THOMAS (TELEMUT OR TELENEMUT) Hutson Hudson (Seneca)

• General Notes
  •  Catltari}ie Montour, daughter of "French Margaret," became the wife of Thomas Hutson, or
    Hudson, called by the Indians "Telenemut." He was a Seneca, and his brother John was head-chief of
    Caneadea. a Seneca village on the Genesee River, in what is now Alleganj^ County, New York. Thomas
    Hudson died early— certainly prior to 1760. (He may have been the son-in-law of "French Margaret"
    whose death occurred in 17.52, as previously noted.) He left to survive him his wife Catharine and three
    children, viz.: (1) Roland, (2) John and (3) Belle. Some years later — say about 1760 or '(il— the widow
    Catharine was married to an Englishman who was then, or had been, an Indian trader, with headquarters
    at Niagara, and had been married to a Seneca squaw, who, having born him several children, died. (See
    "Transactions of the Buffalo Historical Society," 1884, Vol. III.) One of these children was named
    Kaoundowana ("Big Tree"), who, when he had grown up, was noted asa Seneca warrior under the name
    of "Captain Pollard." (See Chapters XV and XXV for further references to him.)
