Magwawidobait is my husband's 6th generation great grand uncle.
He was Chief of the Abenaki Odanak Village in the mid to late 18th century. Being a good negotiator between the British and other Indian Tribes who aligned with the British, he avoided much trouble regarding raids the British initiated.
He is said to be buried in the Church at Odanak, PQue, Canada.
Elder Joseph Louis (Magwawidobait-K'toleque) "His Majesty Chief Joseph Orono" Gill-St Castin-Madockawando Gill∼In order to be able to serve with the United States, he had to create an Alternate Persona. This was accomplished through Penobscot. He became Joseph Orono, a mysterious figure out of nowhere, already old and disappeared just as mysteriously... After his daughters death in 1801, his death was announced in Old Town, where great Ceremony was held to Honor him. Afterward, many stories arose about this mysterious figure. Many people claimed to know when and where he died, making up outlandish claims to make themselves seem important... His father was among the many Rescues of his time, and was Adopted into the House of St Castin and Madockawando. His first wife "Theresa Marie" or "Marie Theresa" was a daughter of St Castin, who died at her father's side during an Attack from the Colonies. He later remarried another Rescue named Rosalie James and had many other children. Joseph Louis is his only "Known" child from his first wife.
