The wrote it specifically to preserve the history and information of Tecumseh, Shawnee life and culture, pioneer information, and stories not to forget.

Sorry for the uneven sound level; I'm new at this.
Yes, we are. I just traced the connection last month. Frederich Ice (the first Ice in America, from Holland Ten Eyke) married Mary Galloway; they were Tecumseh's grandparents. Mary Galloway was the daughter of John Robert Galloway who immigrated from Scotland with 6 other brothers. One of those brothers later had a son named James Galloway who would be the pioneer in Greene County and Xenia. All those first names run in that family, just as "Mary" is a recurring family girl's name.
