Hi. My name is Jesica Darr (York) I believe E. Lahoma Girty may be my great grandmother. It is a long story and I unfortunately don't have alot of information to work with except a few names and a few pieces of knowledge. My grandfather Bill was born on a Cherokee Reservation in Tahlequah, OK. I'm from Arkansas. His mother's name was Lahoma Girty. From what I know she was half white half Cherokee. Her father was Cherokee and mother was White. I wonder if you could help me identify if I may actually be related or not ???

Prideaux - Son Thomas - GSon Peter

HowardHicksTree — 2008-08-16 07:28:59Z

I'm looking to confirm the lineage between these guys in the Girty line (of Simon Girty fame).

I can't find records in Ontario of Prideax (son of Simon Girty & Catherine Malotte) being born, although I believe there are 'accounts'. Then there was a Thomas who was a son of Prideaux's (spouse/mother unknown).

Ideally, I'm looking for corroboration of the son Thomas' relationship to Prideaux (and so Simon). Furthermore, to connect Thomas as the father to Peter-b.1854 (later married to Annie Cook) from Ontario Canada.

All men apparently resided in Ontario Canada, but I am having touble finding documentation here, so I thought maybe there was something in the states... I can live in hope! ;-)

Anyway, if these connections can be confirmed, then I will have established my relationship to Simon Girty as his great(x5)grand-daughter.

No I am not related but I did my sister-in-laws research to get her into the DAR for Thomas Girty. And this is the state where theystarted. My husband and I went to Harrisburg and I even did research on him there.

hi, debi,
I am mainly interested in finding out how I am related to Simon Girty. It is hard to find literature about him in my library's genealogy room in Ohio. So, are you related to him in any particular way, aside from you sister-in-law?

Sincerely,
Andrea

hi
You can pick up most history books and find info on Simon.
Anything in particular you want to know?
Where are you from?
I am from Pennsylvania - where the
Girty's landed when they came to the new world. My sister-in-law is a GIRTY.

Looking for any family history my fathers grandmother was Nettie Girty granddaughter of Snake Girty.We know some things and are hoping to find out much more. Any help from family will be gladly accepted. What we are hoping for most is info on Charley, Netties son. His father was Frank Conley. All we know is that he was a Blacksmith in Vian in about 1939 or 1940. We were wondering if he was related to Netties brother Oscars wife Lucy Conley? Any help? Thank you.

Simon Girty- legend of Revolutionary War

ATomer — 2005-03-24 19:36:33Z

Looking for any info on Simon Girty, ally of the Native Americans and British during the Revolutionary War. He is somehow my distant cousin and I'm guessing he is somehow related to some Andersons, Carmans, Hendersons, Laffertys/Lafetras, Douglases, Jacos, Kigers, Boards, ect. If you know anything, please let me know.

A. Tomer

James Girty's wife a Shawnee Native /Ire/Pen/Can

Abstracted from: "The Richmond Dispatch Newspaper" article dated March 2nd 1878-. The Girtys were of Irish descent. Their father came to Pennsylvania about 1740. Girty had four sons Thomas, Simon, George and James. All were taken prisoners by the Indians. Thomas was rescued in 1756. George was adopted by the Delaware. He remained with them until he died in 1813. James was adopted by the Shawnee and remained with them. Simon was adopted by the Seneca but later returned to his mother. He was a scout for Lord Dunsmore. In "The Magazine of Western History" Jan 1886, about James Girty. James Girty lived in Canada West (Ontario). In the "Book of Grants" from the crown to James Girty in Gosfield Township, Essex County, Ontario, Lot No. 8, 200 acres dated May 17th 1802, Lot No. 23 and 24, 400 acres dated July 7th 1807. James died the 15th of April 1817. His will named son James and daughters Ann and Nancy. His infamous brother Simon lived in the same county. In the "Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph" Nov 18th 1884 article- James Girty married a Shawnee woman and moved to Canada and settled on and island (not far from Detroit) not far from his brother Simon.

GIRTY of Dublin/Charleston

2001-11-28 11:28:33Z

Seek information about William GIRTY of Dublin, Ireland who married Rachel THOMPSON in Charleston, SC in 1817. He died the same year. A George GIRTY, probably a brother, also died the same year in Charleston.

Mr. Sellars,

Russell Girty here. My interest in my family tree has been sparked of late so I started browsing the internet for info and come across this correspondence. I had read info on Simon Girty and was kinda hoping to not have come from that line as I had always been told growing up that I had true Indian heritage. I grew up in Spiro, Ok and frequently visited relatives in Webbers Falls and yearly went to the Girty cemetary there for Memorial Day. Have you any further info since this email? Any would be greatly appreciated.

Have an Aunt Truelove who was a Girty. Her mom's name was Susan. Don't see a Henry in the records, but the Trulove attracted my attention. It might only be a coincidence. Never knew how Aunt Trulove got her name. Any information you can offer would be interesting. Thanks

Dear Mr. Nichols,

I'm the one who has the table. The table was made by a Girty in Charleston, SC, in 1853. I have since found out that the Girty family was well known in Charleston at the time and all of their tables were custom built. My suggestion is that you find a good antique dealer in Charleston. He may be able to provide some information for you.

Good luck!
