"A Man Called SAMPSON" by Will and Rudi Ottery

Almira Jeanette SAMPSON KINDNESS, b. September 10, 1835, at Brothertown,

New York, d. April 26, 1917 at Brothertown, Wisconsin. On April 23, 1857 at

Calumet County, ALMIRA married Thomas LAYTON KINDNESS, b. August 14, 1833 at

Brothertown, New York, d. September 7, 1910 at Colorado. On November 21, 1871 at Calumet county, she married Orlando Deloise DICK, b. 1840, died,

August 1, 1881, at Oshkosh in Winnebago County, Wisconsin.

Thomas LAYTON KINDNESS, called Laton or LAYTON, was the son of James and

Hannah KINDNESS of the Brothertown tribe. He was late in migrating to

Wisconsin and when he arrived there, he found that he preferred New York.

Almira apparently elected to remain with her family in Wisconsin when he

returned to New York and both later married others. Almira devoted herself to

raising their son for many years, but eventually married Orland Deloise DICK.

He was the son of Nathan DICK and Eunice Johnson DICK of the Brothertown

tribe. He died at the age of forty-two of kidney disease, after being ill for

an extended period. Death came to Orlando while being treated at Oshkosh.

The Chilton Times recorded the fact that his remains arrived at Brothertown on

August 9, 1881 from Oshkosh, where he had died on August 1, 1881. During the

Civil War, Orlando served in Co. A of the 21st Wisconsin Cavalry, and later in

Co. K of the 17th Wisconsin Volunteers. He received a medical discharge

November 21, 1870. In her later years, ALMIRA was usually called "Grandma

Dick". Her lot assignment on the Brothertown reservation was the west 1/2 of

Lot 205.

After Almira's first husband, LAYTON KINDNESS, left Wisconsin to return

to New York, he lived near his kinsman Lewis KINDNESS at Chautauqa County in

western New York. Layton lived there under the name Dr. Kanistanaux for

twenty-five years. He was in contact with his son, and letters written to

Purcell by LAYTON from Stockton, New York are in the possession of his

descendents. We visited Chautauqua County and the area where LAYTON lived,

making the acquaintance of author Russell Woodard, whose family had been

Chautauqua County neighbors of LAYTON. He pointed out the site of Layton's

New York home and supplied photos taken of it while it was burning down.

While in Chautauqua County, we successfully negotiated for an old commode

which was from Layton's household furnishings. We tried for years to find

Layton's death date in New York. We recently learned that the reason we could

not locate it in New York was because LAYTON had migrated to Colorado during

his final years. Whether his second wife and child migrated with him is

unknown.

Thursday, April 26th, 1917, at 11 p.m. of pneumonia, aged 81 years, 7 months

and 16 days.

Almira J. Sampson was the oldest daughter of the late CLARK D. and

Lovina SAMPSON and was born in Brothertown, Onieda Co., New York, Sept. 10,

1835, soon after moving with her parents to Brothertown, Wis, where she grew

to womanhood. On Nov. 21st 1871 she was united in wedlock to Orlando D. Dick,

who preceded her in death in August 1881. Almira was a woman who made a host

of friends by her pleasing ways and womanly character. She was a good

neighbor and was always ready to assist those who were in need. She became a

member of the Union Lodge No.359 I.O.G.T. in Feb. 1866 and always remained a

willing worker and active member up to the time of her death. In her death

she leaves one son, Purcil, and one half sister, Emily Fowler, here, and one

half sister, Roselth Foshay and one half brother, Albert SAMPSON of Fond du

Lac. She also leaves six grandchildren and three great grandchildren, a large

number of near relatives and a host of friends to mourn her death. She was

Notes for MARLEAH MOULTON:

We know Marleah was born in Ontario Canada, waiting data, we also believe she is the mother of Elizabeth Neff, born May 22 1862 in Welland, Port Colborne Ont. Canada. Father is William Henry Neff or his brother Menno Neff. both died young.

There is also a tie with the Gordon family as yet unfound but We have a Harry Gordon,Now, age 65 in Chautauqua Co whose G grandparents were Kanistanaux, from Stockton. His Grandparents, Annabelle Pratt and James Gordon were in Stockton in 1880's and were the parents of twins, a boy and girl, We think the Gordon is also a KANISTANAUX, Or the Son of, or BROTHER of Morleah ??

Marleah was older than LAYTON, and there is a story of an Indian woman in the Kanistanaux family who had a child by a white man and was put out of the tribe in Canada, we believe this to be Marleah and we have no last name for her other than married name Kanistanaux. No marriage records can be found.

We have poetry written by Marleah, who was a Doctor of Herbs and healing and taught the local doctors the use of herbs in healing, In Stockton.

Marleah and Loton[Laton] were still in Stockton in 1900 census, no 1890 federal census is available.

THIS IS A PEOM WRITTEN BY MORLEAH KANISTANAUX WHICH EXPLAINS THE CORRECT PRONUNCIATION OF THE NAME AND WHO SHE WAS;

THIS WAS TAKEN FROM A BROCHURE SHE HAD TO SELL HERBS WHICH SHE DID QUITE WELL, I HAVE A LOT ON THIS PART. DOCUMENTED IN THE "HISTORY OF Stockton NY thru the rear view mirror"

She taught the local doctors the use of herbs in healing.
