Hello,
I am a descendent of Balding Mintonye. I live in Tippecanoe county in Indiana. When I was seven years old they were opening up a newly built school named Mintonye Elementary. My father John E Lehnen told me I needed to know the school was named after my grandfather. Balding Mintonye. It was his mother?s grandfather. His Mother was Mary Florence Straubinger Lehnen. Balding Mintonye he said was a full blood Wea Native American that was orphaned and then later adopted by the Mintonye family. We were told he was orphaned as an infant and so we were never taught any of the Native American culture. He ended up owing 300 acres in Tippecanoe county. So we have never found any documents to confirm this adoption. But no Indian could legally own land in the state of Indiana until 1947. Years after he passed. So if he had told this his land would have been take. By the government. My grandmother Mary Florence told my father of his Native heritage and to never forget this. As I was also told to always remember he was a full blood indian. We could always see this in my dads looks and my grandmother too they say. I am wondering if you ever have heard this before? Also we have a book where Mintonye was listed in as one of the founders of Tippecanoe county. I am also wondering if you have ever come across any photos of Balding Mintonye?
Sincerely,
