Am trying to track down specifics about John Kirkland Taliaferro, married Margaret Abigail Beach in Sutton County, Texas. John K's father was John Richard Alexander Taliaferro that married Disey E.S. Jenkins. Can't find where JRA Taliaferro and Disey were married. JRA Taliaferro was born in Bedford County, TN. Their first child was born about 1849 in Texas, we are pretty sure. any decendants of JRA Taliaferro or JK Taliaferro from Texas would be appreciated.

Does Sandy Run off Hardin's Creek still exist?

rsmith6670 — 2009-08-30 04:26:41Z

would anyone know if Sandy Run off Hardin's Creek still exist? Thanks

deed lookup for about 1825

rsmith6670 — 2009-08-30 04:24:57Z

George Ray lived on Sandy Run off Hardin's Creek in Wilkes co Ga. That area became Taliaferro co Ga when it was formed in 1825. George Ray must have died before 1823 because the executors of George Ray sued a man who apparently had tried to buy the property from George Ray or had tried to buy it from the executors of George Ray and he could not pay for it which means someone bought that property after 1825. Would someone have the resources that would likst deeds inthe 1820's in Taliaferro co Ga and see if they can find a deed wehre George Ray's land was sold? Thanks,Ross

At this site is a copy of the picture Charles refers too his mother in the letter. Its at the end of the letter.
F. B. Mayer, Winona (also know as Wakantankawin or Mary Nancy Eastman, mother of Charles Eastman). Sketchbook #41, July 28, 1851. Newberry Library, Edward E. Ayer Art Collection.

Also a transcription, foreword & notes on the letter. This is not where I originally found it. NS

Letter from Charles Alexander Eastman to H. M. Hitchcock, September 8, 1927 A. LAVONNE BROWN RUOFF

The H. M. (Hiram M.) Hitchcock papers in the Edward E. Ayer Collection contain four letters from Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa; Santee Dakota, 1858-1939) to Hitchcock, dated from 1927 to 1935.1 The most interesting of these letters is that of September 8, 1927, transcribed below.2 Here Eastman proudly describes his parents' lineages and poignantly expresses his deep sorrow at the death of his mother when he was an infant.
Little is known about Hitchcock, a businessman and historian from Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1930 he published several articles about early Minnesota history and in 1931 wrote one on Eastman, "An Indian Returns Home."3 During the early twentieth century, Eastman became one of the most prolific authors and speakers on Sioux ethnohistory and American Indian affairs. Among his most acclaimed and widely read books are Indian Boyhood (1902), Old Indian Days (1907), Soul of the Indian (1911), From the Deep Woods to Civilization (1916), and Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains (1918). In Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), Raymond Wilson describes him as "the first major Indian author to write Indian history from the Indian perspective."4 Eastman's mother, named Winona at birth and later Wakantankawin and Mary Nancy Eastman (1830-58), was the daughter of Seth Eastman (1809-75) and Wak inajin win (Mdewakanton Dakota). In 1830 Seth Eastman and Wak inajin win married at Fort Snelling in present-day Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born in New Hampshire, Seth Eastman was a West Point graduate who became a topographical engineer and celebrated painter. {11} In 1833 he left his family behind after the War Department ordered him to Louisiana. He returned to Fort Snelling as commander in 1841, bringing with him a white wife, Mary Henderson Eastman (b. 1818).5 The maternal grandfather of Wakantankawin (Mary Nancy Eastman) was Mahpiya Wicasta, sometimes given as Wichasta (Cloud Man, b. 1780). A Christian convert, Cloud Man was a Mdewakanton Dakota chief who had a French father and Mdewakanton mother. Wahkan- tanawin and Ite Wakanhdi Ota (Many Lightnings), a Wahpeton Dakota, married in 1847. She bore three sons and a daughter before Charles was born near Redwood Falls, Minnesota. After he converted to Christianity, Many Lightnings took the name Jacob Eastman.
The transcription of the signed, autograph letter below retains as much of Eastman's personal style as can be discerned. His divisions and omissions of words, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization have been retained.6 Deleted words are indicated thus: mother. Distinguished anthropologist Beatrice Medicine (Lakota) provided invaluable assistance in the transcription of Dakota names. I am deeply grateful for her help.

Its been awhile since I researched this but did find a nice write up in wiki on Charles Eastman you might enjoy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Eastman

I thought this family was always an interesting search.
My ancestor also is Robt the Immigrant but from his son Francis, brother to John, is my line down. Robt would be my
8th gr grandfather.

Charles was really a go getter even helped in founding the Boy Scouts! also a handsome picture of him
I could not find anything on Chief Cloudman there or Charles' mother Winona.
>>Charles Alexander Eastman (Sioux: Ohiyesa, (pronounced Oh hee' yay suh), February 19, 1858 - January 8, 1939) was a Native American author, physician and reformer. He was active in politics and helped found the Boy Scouts of America.<<<
I'll check some other sources. Am sure Whitehall would not be hard to locate but the father's name to the Chief may.
If/when I find more info will post it. NS

judygabelman1 — 2009-06-03 16:43:25Z

Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information. It is a fascinating history. Do you know if the picture of Charles Eastman's mother is published anywhere, or do you know it's location? It would also be interesting to find the location of Whitehall in King County, VA. We hope to take a trip back there someday. We did visit Fort Snelling and saw Lake Harriet & Calhoun. But, we were unable to visit the museum in St. Paul where there is considerable information on Taliaferro. We hope to go back there also. Would you have information on who the French nobleman was that fathered Chief Cloudman?
Thank you again for your information!

Both buried graveyard of Bedford Presbyterian churh in small brick crypt topped by marble slab inscribed with one name - Taliaferro.

Lawrence-fourth son of James Garnett Taliaferro, of Oakland, was a major in the United States Army.
Education: Private tutoring
Military Service: BET 1812 AND 1819
Military Service: BET 1857 AND 1863
Quartermaster Department
Post BET 1819 AND 1839 Indian Agent at what is now Fort Snelling, MN; first appointed by Pres. Monroe
In her article on Lawrence Taliaferro in the Dictionary of American Biography, Grace Lee Nute does not make it clear whether he performed his duties as Indian agent as a member of the military or as a civilian. I have assumed the latter. She also notes that he was called the "Iron Cutter" by the Indians, who seemed mostly to get along well with him; "Iron Cutter" or "Iron Blade" is a translation of "Taliaferro." Nute correctly notes that the Sioux and the Chippewa [Ojibwa] had been engaged in a war for some time, and that there were other intertribal disputes involving the "Sauk, Foxes [Mesquakie], and Winnebago." Further, Taliaferro was hostile to the American Fur Company's efforts to bribe him or otherwise remove his protection from the tribes.

Taliaferro fathered a child, Mary L. Taliaferro, with a half-breed woman; she was born about the time that he married Eliza Dillon of Bedford, PA. He saw to Mary's education at a local mission school. Nute also notes that Lawrence and his wife, Eliza Dillon, whose marriage was childless, raised an orphan niece in their home.

daughter of the Mdewakanton chief, Cloud Man
in: Minnesota History, 59/5, Spring 2005, pp.189-192
[Article is entitled "Anglo-Dakota Daughters in Early Minnesota" and begins on p.184.]
Lawrence married The Day Sets in what they called a country marriage which was not reconized as a legal marriage back east. Lawrence left The Day Sets when she refused to go with him on furlow from Ft. Shelling. When on furlow back in Pa. While on furlow he courted and married Eliza Dillion on 22 July 1828.
Mary was born in the Summer of 1828.
The Day Set was a quarter breed her grandfather (Chief Cloud Man's father) being French.
Mary lived with Lawrence and Eliza for a time when Lawrence returned to Ft. Shelling. He kept in touch with his daughter until his death. Mary Taliaferro married Warren Woodbury and they had seven children.
In her article in the Dictionary of American Biography on Lawrence Taliaferro, Mary's father, Grace Lee Nute notes Mary was educated by Lawrence at a local (that is, near Fort Snelling, MN, which today is at the southeastern outskirts of Minneapolis) mission school, and later married a former soldier at Ft. Snelling named Warren Woodbury, and lived in West St. Paul [now situated mostly in Dakota Co., partly in Ramsey Co.], MN. She was captured by the Sioux during their uprising of 1862, and rescued after six weeks' captivity. [MR, 040404.]

Reserve, Wis. Sept. 8, 1927 Mr. H. M. Hitchcock Minneapolis, Minn.
My dear friend,
I received your letter and the copies of the picture my beloved mother. I found Mr. Mayer's picture of my mother three years ago in the collection of Mr. Ayers, which was placed in the first floor of the Newberry Library in Chicago, and I had copies made for me by "Underwood and Underwood." However, I am grateful and thank you just the same as if I hadn't the pictures already. Further more I thank you for your kind interest in our family history. I certainly will do what I can toward getting your article in proper and authentic form. I know Mr. Samuel Pond of Minnesota personally and historically, for the family were closely associated with my mother's family in their early missionary efforts among the Sioux.
My great grandfather and my mother's grand-{12}father was instrumental in establishing the first Protestant missionary work among the Sioux and at Minneapolis. My great grandfather's village was located between Harriet and Calhoun Lakes, facing perhaps more toward the latter. But, my mother was born on the shore of Lake Harriet, while camping there, sugar making and fishing, not far from where the old pavilion used to stand, north of the old schoolhouse, where there is, I think then a tablet is now marks it. I do not know the month of her birth, but I think, it was in the early summer of 1830. She married my father in 1847. She only seventeen 17 [sic]. The the picture was made of her in 1851. Therefore, she must have been just twenty one or approaching it. She died sometime in September July, in 1858, from what I learned, of acute Tonsilitis and weekness from my birth. At any rate, it was a throat trouble and not of long duration. The entire Mde wakan towan tribe mourn for her loss because she was
generous and kind and a friend to every body, young and old. Every nursing mother came to my rescue, her child; consequently I was nursed by many mothers, until my paternal grandmother was able to feed me. From my sister's account is my different from this account and also that of my grand mother's.
I was born in Feb, which was recorded by one of my mother's half breed friends, and mother died early in the spring. I consider the latter is likely--but it is true she died in the summer of 1858. When I was four weeks to three four mother months old. So there is confusion in the exact time of her death, a difference of four or five month. She was about twenty-eight -- (28) when she died. She was buried about 20 rods south west from the farm house situated about a mile or so east of the old agency stone house, on a knoll, where the or near the brick building of her grand father Chief Cloud Man had stood. She was the daughter of the third daughter of Chief Mahpiya wicasta (Cloud Man) and Captain Seth Eastman U.S. Army, a New Hampshire young man and a graduate of West Point Military Academy. The latter also was an artist. Two of his paintings are exhibited in Washington, D.C. One was a master piece painting of a great inter-tribal lacross game, played on the plain just north of Fort Snelling. That hangs, among the masterpiece, in the Cochrane's gallery in Washington. The other, a painting of the Santee Sioux
women gathering or harvesting wild rice. That hangs in the rooms of the House Committee on Indian Affairs. It was not very long after her birth Capt. Seth East-man was ordered from Fort Snelling to the Seminole War in Florida. It appears that he did not see her again until 1848. She was then married and had one child (my sister Mary). Traditions exac existed in the Cloud Man family, that Seth was very tender toward his child, and when on his last visit to his child, he pressed it to heart while tears ran down his noble young face. He had ordered all her needs from Henry Sibley's store and when he went away to war, he told my grand mother, when ever she needs anything for the child go to "Wasicun hanska" or "Wapeton hanska" and ask for it and she would have it. That was Gen. Sibleys Sioux name. Mother's [beauty?] beautiful face, body, soul was easy explained when one know the line of her forebear, humblest line is her pPuritan father, but again he was unusually gifted. Chief Cloud Man was the son of a french noble man, but was the son of one a woman, a daughter of a most noted Mdewakan towan chief whose received father, also great chief, of the same tribe, receive the noted Jesuit Priest Hennepin and entertained him nearly three years. As I remember him, small as I was. Chief Cloud Man was very fine
looking old. His hair was pure white, silky and wavy, altho he must have close to hundred years in 1862, he was active. He comes to my paternal grand mother's sugar camp, "to see little Hak a dah" that was childhood name. He had three daughters and two sons. Anpetu inajinwin ("The Day Sets" or "The Day Finishes"), Hanye tu kihn ayewin (Hushes-still-the-night) and Wakan inajin win (Stands Sacred, or Stands Holy, or Stands Mysteriously) but it was meant the first translation. The last is my grand mother. The[y] were all unusually beautiful and spirited one all of them married officers. The oldest left children. The second left one child, namely Mrs. Jennie Titus {14} what who married a white man by the name Titus. She had three sons, Harry, Samuel, and Moses.The two latter were in banking business at Grand Forks, N.D. in early days. The other was farmer at Tracy, Minn. I do not know whether they are living. It appears that my mother had inherited french noble blood as she was also descended from the noblest blood America. She had the best cultural blood of both as well physical and mental gifts. As I said her humblest blood was the puritan from her father, but it was gifted and cultured.
On the other line -- my father was also descended both sides long lines chiefs and great leaders. The happiest compliments that I ever received from any was Gen. Sibley and Gov. Alexander Ramsey, both said to me, "You have done well but you have nothing on your ancestors. We knew them for three generations a long line of great leaders and honor. You inherited some thing from them." These lines are hastily written but essential and authentic account of the genealogy of my beloved mother whose spirited [sic] inspired in all endeavors, may assist you preparing your prose article on my mother. I assure you again my appreciation of your interest bringing the life of my mother before people. Her Indian name was Goddess, viz. Wakantankanwin, and her child hood or birth name was Winona. No other Sioux Woman ever was given that name, as
far as tradition can tell, Because of her beauty of and body and soul. I shall be here until this month, then I intend go back East. In fact, I am waiting for letters from the Brooks-Bryce Foundation of New York City, an organization for writing all the English speaking people for peace. They engaged me to speak for them in England and Scotland in all colleges and schools. If my health will permit I will go. My warm regards-- Yours truly, Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa)
==================================
From Min. History - Winter 1990 Issue - Eliza Dillion Taliaferro Portrait of a Frontier Wife
On a day in November, 1928, a pretty, darkhaired young woman arroved at Fort Snelling to begin a sojourn of about ten years at that remote frontier out Post. She was Elizabeth Dillion Taliaferro (known as Eliza), the recent bride of Major Lawrence Taliaferro, Indian agent at the St. Peter's Agency at Fort Snelling from 1819, when it was established, to 1839.
As is so often the case for 19th-century women , we do not even know the exact date of her birth, though Lawrence Taliaferro's birth date is well recorded - February 28, 1794 - in Whitehall, King's County, Virginia. We do know however, that she was two or three years older than her husband and therefore wos born in 1791 or 1792. We also know that on July 22, 1828, Eliza Dillion married Lawrence Taliaferro in her home in Bedford, Pennsylvania, where her parents, Humprey and Martha Dillion, kept an Inn that was prosperious enough to serve strawberries at Christmas dinner.
It is true that the household burdens were lightened for her by the labor of a number of black slaves that Taliaferro had inherited and brought to Fort Snelling in 1825. He hired some of them out as serants to other officers at the garrison but kept some in his own house with Eliza as their mistress. One of them, thier servant Harriet Robinson,
was married in 1836 at the fort to Dred Scott, the plantiff in the celebrated Supreme Court decision before the Civil War.
A visitor of 1835, the sharp-penned, observent English-born geologist and adventurer, George William Featherstonhaugh, described her as " a Venus un peu passe," though he added that Mrs. Iron Cutter (using
the English translation of the Italian name, Taliaferro), "must have been very handsome." He added that she showed him some "very handsome Indian dresses made of doe skin by a half breed Sioux woman," surmising that "these dresses are emboidered so neatly that I imagine they have been taught the art by the French."
It is possible that Eliza's household at the St. Peter's Agentcy also included,at some time, Lawrence Taliaferro"s mixed blood daughter, Mary. During the 1820s Taliaferro had formed a liaison with a Dakota women, whose name has not come down to us, the daughter of the Mdewakanton chief, Cloud Man. Taliaferro's only child was born at the St. peter's Agentcy on Aug 17, 1828, a few weeks after Taliaferro married Eliza in Pennsylvania.
At some time in the spring or summer of 1838 Eliza returned to her home in Pennsylvania. it seems she did not come back during the next year to Fort Snelling. Perhaps life on the frontier finally proved too much for her and she decided to wait for her husband in the East, A little over a year latter, Lawrence Tailiaferro resigned his commmission as Indian agent at Fort Snelling and, after stopping in St. Louis on the way, he rejoined his wife on August 12, 1839 in Bedford, were the couple spent the rest of their days.
After a brief illness, Major Taliaferro died in the Bedford house on january 20. 1871. In ill health, Eliza continued to live there untill her own death on March 29, 1875. Both she and her husband lie in the graveyard o the Bedford Presbyterian churh in a small brick crypt topped by a marble slab. It is inscribed with one name - Taliaferro.
Letter about Lawrence Taliaferro written by Audrey Jordan, great-great-great-niece of Lawrence, in responce to an article on the Dred Scott Opinions is located on page 7. [This is a good letter so if you don't subscribe to the Civil War Times, check your local library for it.]CTF

Mary's mother was the daughter of Chief Cloudman. Her name was Anpetu Inajinwin (The Day Sets). They were Santee Sioux and associated with Fort Snelling and the agent, Lawrence Taliaferro. There is a lot of information on the family at the museum in St. Paul, MN and on the internet. I don't know anymore about the mother. But, Mary was educated by the missionaries in their village. Let me know anything you find out.
