GIEM, MOEDE, SPEELMAN
Looking for information on Caitassia 'Katy' [Speelman] Giem b. September 21, 1849 OH.Another researcher sent me the following information:
"On the back of a pix it tells how Kate's parents were a French trapper and a full blooded Indian woman who was born near the Tuscaras River in OH. They wound up running a trading post in Reeds Landing, MN.That is where Herman Moede met Kate. Her mother may have been either Sioux or Shawnee, but that is pretty much all we know."
I found the following census:
1880 Oakwood, Wabasha County, MN / p526a
Herman MOEDE 37NATIVE Shoemaker------
Katie MOEDE Wife 30 OH Keeping House------
John MOEDE Son 5 MN---OH
Clara V MOEDE Dau 3 MN ---OH
Christopher MOEDE Son 1 MN ---OH
George SPEELMAN SSon 11 MN At School OHOH
Edward B SPEELMAN SSon MN At School OHOH
I believe it's incorrect as far as saying Herman Moede was a NATIVE.He was b. in Prussia, Germany.KATIE was the NATIVE.Apparently she was md. once before since there are two stepchildren.
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated!
