Here is a link to an article about a lady who may be Saponi and is my 6th great grandmother and grandfather Thomas Ashcraft. I am interested in finding out more about them and if there is any relations on this forum. Her son, my 5th great grandfather married Sary Huntly whose sister was Oh Ko Wi Ke Patsy Huntly Armstrong. They are descended from Meadows/ Meador, Alsobrooks, and Stone. The 1815 tax list in Anson Co. NC shows some of them listed as black and others as white. No category for anything else.
Its has to be more that coincidental that this family of mine from Brunswick VA ended up in Chickasaw territory in N. Mississippi and N. Alabama and some of their ancestors claimed to be Chickasaw.
Copied from Saponi timeline: 1721 Chickasaw Indians from N. Mississippi visited the fort in Oct 1721
The oldest son to Thomas and Oholabamah was born at Haw River, Orange County. His children were born around Hillsborough, Orange County, NC.
Welcome, I descend from Daniel Meadows of the Flat River/ Haw River area of old Orange co (current Durham &Person co) and have extensive info on the Meadows family. What is your exact connection?

I’ve got two connections to the Meadows.
My 5th great grand aunt Eleanor Shearmon/Sherman married James Meadows and had a son Daniel I think in Granville.
My 7th great grandmother was Zilpha Sarah Meadows/Meador who married Thomas Huntley Sr. Her parents were Jason Meadows and Sarah Stone both from Virginia and both died in Anson, NC.
Their son Thomas Jr. married Jane Cook or Alsobrook
Their daughter Sary married John Ashcraft, son of Oholabamah. Sary is supposed to be from a tribe but not sure. Her sister is an Marth OhKoWeKi who married an Armstrong.
All these families trickled through Orange Co. NC I believe and ended up in Anson Co. From there my line moved to Chickasaw territory before the removal.
Do you have your James Meadows as son of Daniel Meadows and Jane Woodleif of Bristol Parish, VA? I descend from James’ brother, Daniel.

BINGO! James Meadows born 1690 Bristol and died in Ganville 1755 then Jane Woodleif born 1690. Their son James married Eleanor Sherman/Shearman, distant aunt and uncle by marriage so you would be a cousin. I am descended from her brother Mischael Shearman/Sherman who married Mary Washington. Their sister Lucretia married John Cash, where Johnny Cash came from.
The Meadows I am descended from though, are from Essex, Virginia but ended up in Anson Co. NC and others went to Chesterfield, SC.
