There are two major locations for this name, which I believe means "council fire" in Algonquin languages, and one is over near Stid Hill NY, and the other is just below the spot where the Mohawk flows into the Hudson. There may be others.
Several family genealogies on the internet refer to her ~ mostly a couple of generations down the line, but one I found referred to her husband. His father was a Dutch fur-trader and his mother was an Indian (a Brotherton as they later became known).
I know the primary story ~ about three Huguenot Brothers - has moved from site to site over the years.
That ought to be enough information for you to start tracking this person down.
Oh, yeah, the first time I ran into it was in a New York State document that covered the problem with the ballast under the New York Central railroad lines along the Hudson. Seems they consisted of the remains of an Indian ossuary about 7,000 years old. The railroad company that built the line simply used Indian bones rather than gravel.
The roadbed was replaced. The bones were returned to Shodack Island (after several decades of Hudson dredgings were relocated to someplace other than the oldest known ossuary in North America).
To say the least the characters in this story get mentioned a lot, but not all at the same time.
The Jewish lady's presence on Shodack was unusual. Jews had been allowed on Manhattan both before and after the time she showed up in history. But apparantly there was a period ~ a short one ~ when she arrived where they weren't. She got dumped on Shodack, others landed elsewhere.
I keep a close watch on all the "three brothers" stories as well as Shodak because our people in the direct male line supposedly start with "three brothers" at Shodak. No doubt others want to find out about that Jewish lady ~ who we may presume came from Nederland.
Another one to look out for is Maria/Marika von Stockholm ~ a woman on her own in New York who shows up in both the Hood and the Roosevelt genealogies. All I could ever find out was that she was kind of "deported" to New York ~ rather like that English story, "Moll Flanders".
Thanks, I’ll chase it down. I’m a history buff who does a lot of genealogy research, hence my interest. I appreciate your taking the time to post in length, since my initial (and admittedly brief) Shodack search didn’t net much of anything.
