians regalia and in the second drawing he is depicted later in life in his "civilized" dress.

Also, you will find a Internet connection to a Black Hawk biography.



Interestingly enough, Black Hawk's people were sent to a reservation in Tama County, Iowa where his descendents live today on the Mesquakie Indian Reservation.  This reservation is just a "hop, skip and a jump" from land owned by the father of Permelia Ann Payne's husband,  Joseph Malcom.
