Advisory on Mother of Tecumseh

There is a commonly repeated story that the mother of Tecumseh was Mary Bayles, wife of Andrew Ice, son of Frederick Ice. As the story goes, Mary Bayles, was stolen by the Indians and returned several years later with a 2 year old son whom she called Tecumseh. This story is easily contradicted since Mary Bayles was born in 1763, and Tecumseh was born in 1768. [1]
