MN--335 cites information at Detroit and Ft Wayne Libraries. Ann Hoff had
information indicating death in 1839. MN-338 gives 1841.

J.B Bourie signed, Interpreted or was mentioned in the following Treaties
with the US Government: Oct 16, 1826 Potowatomi (see Bourie) Oct 23, 1826
Miami (see Boure) Sep 20, 1828 Potowatomi (see Bourre) Feb 11,
1828 Miami (see Boure) Oct 23, 1832 Miami (see
bro-in-law Lucien P Ferry) Oct 26, 1832 Potowatomi (see Bourie) Oct 27,
1832 Potowatomi (see ?) Sep 26, 1833 Chippewa (see John B. and David
Bourie, Caroline Ferry, Nancy Hedges, Harriet Ewing) Dec 10, 1834
Potowatomi (see Boure) Dec 16, 1834 Potowatomi (see ?)

Dec 5, 1854 Miami (see son? J. Boure) Nov 15, 1861 Potowatomi
(see son? J. Bourie)

MN-335 states that his mother was a Miami Indian. This is most likely John
son of John B Bourie and thus Ann Chen would be a Miami Indian? -aeh

The John Bourie below maybe the son of Jean Baptist Bourie(1810-1841)

   Hi Ann,
   
   ... I can now read the information you sent.
   Accordingly, I will now use your data and check it against my file,
   advising you of any things that do not match,or added information I might
   have.
   
   To save time I will start with the 6th. generation, Louis Bourie, assuming
   the older is correct since it is in book form at Fort Wayne.
   
   Louis B. Bourie : B added; married 13 October 1798, at St. Anne's Catholic
   Church, Detroit, Michigan. Was in Indiana as early as 1786; moved to Ft
   Wayne, Indiana, in 1801, when he received a license to trade with the
   Pottawatomie Indians at Cour de Cerf (Elks Heart in French) ,on the
   Elkhart River. Since the Elkhart flows through both Elkhart city and
   Ligonier town, the exact trading area is not known. He did have a trading
   post at Ligonier on the bank of the Elkhart River near the Rochester
   Bridge on the East side of town. ...
