Bill,you may well have this information and I will not attemp to enumerate all the names. July 31, 1854 Congress recognized and authorized the addition of 88 names to the Siler Roll of the Cherokee. My cousin sent this to me this week and our interest was primarily on the Elliott’s listed there. In remembering the names I see on this site and your discussion of many of the surnames my attention was sparked when I saw the names of Hicks, and Goen (could that be another spelling of Goin?). Ed

Thank you,

Hi akhasa,

On March 31, 1789, Britain Jones paid his tax. (Greensville Co., VA; tax list A)
On May 9, 1789, Surrell Jones Jeffries is listed as “above 16 & under 21”. The person charged with his tax is Simon Jeffries. On the same day, David, William, Collin Johnson and Shadrach, Issac, Simon, Surrell, and Harris Jeffries pay their taxes. (Greensville Co., VA; tax list A)
On April 14, 1798 Britton Jones and Cyrel Jones paid their personal property taxes together in Greensville Co., VA.
Note: The 1789 tax lists is considered a replacement for the 1790 census records and the 1798 for the 1800.
I believe I remember seeing a Peggy Jones on the Register of Free Persons of Colour in Greensville County, 1803 – 1832, but I will have to find my copy of it back out and see (remind me if I don’t post it before too long).
