Dose any one actualy have paper work prof that the hathcock family was saponi.
I had bits and pieces but could never pin it down to justify membership in the occanechi saponi people in mebane NC.
Not proof, but a lead –
I don’t know whether you have seen it or not, but there is a book by Richard and Vickie Haithcock which lists Haithcock and Hathcock as Saponi and Hathcock as Creek. There are pages in the book that are printouts from the GenForm chat forum (from http://genform.geneaology.com) with family information. I am not a Haithcock/Hathcock, but I copied one of these pages because it had a bit of information I didn’t know. It is a page about Benjamin and Nacny Hathcock of Stanly Co, NC (can’t tell what years). It explains that, “Benjamin did not have to an Indian. Apparently, the Saponees were matrilocal. So any child of a union of Saponee and any other – white, Indian, whatever – would have to or could claim Saponee last name.” The author of this chat message says they have seen this happen in Stanly Co, NC when Sally Hathcock and Daniel Perry married and their daughter claimed Hathcock as her last name.
The information on the book title, etc. is in this forum (geneaology at Sapponi Town) under the Dixon/Dickson thread – the 12th message down. It may be that this book has some version of proof for you. If its usefull to you I could look, but I have to start giving finals this coming week. I have a couple busy weeks coming up here at the end of the semester – so a trip downtown to the library might have to wait a couple weeks. let me know if you need me.
