Alice Jarman

family

Alice [Jarman] was a niece of King George, who was chief of the S’Klallam until he either drowned or abandoned his family sometime in 1854-55.

history

S’Klallam and Chemakum Indian tribes on Olympic Peninsula when Jarman settled there in 1848-52 (skagitriverjournal.com) We spun this story off from the William “Blanket Bill” Jarman biography in order to address the considerable confusion and contradiction in various accounts about the tribes present on the Olympic Peninsula when Jarman settled there temporarily, off and on, in the period 1848-52. The contradictions were present in both the contemporary U.S. Government documents of that time, private writing later in the century and books by various historians between then and now. In our review, we will also explain the genealogy of Alice, Jarman’s wife and companion for the next three decades. She and the Indians that Jarman met in that period helped shape both his life and the legends about him.

mother

Her [Alice Jarman’s] mother was one of the sisters of the seven brothers from the House of Ste-tee-thlum, the legendary 18th-century S’Klallam chief.

random

Putin was born on 7 October 1952 in Leningrad, Soviet Union (now Saint Petersburg, Russia), the youngest of three children of Vladimir Spiridonovich Putin (1911–1999) and Maria Ivanovna Putina (née Shelomova; 1911–1998).

sewing clothes

According to the another Teck interview with Whatcom native William Utter, Alice (Bill’s longtime Indian wife) sewed Bill’s clothes from Hudson’s Bay blankets, and sometimes he reverted to Indian fashion and wrapped himself only in blankets. That affectation from his early days with Indian tribes may have been the basis for his name [William ‘Blanket Bill’ Jarman] and the kidnapping tale may have been spun from it.
