The November 1905 census records Ed Greengrass as being 35 years old, which implies that he was born in 1870.
The 1905 census gives Ed's HoChunk (Winnebago) name as Che Win Che Ka Ra Hay Kah, which is for the Thunderbird Clan name Ciwįjikerehiga, "He Who Makes a Rumbling Noise," a reference to distant thunder.
“The sons of Wanknaroskaka or James Blackhawk were Nojumbka, meaning The thunder who strikes the tree or John Blackhawk and Wakjagohoyka, (Returning with victory), Albert Blackhawk, died July 1912, at age 20.
