[or-roots] Hanna question

[JudyRobertson39 at aol.com]

Ira Monroe Hanna came west by wagon train-year unknown.  He lived for  a time 
in southwestern Oregon-Oakland area.  Is said to have fought in the  Rogue 
Indian War. Eventually he settled in New Chicago Montana (south of  
Drummond-north of Phillipsburg)  His wife was Sarah Alice Karnes (Carnes)  born 15 Dec 
1854 in Lafitte Indiana.  Family tradition has it that she was  found with an 
Indian tribe when she was 8-10 years of age and adopted by Joseph  Karnes and his 
wife Lidia (Lydia) This is my daughter's in-law family.   They are interested 
in knowing if the family tradition has any truth to it.(how  did they know 
her date of birth and place of birth if she was found with an  Indian tribe(they 
do not know which tribe or locality)  I have read a  variety of tales of 
children stolen and adopted by various Indian bands but do  not remember the 
details of any of them.  Can someone shed light?   Thanks, Judy Robertson
