The Following Chart is continued from page five and is designed to show some of the Employees of the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Nisqually as well as some of their families. Their names and other information came from Cecelia Svinth Carpenter's book, "Fort Nisqually", a documented history of Indian and British interaction. Ceceila's, Tahoma Research Service, specializes in consultant services in Indian historical research and writing. A good deal of her book on the Fort is based on my great-great-grandfather's (William Kittson) journals in the Fort's Journal of Occurrences. As also stated on the previous page we belong to a group of people who descended from some of these employees and would like to meet others with the same heritage who may have their stories to tell. Just contact me at the address below this chart.
