Jim Taggart notes - Very little is know concerning the birth of my
great-grandmother, Elizabeth A Currell Trekell, and I have found nothing that
particularly substantiates the idea that one or both her parents were American
Indians.

Family records have her date and place of birth as May 1844, at the Shawnee
Methodist Indian Mission and Manual Labor School in the Kansas Territory.
Kansas did not become a state until 1861 and official birth records were not
made in 1844. I have never been able to find out whether the Methodists at the
Mission made any reocrds of births and I have seen none in the Indian Bureau
reocrds I have reviewed.

It seems probable to me that her natural father was Edward Currell who was the
teacher of shoe and bootmaking at the School beginning in the Spring on 1841,
but it is still possible that Elizabeth was one of the many young Indian or
part-Indian children who lived at the Mission. Many of these children were
orphans.

All of the Indian children at the Mission were required to assume an
English-language name, and many chose or were given the name of a known person.
In the student rosters made by the Mission officials during the 1840's. I have
found two Indian students with the surname Currell.

Rev Thomas Johnson, who was operating the Mission and School oncve wrote that
he had many times watched young Indian girls, many only seventeen years of age,
come down the stairs (in one of the Mission buildings) to marriage with a white
settler and commented that besides many of these young women being eligible for
200 acres of land from their tribe's treaty lands, they made good wives. (This
seems to be an implication that the housewifery training and education given by
the Mission and School was an enhancement to marriage to a white man!) I
imagine that young orphaned Indian children might also have been attractive to
a white couple anxious to have a family, and perhaps that is what happened to
Elizabeth and perhaps to her older brother, Charles J Currell. I don't think
that any Indian land would have been in the Indian Territory and I have found
no record that Edward Currell ever lived anywhere in the Kansas Territory
except at the Mission. Also, it seems doubtful that adoption would have
entailed any land transfer.
