Sheridan, too, was at the Dalles, where the Wasco tribe resided, when he was fighting the Yakima and Cayuse tribes in 1856. He had a very traumatic time dodging and dealing out death. It is possible he met Francis of the Olney's great grandmother Francis, after she had Sheridan's daughter, went on to marry a non-Indian named John Dye and made her home at the mouth of the Little Salmon River. In 1877, her daughter, Emma, married Franklin Pierce Olney, the son of Nathan Olney (first settler of The Dalles, Oregon) and Annette Holliquilla (a Wasco Indian and daughter of Chief Chalalee ). Franklin and Emma, who met at Fort Vancouver, thus both had white fathers and native mothers. They had had seven children. Daniel's father, Benjamin Butler Olney, called Francis "Grandma Betsy" and said that she had relatives at Wisham, Washington, namely Chief Solomon.
For further proof of this person's existence refer to the newspaper articles attached to her mother's memorial and the memorial of John Dye.
The many manifestations of Frances finally does bear corporeal fruit in the 1880 census documents of Fort Simco, Yakima, Washington. This time Francis (with an "i") is supposedly a Yakima woman. It records a daughter, Emma Sheridan, a living breathing person, born in Fort Vancouver, WA 1857, to Philip H Sheridan with the mother listed as Francis (with an i) (the Indian name Walopquat) also known as Sidnayah, of the Yakima nation. Although Emma died in 1886 and is buried at White Swan, Yakima, WA, the name Walopquat, it seems, is close to the language of the Wasco tribe of the Warm Springs Nation. In 1877, Emma married Franklin Pierce Olney, son of Nathan Olney. Frankin and Emma had 7 children.
Birth: 1857 in Fort Vancouver, Clark, Washington, USA
Burial: Catholic Cemetery, White Swan, Yakima, Washington, USA
However, in my opinion, the above birth and death location may not be correct as no historical document have been located and the only mention is in a document that also says that Emma was found in 1880 living with her mother, and that is factually incorrect. A 1904 newspaper article indicated that Emma had died in Astoria, however. this also cannot be verified. A child named Anna Belle has been found born 1886, providing evidence that Emma died in childbirth or shortly after. Anna Belle was in the 1877 and 1888 Indian census, but not found after.
