While I am not a descendant of Tecumseh, I am however a relative. My 3rd great grandmother Pricilla Perkins was captured 1812, she was one of five wives of Tenskwatawa, brother of Tecumseh. Their daughter, Marcia was born NY Dec 25 1814, married Orrin B Cummins Erie Co NY 1834. Marcia(Bates)Cummins died Van Buren Co Mich 1871. My g grandfather, Samuel Markus Cummins, was Orrin B and Marcia Cummins youngest child. Samuel and Sylvia (Conner)Cummins son Edward Cummins is my grandfather, my mother is Edna Cummins. The family says they had documentation of the relationship to Tenskwatawa. I have been told all my live that I was a descendant of an Indian Chief, but only recently have I found out his name, thanks to new information from a cousin. Would like to know more about your line.
