Silverheels-6 and Cornstalk-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same dates, mostly the same name. The real Silverheels lived in the second half of the 18th century. Brother of the real Cornstalk

Linda, this is the mythical version of the real man. See Shawnee-45 for the real Cornstalk. Please note that none of your references included his ancestry. He was not the son of Moytoy.

Hokolesqua Cornstalk was a REAL person - Don Greene's Shawnee Heritage info on him was totally fabricated. However he did exist.

Hokolesqua was the son of AmaDoHiYi "Pigeon of Tellico" Moytoy & Hawwaythi. Following are references for the REAL Hokolesqua.

All of the sources and the biography refer to a person born around 1720. This is not the same person.
