Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 18 Jun 1880, Butler Township, Miami, Indiana, United States

Notes:

According to find a grave on Mary Mongosa's memorial page Dr. Nathaniel Bradley moved to Miami County, Indiana near the city of Peru in the 1870's and took on a second wife , a Miami Indian woman by the name of Mary MON-GO-SAH, even though he was still married to his first wife from Ireland. The reason he did this was to gain land from the Miami Indians by marrying into the tribe. This was a common practice during the 1800's for white settlers.
The children he had with his Miami Indian second wife all resembled their mother more than their father and was accepted by their mother's tribe as Miami more than they were accepted by the white population. Therefore, they all kept their mother's maiden name of MON-GO-SAH...which later became Mongosa.

Weather they married legally according to the state or just a personal private ceremony is unknown at this time as I am unable to find the marriage record.
