Notes:

Family tradition says that we are part Indian. If so;
the only place one would fit, would have to be Israel's
wife.
Pictures of Jane Susan Pulsifer at Ironville
Museum (Crown Point) give the appearence
of strong Indian facial features. Descendants
from Jane's brother Lorenzo, also carry in
some of them, this strong Indian charactor-
istic. Dark hair and eyes and high cheek bones.
