In Sarah (Sally) Settee's Obit it says 12 children. This would not include the two children that she raised but was not mother too in the GENi list I previously sent.

1. Jane Ellen Durie


The list of 14 children is correct and included the two mentioned above.

(For your Info) My Aunt Martha Settee Bennett (GGranddaughter to Rev. Settee) stated in her memoirs included in " From Paddles to Propellers" A History of Matheson Island that Rev. Settee baptized many (native) children in Manitoba and gave them Settee names but they were not biologically related to our family.

To clarify, I was not harassing Eileen as she claims, I was researching and came across this site about my descendants history, and was just curious where she found the information on Elizabeth Settee Gouldhawke, this I believe was confused with her lineage under Reverend James Nelson Settee family history. My name is Sherry Marchant and thanks for this site, it takes a great deal of time, dedication and research, what great discoveries and interesting information on our families historic backgrounds. I have my descendants family tree of Halford Gouldhawke and Elizabeth Settee Gouldhawke, their children, Reverend James Settee and Sarah (Sally) Settee's grand children are as follows:

1. Frances Harriet Sarah Gouldhawke, named after her Grand Mother Sarah (Sally) Settee, b. July 23, 1871, Broken Head River, Manitoba,
d. July 30, 1951, Tacoma. Washington.
2. James Roland Cross Settee Gouldhawke, named after his Grand Father, Rev. James Nelson Settee, b. September 3, 1873, Cross Lake, Sask., d. 1881 at the young age of 8 years.
3. Halford Nathan Gouldhawke, b. November 12, 1876, Grand Rapids, Sask., d. June 9, 1903, Atakoop Indian Reserve, Sandy Lake, Sask.
