My grandmother told me that her grandmother Mary L DeBruler's maiden name was Lealliwall. Mary L claimed that she was Native American. I've found several news articles on Ancestry that say she was a Sturgis. Her death notice said that she had two living brothers, Harry and Albert Sturgis. She also had two living half-brothers at the time, James and Robert Stamm. I don't know why she told my grandmother she was Native American and her maiden name was Lealliwall and now I'm thourougly confused! Anyway here is all that know about her.

Born - 1869 in OH
Died - 1949 in Mount Auborn, IN

She married 3 men that I know of.

Phillips
Henry/Harry Bunce - 16 Oct 1900 in Wayne county, IN
Thomas Estelle DeBruler - 24 July 1906 in Wayne county, IN


Children

Goldie Kirk/Cook - I don't know if her father was Phillips or Bunce
Sylvia Mae Phillips Little - b. 27 August 1893 in Indiana and died in 1956


Her middle name was Lee. Maybe that's where Lealliwal came from. Also went by Allie. Anyone ever heard of her?

Thank you!
