According to "Wayndot and Shawnee Lands" dated 10/3/1870 in Kansas: Jacob
Stookey was given Allotment # 226 from the Wyandot Treaty of 1855. So
this Jacob Stookey evidently left some descendants among the Wyandots.
There is also a Jacob Stookey among the Wyandots listed in Ohio state
records at www.rootsweb.com that lists a family two adults (over age 25)
and 4 children (under age 25) in the Muster Roll of Wyandot Indians Who

"The Return of Jacob Stookey Hardy County Superior Court Record
1797-1800" submitted by David Armstrong reports with an Editor's note: "
Few documents of eighteenth century Virginia are packed with the kind of
human drama or genealogical value as the case of Shobe vs Hyer in the
Hardy County Superior Court record.  Jacob Stookey was a youth who was
captured by the Indians during the French and Indian Wars in Maryland in
the 1750's.  He lived among the Shawnn Indians (as an Indian) for the
subsequent half century.  Meanwhile, his family migrated from Maryland
into what is now Hardy County, West Virginia.  Jacob Stookey was never
heard of again until the early 1800's when he, as a sick old man,
wandered back into the east and demanded his share of his father's land
grant...Evidence of Velantine Power who proved that about the year 1757
having been previously taken by the Indians from the South Branch of
Potocomauk he saw a white man a prisoner among the Indians at Detroit
called Jacob Stooky, that he conversed with said Jacob Stookey who
informed him that he was taken by the Indians at Connoch colgheauge in
Maryland, that he was called among the Indians by the Indian name of
Nonegehaw & Jacob Stooky told the Witness that his fathers name was
Stooky & wore a long beard, that the Witness was a  prisoner among the
Indians between four & five years & most of that time knew & frequently
seen said Jacob Stooky, that a part of the time the said Jacob Stooky
lived on opposite Sides of the river, that soon after the Witness
returned from the Indians to the South Branch he met with Jacob Stooky
the father and enquired if the Witness had seen a prisoner among the
Indians the name of Jacob Stooky, the Witness replied he had and
described him his age & other circumstances upon which the said Jacob
Stooky the Elder replied that is my son. the Witness in the month of
February 1802 saw Jacob Stooky the Devisor & from all circumstances vizly
the foregoing & his conversation with him at this time believes him to be
the same man whom he saw by that name among the Indians that he resembled
the Stooky family that Jacob Stooky Senr did wear a long beard."
