Does anyone know where "William Springston" the frontier trader came from or who his parents were? I think he is the key to linking the other Springston lines.
You can email me directly at mwdavis@atomiceffect.com

Hi - My grandmother is Virginia Springston Beilfuss. This sounds like her family that you are talking about. I have pictures and would love to chat with you some more. Please e-mail me at mbcrox1@msn.com. Thanks, Mary Lou Beilfuss Croxford

Re: Alberta Springston

MaryCroxford — 2005-07-18 23:11:06Z

Hi - I just pulled out some of my notes. I'm assuming your grandfather is Fred Dennis Springston? He is the brother to my grandmother Virginia Ann Springston Beilfuss. They had 6 other siblings, William Thomas Springston, Randolph D. Springston, Bertha Springston, Ralph Springston, Bert Springston and Dau Springston. I have a picture of a family reunion in Akron, OH in 1926. Unfortunately my grandmother is not in the picture but her mother and siblings and some nephews and nieces are. If you are interested, I would love to share more info and hear what you know about this family. I will look forward to hearing from you soon. My e-mail is mbcrox1@msn.com ~Mary~

I am also searching for the Springston book by Roy Lockhart. I am having a difficult time finding my Springstons. My great-grandfather was Charles Fred Springston and I believe his father was William Springston and mother was Chrysta Ann Smith (also found in the census as Christine). They lived in Spencer Co, Indiana. From there, I'm lost. Anyone with ideas?

In the book, WHO WAS WHO AMONG THE SOUTHERN INDIANS 1698 - 1907, written by Don Martinit is the following information:

page 601:

SPRINGSTON, ANDERSON - Cherokee, was born October 13, 1814, and was a student at Candy Creek Mission in 1828. In 1835 he lived on Wakoa Creek in McMinn County, Tennessee, his family consisting of one male over 18 and one female over 16. He was woudned by an assailant on May 9, 1842.

Re: Cherokee Springstons

2002-05-07 04:54:43Z

Hi! I'm hoping you can claim a Springston I'm trying to find some info. on.

The family I'm researching is Inlow (intermarried white). I've only got one Inlow that I can't account for, and I found one by the same name listed in Emmet Starr's Notes, Vol. 3, Grant, that shows Wiliam Inlow married to an Elizabeth Springston. Shows a son William Roy Inlow.
Then it has her married to Frank Danderson with a son John Otis Danderson.
Roy Inlow, Frank Danderson and Lizzie Danderson are listed on the Dawes Roll index. I haven't been able to go anywhere to look up the census cards since I found this info. I don't have the book so I can't see who it has for her parents, etc. This info. was given to me by someone who did a lookup. Do you happen to know anything about this Elizabeth Springston and family?

Springston book errors

2003-03-30 15:18:50Z

Hi,

The Roy Lockhart book about the Springston family came out in 1973 or 1974. It has a number of errors and assumptions that did not pan out. Roy is aware of this and we have corresponded to exchange information. I have updated information on the Springston line. Email me at mwdavis@atomiceffect.com

Northern & Southern branches of Springston families

2002-02-02 02:49:27Z

My wife descends from the Springston(stone)(steen)s of Spencer County, IN
I understand that these were not related to the Southern bunch who had Cherokee blood. Wife's grandmother, Garcia Ethyl Springston, said her family was "Indians" but we never got any more detail.
Does anyone know of any connection with the Cherokee and the Northern branch of Springstons.

Springston

2001-09-05 11:11:35Z

There is another bunch of Cherokee Springstons: The 1/2 blood Betsy Scott(daughter of Walter Scott, British agent to the Cherokees during the American Revolution) had children by at least 7 men, including Edward Springston. Their children were Jennie Springston (1 of the 2 wives of "Rich Joe" Vann) & Edley Springston, who clashed with other offspring over Betsey's estate (including William Burgess & Delilah McNair nee Vann); this case is in the Docket Book of the Cherokee Supreme Court (original records in the Tennessee State Archives).

I am descended from Betsey Scott's 1/2 sister, Sally Scott, whose mother was Sarah Hicks, sister of Charles Renatus Hicks. Sally Scott (her husband George McDonald was the uncle of Chief John Ross) was thus a first cousin of James Bigby, Thomas Wilson & presumeably George Wilson. Sometimes is seems that all Cherokees eventually turn out to be related or married to each other.

My GGG grandmother was Ruth Drumgoole who married John Foreman and later George Wilson. I have reason to believe that she may have been given the Springston name when her sister Nancy married William Springston. I think it also interesting that Nancy was also married at one time to John Forman.

I am the last survivor of the Young family in Indian Territory from George/Ruth --- their daughter married my GG Grandfather James Young, GF John Young, F - DeWitt Webster Young

Springston family line

mwdavis — 2002-04-04 20:45:37Z

Hi John,
I have much information on your Springston Family line. I am also a decendant through Sarah Ann "Sally" Springston who was a half sister to your Peter Flovius Springston. Sarah was a child of Abraham and his second wife, Elizabeth Shrode.

Are you familiar with the Springston book by Roy Lockhard written in about 1974? He also said that Abraham's parents were Jacob Springston and Elizabeth Lambert, but recently, he has discovered additional evidence that may lead to different parents.
Email me at mwdavis@redlinemedia.com for the details.
