Biography

A previous version of this profile (at its creation) claimed this person was Octs, a woman of the Mohawk Hertel Turtle Clan born about 1595 and died about 1651, and wife or mate of Jacques Hertel (-1651).

It was then changed by the profile creator to Floretta Hester Rhodes, but also of the [Mohawk] Turtle Clan.

The profile was then orphaned; the Native Americans project has adopted it and returned it to its original status, although detached as spouse of Jacques Hertel (-1651), for which there is no evidence.
