WILLIAMSBURG, August 8. By an Express this Morning from Augusta County, we have the melancholy Account of the Murder of Col. James Patton, who was killed by a Party of Indians, the last Day of July, on the Head Branches of Roanoke, and eight more Men, Women, and Children. Col. Patton was going out with Ammunition, &c. for the Use of the Frontier Inhabitants, and stopping at a Plantation on the Road to refresh himself, the Convoy being about five Miles before, he was beset by 16 Indians, who killed, and stripped him, and then made off with his Horse, &c. We are likewise well assured, that the Indians have killed 7 or 8 People in the County of Halifax, near Smith Mountains, and that at least 70 or 80 Families have left their Habitations in that County, and fled for it, some to North Carolina, and some further down into the County, and the County of Lunenburg.

BOSTON, Sept. 29. By a Vessel from North-Carolina, we have Advice from good Hands, that the Cherokee Tribe of Indians, encouraged by a Bounty of Three Pounds Sterling, and Seven Pounds for every Scalp of the Enemy, granted by the Province of South-Carolina, had, to the Number of 1600, engaged to march against the French, and the Indians in their Interest, on the Ohio; and that as a further Encouragement towards the Expedition, the Government of North-Carolina, had made a present to them of 300 Steers. (A late Writer says, “The Cherokees are computed to be three Times the Number of the Six Nations put together. They are a free and independent People, were never conquered, never relinquished their Possessions, never sold them, never surrendered or ceded them.”)

1750s and 1757 SC and NC Border - Rotten Grain and Strong Sprits -
Native leaders were not blind to such problems, and by the 1750s many were speaking out against the alcohol trade. One of the most eloquent was a Catawba chief known as King Haglar, who lived near the border of North Carolina and South Carolina. In 1757 he chastised traders who would " rot your grain in tubs, out of which you take and make strong spirits", and vainly urged colonial officials to stem the flow of Caribbean rum and English whiskey into people's villages. more You sell it to our young men, and give it to them, many times... it rots their guts and causes our men to get very sick, and many of our people have lately died by the effects, and I heartily wish you would do something to prevent your people from daring to sell or give them any of that strong drink. - King Haglar, Catawba -

Charles-Town, in South-Carolina, June 16. July 4. Letters from North-Carolina inform us, that the Back Inhabitants of that Province being kept in continual Alarms by the Cherokees, a strong Detachment of their Provincial Forces, under the Command of Major Waddell, was marched towards the Western Frontiers, for the Protection of the Inhabitants. At the same time no Mention is made of any Outrages committed by those Indians since their Murdering some of the Settlers in Rowan County.

July 26, 1759 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
Charles-Town, in South-Carolina, July 14. Monday arrived an Express from the Settlements in the Forks of Broad-River, with an Account, that on the 22d ult. the Bodies of two Hunters, named Beeks and Trammel, were found cruelly murdered, about a Mile distant from each other: They appeared to have been killed some Days; the People there were much terrified, and persuaded themselves that the Cherokees were the Authors of this Mischief; but the Persons murdered were not scalped, nor were any Indian Tokens found near the Bodies. - Our last Letters from Cape-Fear, dated the 6th Instant, say, “That on the 1st Col. Harris arrived there Express from the back Settlements, to acquaint Governor Dobbs, that 2 or 3 Days before he left them, a Man belonging to a scouting Party that had been sent out upon the first Mischief done by the Indians in those Parts, as he was looking for his Horse, was surrounded, killed and scalped by 3 Indians; and that 2 Lads had been missing 3 Days, supposed to have been taken and carried off by the same Indians: That the back Settlers had therefore mostly quitted their Habitations, and taken Shelter in Fort Dobbs; while others were endeavouring to discover the Enemy. And that the Catawbas insinuated these Outrages were committed by Shawanese; but it was the Opinion of Col. Harris, and the rest of the white People, the Murderers were some of the Middle-Towns Cherokees. That Governor Dobbs had thereupon ordered two Detachments up for the Protection of the Western Frontiers, one of 30 Men from Capt. Bailey’s Company from Ocacock, and one of the same Number of Men from Fort Johnston, all to be under the Command of Major Waddel, who had sent 6 Swivel Guns and Ammunition before him as far as there was Water-Carriage, and marched himself the 3d Instant; and on his Arrival with this Force on the Western-Frontiers, it was hoped the Inhabitants would return to their Settlements. - Besides the Troops already in the Pay of this Province, the General Assembly have this Week resolved, that two Companies of Rangers be forthwith raised, for the Protection of the Inhabitants in our back Settlements, against the Insults and Outrages of Indians.

Charles -Town, June 1. Advices from fort Laudoun, by an express who arrived in town on Friday, mention, that 15 of the Cherokee Indians were returned to Settico, in the Upper Cherokees, with 22 scalps of those poor people murthered in Rowan country [sic]. We hear proper measures have been taken by the administration here, for obtaining effectual satisfaction for the outrageous breach of treaty, and impudent and barbarous insult committed by those Cherokees, in murdering and scalping the Rowan settlers.

November 22, 1759 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
Charles -Town (in South Carolina) October 13. Mr. Richard Smith, the Virginia Trader, who was going to the Cherokees with 80 Horse Load of Goods, arrived here last Sunday Afternoon, with a Cherokee Indian, under an Escort of Militia: There was another Indian with him, who made his Escape, on seeing the Province in Arms. Mr. Smith fortunately had Directions to proceed no farther than to Salisbury, in North-Carolina, till he should receive further Instructions from Governor Lyttleton, and accordingly left his Goods there; but finding all Parts alarmed, instead of waiting for the Instructions he expected, proceeded hither immediately. - October 20. By an Express which arrived here Yesterday Morning from North Carolinana, we have Advice, that Governor Dobbs has sent Orders for making Draughts from all the Northern Regiments of Militia in his Province, to act against the Cherokees, if necessary; and that he was sending Ammunition to those Regiments, and taking every other Measure proper in the present Juncture.

1759 Catawba Indians -
In 1759 it appeared again, and this time destroyed nearly half the tribe. At a conference at Albany, attended by delegates from the Six Nations and the Catawba, under the auspices of the colonial governments, a treaty of peace was made between these two tribes. This peace was probably final as regards the Iroquois, but the western tribes continued their warfare against the Catawba, who were now so reduced that they could make little effectual resistance.

Charles-Town (in South Carolina,) Nov. 24. OUR last Account from the Army was brought down to November 13th. They marched that Day to Twelve-Mile Creek in the following Order, viz. 1. The Advance-Guard with a Subaltern from the Regulars; 2. the Troop; 3. the Volunteers; 4. the Artillery Company, guarding the Field-Pieces and Powder-Waggons; 5. the Governor, with his Staff-Officers and Houshold; 6. the Regulars; 7. Col. Richardson’s Battalion (40 of which, and of Powell’s and Richardson’s also, were picked out to act as Light Horse;) 8. Col. Powell’s Battalion; 9. the Indians under a Captain’s Guard; 10. the Rear-Guard; 11. the Waggons and Carts, about 100 or more, a Number of Horses packed with Flour, Servants, &c. under a strong Guard of Militia; the Line of March was two Miles long. — Nov. 14th. Marched in the same Order as before to Mile Creek, and encamped near Dennis Hayes’s: Several Waggons broke down, and Horses tired, could not reach the Encampment that Evening: The broken Waggons were ordered to be lighted and repaired. Nov. 15th. Marched to Hallow Creek, and encamped at 1 P.M. to give Time for the Waggons that had been disabled to come up, who all (but 4) got up that Evening: Capt. Dugeon, the Engineer, went forward with the Pioneers, to repair the Road. Nov. 16th. Decamped very early, and marched to Little Saludee. Here an Express met the Governor, with Accounts, that the four Cherokees, who deserted the Army at the Congarees, had got into the Nation the Day before Mr. Elliot and the Raven (Otacitte’s Runner;) that upon their Arrival, a general Alarm had run through all their Towns; and Runners were dispatched over the Hills; and also to the Creeks, with a painted Tomahawk, to desire their immediate Assistance; that the young Men were determined to die rather than deliver up a Murderer; and that the prevailing Sentiment of their Councils seemed to be, to meet our Army, with their collected Force, at Twelve-Mile River, which is exactly 12 Miles on this Side Keowee. Some of our Accounts say, that there were 5 Creek Indians in the Nation when Elliot and the Raven arrived, who immediatly pushed off as Runners; and seem to suspect, that the Raven, instead of delivering the good Talk sent by Otacitte, had given a very bad one of his own. This Day it was reported, that two Catawba’s, who had been sent by Col. Richardson in Quest of the Cherokee that got off coming with the Goods from Virginia, had killed him, and carried his Scalp into the Catawba Nation. This Night they were more strictly watchful over the Cherokees than ever, to prevent any more of the treacherous Villains escaping. Nov. 17th. The Army marched to Saludee old Town, where it was joined by Col. Chevellette’s Battalion, and about 40 Chickesaws, 27 of which were good Gun-men, and likely young Fellows: The Chickesaws were drawn up in a Line opposite to Chevellette’s Encampment, and received the Governor with rested Arms; His Excellency then advanced, shook Hands with and spoke to them; he told them, “That he was going to the Cherokee Nation; that he had sent for them to go with him; that he was going to get Satisfaction for Insults and Murders committed by them on his People; and desired they would keep a good Look-out, and let him know immediately if they should discover any Cherokees about but withal charged them not to kill or hurt any, till he knew whether they would give the Satisfaction he should require, or not.” His Excellency also acquainted them, “That he had some Cherokees with him, under a Guard, which they should not molest or hurt; but desired, that if any of them should offer to run away, they should endeavour to take them, and bring them back to him.” They promised to observe all the Governor said, and that they would scout and keep a good Look-out; after which, as his Excellency went forward, they saluted him with a Volley: They were all painted and dressed in their War Attire. This Morning the Governor sent off an Express to Major Waddel, to hasten his Junction with our Army: We have no Account that can be depended on, of the Number of Forces he will bring; some of our Letters say, 1000 Provincials only, others add to them 4 or 500 Militia; one Letter tells us, the Major was actually on the March, and as near to Keowee as our Army. At Night the Cherokees made an Attempt to send a String of white Wampum to the Chickesaws, but were prevented. - November 18th. The Army halted, for some of the Waggons to get up; to give Presents to the Chickesaws, and to deliver out Arms, &c. to such of the Militia as had none, who were many. That Evening one of the Artillery-men detected one of the Interpreters carrying two Strings of Wampum from the Great-Warrior of the Cherokees to the Chickesaws; the Fellow upon being detected pretended he was sent to but a Horse with it; but that Excuse appearing very lame, Captain Gadsden sent the Wampum to the Governor, that this Affair might be further inquired into. The whole Army, on the 18th did not consist of more than 1687 Men, including Waggoners, Negroes, &c. and not 1300 of these could be called fighting Men; of them, 10 or 12 (of the Back Inhabitants) had deserted every Night since the 15th. November 19th. Arms were to continue distributing to such as wanted, and on the 20th, the whole Body was to move for Ninety six. The Chickesaws had an old Cherokee Woman Prisoner; there was an young Creek Fellow among the Cherokees, and another among the Chickesaws; the latter was married among the Chickesaws, and looked upon himself as one of that Nation, however was related to the former; the Chickesaws therefore begged the Governor would release that Prisoner to them, offering the Cherokee Woman in his Room; his Excellency accordingly released the Creek Indian, upon their promising that he should not run away, and that they would be answerable for his good Behaviour. - The Accounts received in the Camp the 16th Instant from the Cherokees, puts us in Mind of a Letter we received about 18 Days ago, from one of the Middle-towns, dated the 27th of October; wherein we were told, “That the Headman of that Town had on the 25th, early in the Morning, come to the Writer, an after first insisting that he would solemnly promise not to reveal one Thing he should tell him, to any in the Nation, acquainted him: That all the Satisfaction the Indians, who were then going to Town, intended to offer, was, that every Murderer should be sent out in Quest of a French Scalp, or Prisoner, for every white Man he had killed; that they looked upon this running the Risque of their Lives as a sufficient Retaliation; and that if this Offer did not prove satisfactory, they were bent upon Mischief, and Mr. Gouedy’s Store was the first Place they had pitched upon to plunder: That there had been a general Conspiracy among the Indians, viz, the Upper and Lower Cherokees, Creeks, and Catawbas (the Chickesaws only were ignorant of it) and that the said Cherokees then in Town had carried several Wenches with them who could speak English well, in particular one Seers’s Wench, that had lived in Town a long Time, to give us a shocking Specimen of Indian Policy, to be put in Practice, in case the Governor should not then give them a Talk to their Mind. - December 1. There being some Chasm in our Intelligence from the Army, from the 18th to the 24th Instant, by some of our Letters not having yet come to Hand, we shall defer publishing our Advices from thence till our next. The Army was healthy and in high Spirits, but the Rifle-barrel Men continued to desert 10 and 12 at a Time. They arrived at Ninety-six the 21st ult. where they were building a Fort, and were to move forwards for Keowee as Yesterday. - December 8. Our Advices from the Army on March to the Cherokee Nation, from the 19th to the 28th ult. inclusive are as follows: November 19th. Upwards of 400 Provincial Arms were delivered out to the Militia and Regulars. Presents were also distributed amongst the Chickesaws, and more promised them when the Expedition should be over. All the Waggons got up. Orders issued to march forward the next Day, many of the People fell sick. November 20th. Decamped from Saludee old Town, and at Noon marched, the Morning being taken up in distributing Ammunition. At 3 P.M. halted at Half-Way Swamp. The Army then consisted of about 1400 Gunmen, above 100 Waggons, besides Carts and Pack-horses. The Chickesaws staid behind to send off their Women and Children. Sickness and Desertion encrease. November 21st. At 9 AM. marched for Ninety-Six: Arrived and encamped there at 2 P.M. after crossing 2 Creeks. All the Baggage and Provisions got up. The Chickesaws also joined the Camp. Here they found Chenallotohee, Brother to Tiftoe (one of Occunastota’s Party, under Guard:) He pretended to be hunting in these Parts, and that hearing of the Governor’s Approach, he came to see his Excellency; being told that the Governor would see and talk with him at another Time, he went out to fetch in his Party, and promised to return the next Day. November 22d. The Ground was reconnoitred for a proper Place to build a Magazine and Stockade Fort, to secure Ammunition and Provision, and a Retreat, if necessary: To save Time, Expence and Trouble, Mr. Gouedy’s Barn was fixed on for a Store house, and it was resolved to stockade it in. Chenallotohee returned to the Camp, with his Party (which some of our Letters say consisted of 17, altho’ he brought in but 41) The Governor admitted him into his Presence; asked what he came about, and what he had to say? He answered, that he was hunting, and desired to see his Brother; whereupon, after being told all that his Excellency had said to the rest of the Indians in his former Talks, and that he might either continue to hunt with his Party where he was, or go home to his Nation, and tell what he saw and heard, he was soon dismissed, with leave to see his Brother Tiftoe and the rest of Occunnastota’s Party, that they were well: When he saw them, he seemed pleased that nothing more had befallen them than their Confinement; and told Tiftoe, “That the 4 Indians who deserted from the Congarees, had carried bad Talks into the Nation, and reported that they were all made Slaves; that the Indian who went from Town with Lucas, had given a good Talk; but he had heard that the Raven had also given a bad one, which had put the whole nation in a Ferment.” Tiftoe told him, “that they had all been well and kindly used since they had been with the army; and blamed the Run-aways for being abridged of Liberty:” He told him farther, “that those of his Countrymen who were concerned in killing the English, must be delivered up to the Governor. Chenallotohee then said, “he was willing to accompany his Excellency, and act with him in getting Satisfaction; and desired to be permitted to stay in the Camp all Night,” this the Governor did not think proper (for notwithstanding his fair Speeches, it was suspected he came only to see the Strength of the Army, and to converse with his Countrymen, to discover whether it would be prudent or adviseable to oppose the Army’s Passage over 12 Mile River, as had been designed) and he was ordered to depart immediately; which he did at 4 P.M. When the Order came, Tiftoe was talking to him about delivering up the Murderers, telling who they were, and who were proper Persons to seize them. Major Boud arrived this Day, with his Voluntiers. Great Plenty in the Camp, and Blankets were sold at the Charles -Town Price; yet Desertions continued. Sickness continued, but not Mortality. November 23d. Mr. Elliot returned form the Nation; left Keowee the Day before, and Fort-Loudoun the 15th; all well in both those Garrisons: He saw the Little Carpenter, who appeared a good deal concerned at the vigourous Measures this Government was pursuing, professed much Friendship for the English, and said, if the Governor would permit him, he would meet his Excellency at Keowee: Elliot represented the Middle Towns as peaceable and well disposed, many of the Upper and some of the Lower the same, and a good deal terrified; but said, that the Towns who had been concerned in Murders, who might make up about 500 Men, remained refractory, and made Preparations for War. This Day some of Colonel Richardson’s Men joined him from the Borders of North-Carolina, and reported, that Major Waddel was to have set from Fort-Dobbs, with 200 Men, on the 20th; for which Report there does not however seem to be any Foundation. The Army now between 13 and 1400 strong. An Account was received that Chenallatohee was gone for Keowee, and said he would give a good Talk. - November 24. Captain Dugeon, the Engineer, laid out the Ground for the Stockade; the Pioneers, Volunteers, Servants, &c. opened the Ditch for planting the Puncheons. Elliot was sent off an Express, it was thought, to give Permission to the Little-Carpenter to meet the Governor at Keowee; whither the Middle-town’s People had already agreed to come, though they expressed an Aversion to be joined with those of the Upper and Lower Towns (who they say are bad) lest they should not be distinguished, but treated as one People. November 25th. Nothing remarkable happened. Continued to work on the Stockade. November 26th. Two Runners arrived in the Camp from the Nation, with an English Flag, and brought a Talk, and a large Quantity of Wampum: An Express arrived at the same Time from Keowee, intimating, that these Runners were only Spies, and came to converse with their Countrymen, under Pretense of seeing the Governor; his Excellency would not see them, but ordered that they should immediately depart, and go Home. Letters from Keowee said, that the Army having so many Headmen of the Nation in Custody, had puzzled the Indians very much, and that it was the only Thing that had prevented their doing more Mischief, and committing further Acts of open Hostility. From certain Orders issued on this Day, it was thought the Governor had received Intelligence of scouting Parties being about, to observe the Motions of the Army. November 27th. The Banquet to the Stockade was finished, and the Gate put up. Some Volunteers from Port Royal joined the Army. An Express arrived from Virginia. Meazles, Purgings, and pleuretic Complaints, rather increased than abated. November 28th. The whole Army was reviewed, except the Indian Guard and Rangers, and found considerably short of the Returns; there were 1299 effective Men. Orders were given to march early on the 29th for Keowee; during the whole march to which, every Man is to be under Arms an Hour before Day, and so continue till Sun-rise, to prevent a Surprize, that being always the Time when Indians make their Attacks. A Garrison was to be left at Fort Ninety-six, which is 90 Feet square, has Sheds on one Side of the Store-house for the Men, and will be of great Service to the Inhabitants of those Parts in all Times of Alarm. And Major Singleton was ordered to join the Army by long Marches, with 200 Men of the new Draughts. - In a Letter from Augusta, dated 24th ult. (which we were favoured with a Sight of last Saturday) it is said, “That the whole Chactaw Nation of Indians are now in the British Interest, except about 100, whom the French employed and paid as Rangers. That the Superintendent still remains at the Oakfuskees; and that the Mortar of the Oakchoys, with eighteen Warriors, is gone to join the Cherokees.”

Extract of a Letter from Whitemarsh, in North-Carolina, dated February 21, 1760. “I came from Kingston, in South Carolina, late last Night.—An Express arrived at George-Town, giving an Account of a large Body of Indians on Horseback, who were killing and destroying the Inhabitants, both white and black, and laying waste the whole Country before them.—They were got down to a Place called Four Holes, within thirty Miles of Charles-Town. — The Alarm is general throughout the Province, and they are all now under Arms.— There is another large Body of Indians on the Back of Anson and Rowan Counties, and if they push on with the same Precipitation, we have the greatest Reason to expect that they will soon be here.”

CHARLESTOWN, (in South-Carolina) March 15. It is reported that the Cherokees, who went out from the upper Towns, some Time since, against Virginia, &c., have made an Attempt upon Fort Dobbs, in North-Carolina; and been repulsed with some Loss.

CHARLESTOWN, (in South-Carolina) April 2. We hear the 700 Rangers are now compleated, and continue to scout for the Protection of the back Settlements. The Forts at Ninety-six, Saluda, &c. &c. are all safe. Several of the scouting Parties have come up with divers Parties of Indians, some of whom they have killed and scalped. The Levies for the new Regiment go on. There are Reports of a second Attack on Fort Dobbs in North-Carolina. There have been no Accounts either from Fort Prince George, Keowee, or Fort Loudoun, since those published in this Paper of 5th and 12th ult, nor have we been able to learn what, or if any Assistance, the Provinces of Virginia and North Carolina will afford in reducing the Cherokees.

May 22, 1760 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLES-TOWN (in South Carolina) April 23. An Account is just now received, that a Catawba Woman and Child have been lately killed and scalped in their own Country and that two very large Gangs of Cherokees are set out for the Frontiers of North-Carolina and Virginia, while they pretend to treat of Peace with us. […] At the same time that this Peace-talk is come, we hear of the scalping Gangs of Cherokees being more numerous than ever, and extending in the Settlements from Little-Saludy quite to Salisbury in North-Carolina; but the Day before the Express left Ninety-Six, three Men who went to a Plantation at Long Canes to hunt Cattle, were beset by one of those Gangs, of whom only one got back to the Fort; and they aimed particularly at one Archy, a Half breed.

June 19, 1760 The Pennsylvania Gazette
Yesterday also arrived an Express from Virginia, with Dispatches from Governor Fauquier, Private Letters of the 8th Instant, do not give us any Hopes that Fort Loudoun will be relieved from thence; and say, that Colonel Byrd’s Regiment is thus stationed, viz. 400 Men at Alexandria, and the remaining 300 to guard the Frontiers. - Letters of the 24th Instant, from North-Carolina, afford us no Prospect of Assistance from thence, to reduce the Cherokees.

CHARLES -TOWN (South Carolina) August 9. The same Day [Tuesday last] the Hon. Edmond Atkin, Esq; His Majesty’s Agent for, and Superintendant, of Indian Affairs, &c. arrived in town from the Cherokee Country (whither he went with the Army) but last from Pine-tree Creek, on Wateree, where, we are told, he has happily settled the Affair of their Lands, so many Years depending between the Catawba Nation, and this Province and North Carolina: Almost the whole Nation was present, and unanimously approved of what was done; whereby both Provinces may reap great Benefit, as well as Individuals, and the Public in general, especially at this Juncture, because the Dissatisfaction of the Catawbas, on Account of the Lands they claimed, might have been the Means of our losing that brave and faithful Nation, who, tho’ now reduced to about 100 fighting Men, are still important to the Welfare and Security of our Back Settlements. King Hagler, two Catawba Captains, and a young Warrior, accompanied Mr. Atkin down, in order to apply for the Reward granted for Cherokee Scalps, and a Prisoner

Double s's were often written this way on old documents - it just looks like a "p". The "T" is definitely a "J", as the enumerators other J's are formed the same way just as the child Jane's middle initial is a "T", but Jane has the same "J" that appears to be a "T" as Jessee. Jessee's middle initial is a "G". Its not formed like the writer's J's at all. Jesse's name has the same "ss" that looks like a "p" in 1860 as it has in 1850, but the "J" is plainly a "J". The "V" on Vicey's name curves back over the top and so looks like a "D". Ancestry's index has Diony, but it is Vicey on the actual census. She's also listed as Vicey in 1860. You have Saml for one of the children's names and in the census, its Samuel, abbreviated "Saml." There are 3 upstrokes on the written "m". In 1860 the abbreviation is more obvious. Also Hagan is Hagar. I hope this helps

1763 Camden SC
About King Haigler, Catawba Indian Nation - King Hagler, Chief of the Catawba Nation (1750 -1763). A noble Catawba Indian who befriended early Camden settlers, King Haiglar is often called "The Patron Saint of Camden." Today, he reigns over Camden in the form of a life-sized weather vane which graces the tower of what once was the circa -1886 Opera House, now a local department store. 950 Broad Street, Camden.

SC 1763 Catawba Indians -
1760 is chiefly a record of petty warfare between themselves and the Iroquois and other northern tribes, throughout which the colonial government tried to induce the Indians to stop killing one another and go to killing the French. With the single exception of their alliance with the hostile Yamasi, in 1715, they were uniformly friendly toward the English, and afterward kept peace with the United States, but were constantly at war with the Iroquois, Shawnee, Delawares, and other tribes of the Ohio valley, as well as with the Cherokee. The Iroquois and the Lake tribes made long journeys into South Carolina, and the Catawba retaliated by sending small scalping parties into Ohio and Pennsylvania. Their losses from ceaseless attacks of their enemies reduced their numbers steadily, while disease and debauchery introduced by the whites, especially several epidemics of smallpox, accelerated their destruction, so that before the close of the 18th century the great nation was reduced to a pitiful remnant. They sent a large force to help the colonists in the Tuscarora war of 1711-13, and also aided in expeditions against the French and their Indian allies at Ft Du Quesne and elsewhere during the French and Indian war. Later it was proposed to use them and the Cherokee against the Lake tribes under Pontiac in 1763
1761 had some 300 warriors, or about 1,000 people.
1763 they had confirmed to them a reservation, assigned a few years before, of 15 miles square, on both sides of Catawba river, within the present York and Lancaster Counties., S. C. On the approach of the British troops

Thomas Norwood of "Saluda River" whose military service is shown in "Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution" (Moss) is probably the son of Samuel Norwood m. Elizabeth (Brush) (Augusta, VA and Abbeville, SC) and grandson of Theophilus Norwood I m. Elizabeth (Johnson). This would make him a nephew of Theophilus II and a brother of my ggggrandfather, Theophilus (sometimes referred to as "IV"). Most, if not all, male members of this branch of the family all seem to have served in the war. The entry for Thomas (p. 734) reads: "Norwood, Thomas S21400 b. 17 June 1761, Augusta County, Va. While residing on the Sauda River, he entered service during 1781 under Capt. Samuel Rosamond. He marched to Cuffeytown and was enrolled by Maj. Field Pardue to serve in Capt. Richard Johnson's company of horse [sic.] He was in the siege of Grayson's Fort and the siege of Ninety Six as a baggage wagon guard. He served under Capt. Rosamond after the siege was lifted. Thereafter, he joined Capt. Robert Maxwell, with whom he served until the end of the war. A.A.5581;Q324." This Thomas was still living and is listed in Samuel's will of 16 Nov 1789 and Elizabeth's will of 29 Dec 1806 of which he was an executor.
I don't know if this helps, but ... Earl Norwood
MISC NOTE - Darlington, Cheraws Black Creek -
In the book of research on THE South Carolina Norwood TRADITION by Mr. Bauer this information is given on Thomas: "Thomas Norwood: During the 50 year period ending with the 1810 Census of Darlington County, there were two Thomas Norwoods of record in Darlington; One of these was a son of Theophilus 2. ( or Jr. I believe there are 13 on record) This is proved by good circumstantial evidence in the form of the 1790 and 1800 census and land records in SC State Plat Book 8:109 #2 for 200 acres in Cheraws District on the south west side of Black Creek near Swift Creek; surveyed 22 Sept 1784 by William Powe, D. S. Census records show that Thomas Norwood was born before 1755. He may have been the oldest son of Theophilus 2 Norwood, since (in 1784) Thomas was first son to buy land in the Swift Creek area near the land which Theophilus 2 Norwood purchased in 1760. I will not burden this thesis with a detailed rationale of the census records. That is covered in another document. Suffice it to say that a rigorous examination of the census records showed that (1) the Thomas Norwood, with a wife and 9 children in the 1800 census was one generation later than Theophilus 2 Norwood and could only have been a son of Theophilus 2 Norwood; (2) records rule out that he could have been a son of Theophilus's brother, Samuel; (3) records rule out that he could have been any other nephew of Theophilus 2; (3) records rule out that he could have been a cousin or grandson of Theophilus 2; and (4) it would be incredible to believe that he could be unrelated in any way to Theophilus 2 Norwood since he was in the Norwood nest on Swift Creek. (Mr. B. had 2 #3's in that paragraph) This was the Thomas who went to Georgia between 1801 and 1809; and whose son, Britton Norwood, acted as his agent in a land transaction in Darlington in 1815. It is significant that Thomas Norwood did not join the "heirs" of Theophilus 2 Norwood when they were selling this land on Swift Creek in 1792. Thomas appears to have been living in Darlington at that time, and no record explains why he didn't participate in that transaction. However, that fact, alone doesn't preclude Thomas being a son of Theophilus 2 Norwood. There may have been records which would explain it and they were burned in the Darlington Court House fire. Remember, the 1792 Indenture was in private possession and didn't burn." That is the end of his information on Thomas. Do you know the history before Theophilus I, the Tory who was murdered. He was born around 1700 and Theophilus 2 was born around 1725 if my memory is correct. According to this work Thomas would have been the son of Theophilus 2 and Margaret (Dawson). My Zachariah was the son of Theophilus 2 and Eliza (St. George) . Also this Theophilus was in the Revolution on the colony side! ...... Hope this will help. Lucy

1763 NC -
Who were the parents of Hardin S. Skipper, a taxpayer in 1763 Bladen Co., NC? By 21 May 1782 he and his wife Elizabeth (?) were in Washintgon Co., VA where they and Jesse Humphrey administered the estate of Tom SKIPPER.
In 1783 Hardy SKIPPER is on a NC tax list in an area that later became Green Co., TN. At that time VA and NC were in ownership dispute over the land called Washington Co. so the SKIPPER family probably found themselves back in NC without having actually moved.
On 6 Dec 1813, Hardy SKIPPER was on jury duty in Campbell Co., TN along with his son-in-law John Craig. Hardy SKIPPER died 1822 in Campbell Co. and his estate was administered by John Craig.
His widow Elizabeth Skipper's will was probated in 1830 in Campbell Co.
The Will named her daughter Mary Ann (SKIPPER) Craig and
Mary's children

1763 Brunswick Co., NC -
Based upon an email I received from Slade SKIPPER, 4/25/2003, who comes through the George Washington SKIPPER Line, I am confident to call the following: 1) Moses SKIPPER and Grace (????) Skipper, of Brunswick County, NC are the Parents of Abraham SKIPPER, John SKIPPER, and James SKIPPER, (who were born around 1750). 2) Moses and Clemmond SKIPPER were brothers 3) Clemmond SKIPPER is the father of Isaac & Jesse SKIPPER.
The source of my founding comes from references made to the 1772, 1785, 1790 Brunswick County Census and Tax Record Reports.
My research indicates that Abraham, John W. and Isaac of Brunswick County were the sons of Barnabas SKIPPER of Anson Co.
The three brothers moved to Brunswick County before 1790 when they appeared in the Census.
Donna, Barnabus SKIPPER b. ca 1740 went to Marlboro Co., SC before 1800 and is listed in the census there, as is his son John, so the John SKIPPER in 1800 Brunswick Co., NC is not his.
Abraham SKIPPER has absolutely no descendants , among the many hundreds that I have seen, named Barnabus, so I doubt his father's name was Barnabus.
There were Skippers in Brunswick Co. in 1772 (Moses and Clemonds SKIPPER ) and in Bladen Co. in 1763 (Jos., Fred, and Hardy) from which Brunswick was formed.
I strongly suspect that the Brunswick Co. Skippers descended from some of these. I think in this instance, location takes precedence when considering circumstantial evidence.

MISC NOTE - Bertie Co., NC -
Discriminatory Taxation and Indentured Apprenticeship - In mid-eighteenth century North Carolina we find wealthy mixed race families counted in some years by North Carolina tax assessors as "mulatto" and in other years as white. Jeremiah and Henry Bunch, Bertie County slave owners, were taxed in Jonathan Standley's 1764 Bertie County list as "free male Molattors" in 1764, but as whites in Standley's 1765 Bertie list, and again as "free Molatoes" in 1766 [CR 10.702.1]. Michael Going / Gowen was taxed in Granville County as white in 1754 and was called "Michael Goin, Mulattoe" in 1759 [CR 44.701.19]. - John Gibson, Gideon Gibson and Gibeon Chavis, all married the daughters of prosperous white farmers. Some members of the Gibson, Chavis, Bunch and Gowen families became resolutely white after several generations.

Their Excellencies the Governors of North Carolina and of this province, his Honour the Lieutenant-governor of Virginia, and the gentlemen who set out with them from thence on Tuesday the 25th ult. for the congress at Augusta, arrived at Fort Moore on Wednesday last: they were very genteelly entertained at Sheldon, by Stephen Bull, Esq; at Mr. Galphin’s, where they lay the 1st instant: they were met by John Stuart, Esq; Superintendant of the southern district, attended by Attakullakulla, Ottassite, Salloue, and the other Cherokee headmen. The Governor of Georgia arrived at Augusta the 25th past. The presents were all got up safe.

1765 - March 28, 1765 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLES-TOWN (South-Carolina) Feb. 9. Several white men from the western parts of this province and North-Carolina, have lately gone into the Cherokee settlement, and killed beaver, which occasions some uneasiness, as it is expressly contrary to treaty; and we hear the Cherokees have complained of it; but in the same modest terms they have adopted for two or three years past.

August 12, 1765 Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh) -
Charlestown, (South-Carolina) June 19: By letters from North-Carolina, we learn, that Col. Lewis, immedately on receiving information of the barbarous murder of the Cherokee Indians, (as lately mentioned) dispatched expresses to his Honour Francis Fauquier, Esq; Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia, who laid the advices before the Assembly of that colony, then sitting at Williamsburg, and the House of Burgesses came to the following resolutions, viz. - “Resolved, That the killing the Cherokee Indians, as mentioned in a letter of Colonel Andrew Lewis to his Honour the Governor, which he has been pleased to lay before this House, is a flagrant violation of the treaties of peace established and subsisting between his Majesty and the said Indians, and that the offenders ought to be prosecuted with the utmost severity. - “Resolved, That an address be presented to his Honour the Governor, to desire that he will be pleased to offer a considerable reward for apprending the said assassins; that he will cause the resolutions of this House to be transmitted to the Cherokees, and to assure them, that every proper step will be taken to bring the offenders to justice. - Lieutenant-Governor Fauquier accordingly issued a proclamation, offering a reward of £100 for apprehending each of the two principal ringleaders, and £50 for each of the others concerned in the said murders, besides a pardon to any one of them, not an actual perpetrator of the murder, who will make such discovery, that the rest may be brought to justice. Colonel Lewis had apprehended two of the murderers, and had sent two messengers to the Cherokees, to inform them of the whole affair; and we hear from Fort Prince George, that an express was arrived there from Governor Fauquier, which Mr. Price, the Commandant, had sent by an Indian by the Superintendant’s Deputy, then in the Upper Towns, where the relations of the murdered Indians live, and are said to be of great interest.

1766 - July 17, 1766 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLESTOWN, in South-Carolina, June 20. The Cherokee Indians, who expressed great Satisfaction on having the Boundary fixed between them and this Province, and being very impatient to have the Limits between them and the Provinces of North-Carolina and Virginia likewise ascertained, applied, on that Head, to the Honourable John Stuart, Esq; Superintendant of the Southern District of North-America, on whose Representations, we are informed, the Government of North-Carolina appears very willing and desirous to have a Line run, to divide the Settlements of that Province from the Country reserved by his Majesty for the Hunting Ground of those Indians.

July 17, 1766 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLESTOWN, In South Carolina, June 20. A Sachem of the Tuskaroras is arrived at Brunswick, in North Carolina, with Credentials from the Honourable Sir William Johnson, Bart. Superintendant of the Northern District of America. His Errand is to sollicit his Countrymen, settled in North Carolina, to go and join the Rest of their Tribe incorporated with the Six Nations.

July 21, 1766 Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh) -
Charlestoun, May 30. The boundary line between this province and the Cherokee Indians has been lately run, according to the proposal made by his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor. Mr. Cameron, the Superintendant’s Deputy appointed by him for the Cherokee nation, with a number of headmen and warriors, met Mr. Wilkinson, appointed by his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, and happily accomplished the affair. These Indians express great uneasiness at the limits between their lands and those of North-Carolina and Virginia remaining unsettled; and if measures are not speedily taken to give them the reasonable satisfaction they request, it is apprehended bad consequences may ensue.

October 9, 1766 The Pennsylvania Gazette - CHARLES-TOWN, South-Carolina. -
They write from North-Carolina, that one Willam Linvill, his son, and another young man, who had gone over the mountains at the head of the Yadkin river to hunt, were there surprized by some Indians. The father and son were both killed on the spot; the other young man got off, though much wounded, and arrived at his settlement, where he is since dead. No accounts had been received of what tribe or nation the Indians were: But it is thought, the relations of those Cherokees who were killed last year in Virginia, will, according to their inhuman custom, take every opportunity of revenge, at least till they have killed as many as they lost. - The same letters add, that the government of North-Carolina hath agreed, that the line dividing that province from the hunting-grounds claimed by, and reserved to, the Cherokees, shall be immediately run out, as proposed by the said Indians in their talk to the honourable John Stuart, Esq; superintendant of the southern district of America, viz. From the place where the line behind this province terminates on Reedy-River, a north course to the mountains, and thence a direct course to colonel Chiswell’s lead mine, on the Great Kannawah, behind Virginia. In consequence of which, orders have been dispatched to Mr. Cameron, the superintendant’s deputy in the Cherokee nation, to proceed with such headmen as the said nation shall depute, to meet the persons appointed by his excellency governor Tryon, in order to finish this very important business. - September 16. By letters from the Cherokee country we are informed, that the white people mentioned in our last, were killed by a party of northward Indians, who still continue their incursions against the Cherokees, notwithstanding the steps taken by Sir William Johnson, and Mr. Stuart, to effect a peace between them. The son of Attakullakulla, and seven others, his relations, were lately killed by a party who fell upon them as they were picking berries at a small distance from their habitations. Ouconnostota, or the great-warrior, and several other headmen, were lately at fort Prince-George, on a visit to Mr. Price, the commandant, who delivered and explained to them, a talk from the superintendant, relating, among other things, to the war between the Creeks and Chocktaws: Ouconnostota said they were both rogues, and might fight it out between themselves. It appeared the Creeks had been tampering with the Cherokees, in order to induce them to take part with them against the Choctaws.

1767 - May 14, 1767 Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLESTOWN (South Carolina) April 13. - April 14. Our late Intelligences from the Cherokee Country are, that the Northern Tribes had formed a large Encampment on the Back of North Carolina, from whence they frequently dispatched scalping Parties against the Cherokees; but that Salloue, or the young Warrior of Estatoe, had collected a numerous Body of the best Marksmen from all the Towns, to go against them, in order to destroy their Encampment, and prevent any further Incursions from that Quarter.—It is further said, that, after strict Enquiry, the Cherokees had no hand in killing Mr. Boyd; nor were there any of the Virginia Traders murdered, as was reported.

June 8, 1767 Caledonian Mercury (Edinburgh) -
Letters from Charlestown, South Carolina, of April 17th, say, “According to accounts from the Cherokee country, the northern tribes who continue the war against those Indians, having formed a large encampment on the back of North Carolina, from which they continually detached scalping parties against the Cherokees: Salloue, or the young warior of Estatoe, has collected a numerous party of chosen men from all the towns, and is gone out to destroy the said encampment. It appears, upon the strictest enquiry, that the Cherokees were not at all concerned in the murder of Mr. Boyd and that the various acounts of the murder of the seven Virginia traders were entirely groundless, no such murder having been committed.

July 30, 1767 The Pennsylvania Gazette -
CHARLESTOWN South Carolina June 30 July 14 From North Carolina we are informed, that Governor Tyron with the commissioners appointed for that purpose, joined by the chiefs of the Cherokee nation, on the 4th of June, began to run out the boundary line between North Carolina and the Cherokee Hunting - Grounds, at the Corner Tree on Reedy River, where the line behind the province terminates. The surveyors went a north course 53 miles, marking as they went into the mountains; and on the 13th of June, they marked several trees on the top of Mount Tryon, on the head waters of White Oak and Pacolet Creeks, running into Green and Broad Rivers; but several obstacles having impeded a further survey, it was agreed by the whole, that the boundary should be a direct line from the said marked trees to Chiswell’s mines in Virginia which being settled and agreed upon, proper instruments were drawn up, and signed by the parties present, to he transmitted to his Majesty. The Indians were so highly pleased with his Honour’s condescension to their several Requisitions, that they complimented him with the war name of the Great Wolf of North Carolina

SKIPWORTH / SKIPPER: Jonathan (non-Quaker, only on the Draper list) Jonathan Skipworth or SKIPPER is not mentioned in Worldconnect. This might mean he was killed during the Revolution. A Nathan SKIPPER or Skipworth b. Onslow Co., NC received a pension in Maury Co., TN 1827 for service in the North Caroline Line (Col. Armstrong's Regt) seeing battle at Germantown and Brandywine. The other choice for Skipworth is an old Henrico Co., VA family that intermarried with the Randolphs. I believe the Onslow Co., NC family to be more likely. The Skippers, Hammons, Simmons and Spencers of Surry Co., NC may all be interrelated somehow, and I have not figured it out yet, but I think there is a Croatan / Lumbee Indian connection in here somewhere. This connection could explain some of the lack of information on these lines. 1767-1771 Regulator petitions: Barnaby and George SKIPPER sign. Members of the SKIPPER family of Onslow Co., NC changed their name to Skipworth when they moved west. Barnabus SKIPPER is known to be partially Native American and some of his descendants are listed as free persons of color in the 1790 NC census. Free persons of color (native Americans) had full citizenship rights in North Carolina until 1835. Not on the 1782 Montgomery Co., VA personal tax list, nor is he on the 1793 Wythe tax list, nor are there any on the 1790 Surry Co., NC census.

The last notice of them is in 1768, when their remnant, reduced by war and disease to 50 or 60, were still living with the Catawba. - www.accessgenealogy.com
Cheraw. Significance unknown. Also called:
Ani'-Suwa'II, Cherokee name.
Saraw, Suali, synonyms even more common than Cheraw.
Xuala, Xualla, Spanish and Portuguese forms of the word, the x being intended for sh.
Connections. The Cheraw are classed on circumstantial grounds in the Siouan linguistic family though no words of their tongue have been preserved.
Location.-The earliest known location of the Cheraw appears to have been near the head of Saluda River in Pickens and Oconee Counties, S. C., whence they removed at an early date to the present Henderson, Polk, and Rutherford Counties.
In 1768 the survivors numbered 50 to 60.
NOTE: If they were so few I now see why there are very few family histories on the SKIPPER surname.

History of Anson County, NC - Anson County was named in honor of British Admiral Lord George Anson, a First Lord of the Admiralty. He commanded the vessel which brought Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany, to her future husband King George III. Germans emigrated to the area around Anson County, as did many settlers from the British Isles, Africa, and Moravia. In 1748 or 1749 Anson County was formed from Bladen County and, at the time, it reached all the way to the Mississippi River. Petition dated October 9, 1769. "Mr. Speaker and Gen't of the Assembly. Humbly Showeth: That the Province in General labour under general grievances, and the western part thereof under particular ones; which we not only see, but very sensibly feel, being crouch'd beneath our sufferings and not withstanding our sacred privileges, have too long yielded ourselves slaves to remorseless oppression. - Permit us to conceive it to be our inviolable right to make known our grievances, and to petition for redress as appears in the Bill of Rights pass'd in the reign of King Charles the first, as well as the Act of Settlement of the Crown of the Revolution. We therefore beg leave at the Act of the Settlement of the Crown of the Revolution. We therefore beg leave to lay before you a specimen there of that your compassionate endeavors may tend to the relief of your injured Constituents, whose 13 distressed condition call aloud for aid. The alarming cries of the oppressed possibly may reach your ears; but without your zeal how they shall ascend the throne - how relentless is the breast without sympathy, the heart that cannot bleed on a view of our calamity; to see tenderness removed, cruelty stepping in; and all our liberties and privileges invaded and abridg'd (by as it were) domestickes who are conscious of their guilt and void of remorse. - O how darling! how relentless whilst impending Judgements loudly threaten and gaze upon them, with every emblem of merited destruction. A few of
the many grievances are as follows, (viz't) 1. That the poor inhabitants in general are much oppress'd by reason of the disproportionate Taxes, and those of the western Counties in particular; as they are generally in mean circumstances. 2. That no method is prescribed by law for the payment of the taxes of the Western Counties in produce (in lieu of a currency) as in other Counties within this Province to the Peoples great oppression. 3. That Lawyers, Clerks, and other petitioners; in place of being obsequious Servants for the Country's use, are become a nuisance, as the business of the people is often transacted without the least degree of fairness, the intention of the law evaded, exorbitant fees extorted, and the sufferers left to mourn under their oppressions. 4. That an Attorney should have it in his power, either for the sake of ease or interest, or to gratify their malevolence and spite, or commence suits to what courts he pleases, however inconvenient it may be to the Defendants; is a very great oppression. 5. That all unlawful fees taken in Indictment, where the Defendant is acquitted by his Country (however customary it may be) is an oppression. 6. That Lawyers, Clerks, and others, extorting more fees than is intended by law; is also an oppression. 7. That the violation of the King's Instructions to his Delegates, their artfulness in concealing the same from him; and the great injury the People thereby sustains: is a manifest oppression. And for remedy whereof, we take the freedom to recommend the following mode of redress, not doubting audience and acceptance which will not only tend to our relief, but command prayers at a duty from your humble Petitioners. 1. That at all elections each suffrage be given by Ticket & Ballot. 2. That the mode of Taxation be altered, and each person pay in proportion to the proffits arising from his Estate. 3. That no future tax be laid in Money, until a currency is made. 4. That there may be established a Western as well as a Northern and Southern District, and a Treasurer for the same. 5. That when a currency is made it may be let out by a loan office (on land security) and a Treasurer for the same 6. That all debts above 60s (shillings) and under 10 pounds be tried and determined without lawyers, by a jury of six freeholders, impaneled by a Justice, and that their verdict be enter'd by the said Justice, and be a final judgement. 7. That the Chief Justice have no perquisites, but a Salary only. 8. That Clerks be restricted in respect to fees, costs, and other things within the course of their office. 9. That Lawyers be effectively Barr'd from exacting and extorting fees. 10. That all doubts may be removed in respect to the payment of fees and costs on Indictments whereas the Defendant is not found guilty by the jury, and therefore acquited. 11. That the Assembly make known the Remonstrance to the King, the conduct of the cruel and 14 oppressive Receiver of the Quit Rents, for omitting the customary easie and effectual method of collecting by distress, and pursuing the expensive mode of commencing suits in the most distant Courts. 12. That the Assembly in like manner make known that the Governor and Council fo frequently grant lands to as many as they think proper without regard to Head Rights, notwithstanding the contrariety of his Majesties instructions, by which means immence sums has been collected, and numerous Patents granted, for much of the most fertile lands in this Province, that is yet uninhabited and cultivated, environed by great numbers of poor people who are necessitated to toil in the cultivation of bad Lands whereon they hardly can subsist, who are thereby deprived of His Majesties liberality and Bounty nor is there the least regard paid to the cultivation clause in said Patent mentioned, as many of the said Council as well as their friends and favorites enjoy large quantities of Lands under the abovementioned circumstances. 13. That the Assembly communicates in like manner the Violation of His Majesties Instructions respecting the Land Office by the Governor and Council, and of their own rules, customs and orders. If it be sufficiently proved, that after they had granted Warrants for some Tracts of Land, and that the same was in due time suvey'd and returned and the Patent fees timely paid into the said office; and that if a private Council was called to avoid spectators, and peremptory orders made that Patents should not be granted; and Warrants by their orders arbitrarily to have been issued in the names of other Persons for the same Lands, and if when intreated by a solicitor they refus'd to render so much as a reason for their so doing, or to refund any part of the money paid by them extorted. 14. That some method may be pointed out that every Improvement on Lands in any of the Proprietors part be proved when begun, by whom, and every sale made, that the eldest may have the preference of at least 300 acres. 15. That all taxes in the following Counties be paid as in other Counties in the Province (i.e.) in the produce of the County and that warehouses be erected as follows (viz), In Anson County at Isom Haleys Ferry Landing on PeeDee River, Rowan and Orange at Cambleton in Cumberland County, Mecklenburg at __?___ on the Catawba River, and in Tryon County at __?__ on __?__ River.
16. That every denomination of People may marry according to their respective mode Ceremony and customs after due publication or License. 17. That Doc't Benjamin Franklin or some other known patriot be appointed agent, to represent the unhappy state of this Province to his Majesty, and to solicit the several Boards in England.

1770 Scotland to SC -
In the year 1770, John SKIPPER and Mary (Shepherd) SKIPPER (his wife) came from Scotland and settled near Charleston, SC. Being unable to speak English well enough to be understood, their name was misinterpreted and they were known as Skipper; this being a very well-known name in that section at that time. To them were born
two children,
John
Betsey.
When quite a young man, son John SKIPPER went to Alabama and was never heard of again.
It was supposed that the Indians had killed him.
Betsey SKIPPER married Ira SKIPPER and had a daughter, Maria (or Marier).
Ira died and Betsey married Peter SKIPPER and went with him to live in Bladen County, NC.
To them were born 7 children -
Ira,
Peter,
Daniel,
Charlotte,
Ellen,
Havallah, and
Patrick....Peter, Sr. was a captain in the War of 1812 and taught school. At the time of his death, he was mail agent between Wilmington NC and Fayetteville NC . On one of his trips he was drowned." .......
Ira and Betsey's daughter, Maria (SKIPPER), married Goodwin Ellison Bowen in Bladen County in 1830. This marriage is the first record I have been able to find about the Shepherds and Skippers. I can trace Maria SKIPPER and Goodwin after their marriage but haven't been able to find a thing before that time.
Anybody have any information or ideas on where to look? ......
