My wife and her family have "family stories" about being related to Little Turtle, but no doc. proof. Are there any know living decendants to him that may be able to help link her family to his. Her family seems to think that a Clara Long is the link that puts them in his line. I am unable to get any info. from the Miami Indians in Indiana. They say they do not have this info. As well there are supposed indian relation that has the line but is unwilling to share? Again this is "rumor".

There are 2 Little Turtle related family trees on rootsweb.com
One does have several LONGS on it, but none named Clara. This tree has 3501 people on it.
http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=:1923165&surname=Little+Turtle%2C+Chief
The other tree is at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1567038&id=I105 and it only has 163 people on it.
I suggest you contact the people who submitted these trees and see if they can guide you further on your quest. There email addresses are on the pages I gave you.
Good luck...
