Sorry I haven't been back for awhile...I lost my wonderful daughter to cancer on June 25th and just took a rest from the internet. I have tried every source that I can think of that might have info about Gabriel Renville's three wives who were sisters...some have said that they were the daughters of Scarlet Plume but I have not seen anything that would prove that. I will continue to look and will post anything conclusive that I find.

All of you are just great to share! That picture, kingsley, is the picture that is on his memorial on Find A Grave. It's a wonderful picture, as are all that I've seen posted here and elsewhere. I just wish I had definitive info regarding Gabriel Renville's wives being his daughters!

Also, Vicky....I noted that in the Buffalo Lake Cemetery there are a number of Brant names and you told me that one of Wamdiupiduta's daughter was a Brant. I just wish I could find something that PROVES the three wives of Gabriel Renville were for sure his daughters. Guess if I dig long and hard and creative enough I just might find something!!!

Thank you so much, Vicky! I apologize for not emailing you last night but we were with my daughter until quite late...she has stage 4 cancer and putting up a valiant fight. Just to let all of you know, I live in Orem, Utah....30 minutes from Salt Lake City. So, you guys know what I have access to (The Family History Library) as well as 15 minutes from the 3rd largest college library at BYU. If anyone needs any look-ups of items determined to be at either of these libraries, just let me know via email at: natwick@comcast.net

I must be doing something wrong with photobucket because I can never get into it. Thank you so much, Vicky...I appreciate any information. I will look for all the references you gave me. So, are you of the opinion that Mary, Anna and Sophia who were Gabriel Renville's wives were daughters of Scarlet Plume? I will email you later this evening when I am home....and, in fact, I don't mind putting my email address here: natwick@comcast.net Do you recall ever seeing Israel as his given name as it is on his tombstone? Also, spelling of Wamdiupiduta on tombstone does not have the u after the first i. Probably an error.

hello natasha, I am not as conversant with Wahpeton and Sisseton genealogies as I am with Lakota. Gabriel Renville (1825-1892) was the son of Victor Renville and Winona Crawford, mixed blood Dakotas. Victor died in 1833, and Gabriel was then raised by his stepfather Joseph Akipa Renville, a full blood. Gabriel married three sisters in 1847, 1858, and 1860. He worked for the fur trader and Indian agent Joseph R. Brown, who was his brother-in-law. I'm not sure how that relationship worked exactly, but that is why the family name Brown recurs with Gabriel and his wives. I have seen a reference to Scarlet Plume being the father-in-law of Gabriel Renville -- see Mark Diedrich (with Louis Garcia), Little Fish: Head Chief of the Dakota on the Fort Totten Reservation (Coyote Books, 2009), p. 28. Note that Louis posts on these boards. I presume the three sisters Gabriel married including Sophia were indeed daughters of Scarlet Plume. Scarlet Plume was a chief in the Upper Sisseton. Before the war of 1862 Scarlet Plume's village was on the southern shore of Big Stone Lake. Thank you so much for your response. I do have all the information about Gabriel and have the Renville line back to France. I kind of thought that the Brown surname might have something to do with the Brown I was seeing with Ann, Mary, and Sophia but wasn't sure how. Some of Winona Crawford's children also used the surname of Crawford throughout their lifetime since she chose to carry the Crawford name forward also. My husband grew up on the Sisseton-Wahpeton reservation in South Dakota. His mother was a member of the Spirit Lake tribe and she grew up and lived there until she passed away there. I have looked for any kind of Indian census at Lake Traverse that might have Scarlet Plume listed with his family but have not found anything. If anyone knows of any other type record that this information might be in I would really appreciate knowing about it. I did find through findagrave.com Scarlet Plume's information about where he is buried with a picture of the tombstone. The tombstone has the name: Israel (Scarlet Plume) Wamdipiduta, born 1804 and died Feb. 4, 1893; buried in the Buffalo Lake Cemetery, Eden, Marshall County, South Dakota. The plot is in the west cemetery and the Find A Grave Memorial # is 6198776. The information given on that page says that his life is further detailed in Curtis Dahlin's book "Stories and Final Resting Places", p. 17. Anyone have that book that might be able to send me the info on page 17?

My first post here...hope I am doing this correctly and in the right category. My husband descends directly from Gabriel Renville and wife Sophia Hu Tecawin. I have been given conflicting information about Gabriel's three wives and was wondering if anybody knew for sure here. Were they the daughters of Scarlet Plume (Scarlet Eagle Plume)? Also...why the heck is there so very little information about Scarlet Plume? Hey guys....was sure hoping to have a response from someone regarding my post above.. I have read a few statements such as "Gabriel was a son-in-law to Scarlet Plume". Those of us who have been involved with genealogy through Gabriel know that he married three sisters, a Mary, Anna, and Sophia, Were they daughters of Scarlet Plume? Also, whenever I see these ladies listed there is usually the surname of "BROWN" listed with them. Why would that be? I have searched the net until my eyes are getting blurry and can find almost nothing about Scarlet Plume and his family. Can anyone help? (Honest...I'm not being a lazy butt...I have looked and looked everywhere imaginable!!!)
