Biography

AhKeCheLungUnAqua (also spelt Achechelungunaqua) was born about 1760. Ah-Ke-Che-Lung-Un-Aqua Nln ... She passed away about 1805.

TWEEHULLAHLA Descendancy Chart (From Helen York Rose, I Walked in the Footsteps of My Ancestors, p 174a)

Spouse 1: Achechelungunaqua of the Turtle Clan of the Delaware, a sister of Captain Patterson

She was of the Turtle Clan Unami and was sister to Meshaquowha-Captain William Patterson. He became Chief of the Cape Girardeau Delaware Band, after the death of Kikthawenund, Chief William Anderson. It is through Ahkechelungunaqua that our family is related to the prominent Ketchum Family.

AhKeCheLungUnAqua is said to have been the sister of Mehshayquowha (Captain Patterson) and the widow of Twehullalla or Tweehulala (Chief George Ketchum). William Anderson married second Ahkechelungunaqua who brought with her two sons, Lapahnihe (Big Bear) Ketchum and Queshatowha (John Ketchum), and a daughter, Aukeelenqua ( Nancy Ketchum)

An additional entry for Wilaquenaho regarding her maternal grandmother Ahkechelungunaqua was submitted by Laurence D. Heady: She was of the Turtle Clan Unami and was sister to Meshaquowha-Captain William Patterson. He became Chief of the Cape Girardeau Delaware Band, after the death of Kikthawenund, Chief William Anderson. It is through Ahkechelungunaqua that our family is related to the prominent Ketchum Family.

Name

Name: Ahkechrlungunaqua Ah-ke-che-lung-un-aqua

Conflict with birth dates of father / spouse / and siblings.. Original set to 1760. Since there is no proof of anyone's birth date in this period, it is all a best fit. I believe the more correct birth date to be 1755. This allows for the birth of her children and siblings, and the death and marriage and re-marriage. Kirt Fetterling 11/10/17

  • Echelangonaockwe's mother was possibly Ahkechelungunaqua, a sister of Mehshaquowha (Captain Patterson). If this is so, then it appears that Mekinges/Makengis/Macunchis was her sister or half sister because they appear to have shared the same mother, Ahkechelungunaqua. It would then follow that Mekengis was Wilaquenaho's aunt. It is also possible that Betsy Wilaquenaho might have gone by the name of Ketchum because she was adopted or for some other reason. However, Mrs. Melinda Wilcoxen said in Perl Morgan, History of Wyandotte County, 1911, that her aunt and two of her cousins had married white men. These women are thought to have been Wilaquenaho and her daughters Anna Marshall and Rosanna Marshall, suggesting that they were of the Ketchum Family. In any event, it appears that Wilaquenaho was a Ketchum descendant. Helen York Rose in I Walked in the Footsteps of My Grandfather, p 178, says that her father was Twehullahlah. We are still trying to sort all of this out.

And, another approach, "As you know your Achechelungunaqua was the 2nd wife of Chief William Anderson ... her first husband was TWEE HUL LAH LAH nicked named Ketchum. Children, step children made no difference in those times...what a concept! Pratt gave us the last look at Chief William Anderson and wrote about his wives! " (Peggy Smith ) A difficult person to research.

An additional entry for Wilaquenaho regarding her maternal grandmother Ahkechelungunaqua was submitted by Laurence D. Heady: She was of the Turtle Clan Unami and was sister to Meshaquowha-Captain William Patterson. He became Chief of the Cape Girardeau Delaware Band, after the death of Kikthawenund, Chief William Anderson. It is through Ahkechelungunaqua that our family is related to the prominent Ketchum Family.

190. Possibly (Delaware) Twehulalla (George) Ketchum "English: Could Run and Catch a Deer, i.e., Catch Them" was born in possibly Pennsylvania. He married Ahkechelungunaqua. 191. (Delaware) Ahkechelungunaqua died about 1805.

MEKINGEES/MEKINGES/MEKINGIS Elizabeth possibly KETCHUM--[Data are being entered and edited. This is a difficult entry. I would appreciate any of your comments or ideas. ] Revised 12 November 2002. Mekinges and its other spellings, is a variation of the Lenape word Macunchis, meaning "Last Born," that is, "the Youngest". Her English name is Elizabeth (possibly Ketchum). She was born after 1780. Some have said that Mekinges may have been the daughter of Chief William Anderson, but there is evidence to the contrary and nothing to support the Anderson connection. (See end notes 1 and 2 for a further discussion of her ancestry). In any event, she grew up in Chief Anderson's home on the White River in Indiana on the lands reserved to the Delaware.1 Mekinges's mother was Ahkechelungunaqua. Her mother is said to have been the sister of Mehshayquowha (Captain Patterson) and the widow of Twehullalla or Tweehulala (George Ketchum). William Anderson married second Ahkechelungunaqua who brought with her two sons, Lapahnihe (Big Bear) Ketchum and Queshatowha (John Ketchum), and a daughter, Aukeelenqua ( Nancy Ketchum).2

Family Tree I am repairing a birth date CONFLICT Notes from Kirt Fetterling I agree with some of Chief Thomas Swiftwater Hahn writings about Twehullahlah decendency. The birth dates do not make since if we show EcheLangoNaOckwe and husband unknown being the parents of Wilaquenaho Betsey. I therefore will go back to Twehullahlah and Ahkechlungunaqua as the parents of Wilaquenaho Betsey.

2. Echelangonaoqua, married a chief. They had a daughter Ahquamdegauackwe. [This source varies from others that indicate that Echelangonaockwe was the mother of Wilaquenaho. Editor]
