    His wife's name was Molly (last name Valle or Ensworth). Her name could be short for Margaret, etc. Molly died in KS in1862. Molly had an Uncle named Frank (Francois) Valle; he gave her 160 acres of KS land.

    Chief Frank Beaver (Len-e-pin-shah) b: 1857 married Mary J. Ensworth (Law-we-ne-she); they had one girl...Esta Beaver 1880-1975
