1755 Tax List, Granville Co., North Carolina

Brenda,

Wow! That’s quite a list. Thank you. I did see a few familiar ones on there. Thanks bunches. Lynella.:)

I noticed the name of James Logan. He was the thought to be the grandfather of James Logan Colbert, the Chickasaw Trader and progenator of the powerful Chickasaw Colbert family.

Brenda, according to “Indian/Pioneer Papers” (they interviewed my great uncle Oscar Taylor Richey — 1930s depression era project recording what life was like in Indian Territory (aka Oklahoma) before statehood) in the late 1880s my relatives leased land in the Chickasaw Nation, and they leased it from Benton/Belton Colbert who was a Chickasaw Indian, descended from these same Colberts who were in N Mississippi in 1800, with at least that one line apparently in Granville, NC 50 years before that.

We are not related to them, but my family knew them. I wonder if these Chickasaw Traders were part Saponi or Tutelo or Eno or . . . ? There is a “John Brown” on that partial Chickasaw census of 1818 and my great great great grandpa named John Brown (1785-@1845) was alive at that time (he married Mary Black (possibly a second wife) in 1820 and my great great grandpa David Brown — was born in 1822 or 3). Prob’ly a different John Brown tho — there were so many people with that name back then I can’t keep ttrack of them all.

thanks

I recognize several names. I am curious if anyone knows anything about the Wooten family?
