My great-grandparents were Persis Ellen Bigelow  and Elisha Newton. They came from the United States up
river to Glen Almond, Quebec. I was told Elisha was pure Indian and a Commanche chief. I would appreciate any information
on them. My grandmother was Esther Ann Newton and my mother was Caroline Victoria Bigelow.
