(Margaret's Mother Died When she was 4 years old, she would of been Razed by the second wife
a Sauteuse Indian. Maybe this would be a partial explanation to her husband John Bapte. SansCrainte and son of the same name intimate ties with the Indians besides being born
at the Coast of the Potowatomies and having a brother that was half blood-(Kevin Lajiness)

HUGH HEWARD'S JOURNAL FROM DETROIT
TO THE ILLINOIS: 1790

Thursday Ap1 1st 1790. Early in the Morning came to red
Cedar under the high Banks & continued with a Strong
Current the Water by the Banks to nearly Mid Day when
we met with several Small pine Trees the Banks still high
& barren abounding with diminutive Red Oak Trees & the
Soil with Fern, about 4 oClock passed an Indian Cabbin
& Cornfield & arrd at Sans Craints5 before Sun Set. Distance
& Course nearly as yesterday. Encamped.
Friday April 2d 1790. Could not get an Indian to pass
the Portage but engaged one to meet us at the Fork of the
River to conduct us this Post seems to furnish good small
peltrie Sanscrannt seems to have about 12 packs. Set off
about 10 oClock our Course up the River nearly West

Notes:
5 On the Sanscrainte line see ante, 324. Apparently the individual here noted
was Jean Baptiste Romain dit Sanscrainte who was born in 1754 and married at
Detroit, Oct. 13, 1778, Margaret Solo. She was buried here on March 19, 1793.
They had several children born at Detroit, most of whom subsequently became
residents of River Raisin settlement. Sanscrainte was bitterly accused by the
British authorities of pro-American activities prior and subsequent to Wayne's
campaign of 1794. See Denissen, op. cit., and Mich. Pio. Colls., XII, 162 ff.
