Man, this is really good. I just went ahead and make a new section called “Tutelo Immersion” and moved truesaponi’s post over there so we can keep all this good stuff together.

Hi Y’all
I am a Tuckahoe descendant but don’t know too much about it. My Grandfather, Wilbern Leslie Chelf, a Southern Baptist minister told me we were descended from Tuckahoe. I believe the family came from Virginia. Also my McCoy ancestors were connected to the Cherokee possibly through an ancestor named Thomas Armstrong. These relations came from the Bedford VA area I believe. I believe there are some other Tuckahoe descendants out there too. Perhaps we should try to get together and work on some kind of history.
Hello Everyone!
I’m also a Tuckahoe & Cohee, as this is what my Virginia ancestors were called. Even though my ancestors were called Tuckahoe’s & Cohee’s they also were called “white settlers in Indian land”. So, I guess that possibly is the answer to my European & Indian ancestry! I knew that a Tuckahoe was a root at the base of certain trees along the east coast, that was eaten by the Indians in Virginia. As the English wrote about it, they hated it & couldn’t understand why the Indians loved to eat it. English food stinks, what do they know!
The word Cohee, or Cohee’s wasn’t known by any tribe in Virginia, that I spoke to, so remembering that my grandma said we were Cherokee I called Oklahoma. I spoke to a man who said he was the Cherokee Chief. He told me it was a Cherokee word meaning:later, and/or tomorrow. Whether the spelling is right I don’t know, I do know that he understood me when I said the word. Sincerely,
CoheeLady
Dear Linda,
I had never heard the word Cohee or Tuckahoe, until I was at the Va. State Library doing research on our family with my mom. I was not able to get in touch with the author of the book, as I wanted to know where her information came from. So, I am only going by what was stated in the book. Guess I need to check it out again! As you see that’s why I picked my ID. My Cash’s were known as Cohee’s, in the book. These ancestor’s were born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, they all moved to the mountains, following the river. The strange thing is some family members seemed to have came over the mountain, from west to east. Confused yet?
We can only trace back to Westmoreland & Stafford counties, with a William & Elizabeth (Skinner) Cash. Most people say that William is from Scotland, but if you don’t know who his father is, how can you trace him back to Scotland? You can’t! Johnny Cash can believe it, but I’m not going to unless I see proof. Johnny tried to find Indian ancestry in the Cash line, but gave up. Too much work! Well this is one lady who’s not giving up. I have known I was European & Indian, but it’s hard when other family member’s refuse to discuss it. I’m proud of who I am. CoheeLady

Tuckahoe was a doragatory word used by Western Virginians who were mostly Irish, Scotish, and German against the English settlers of Eastern Virginia. The English was quite fond of Indian Bread “also called Tuckahoe”. Alot of place names in Virginia is called Tuckahoe. When Virginians of English descent started coming to Western Virginia they settled in their own little communtities. One such community was called Tuckahoe in Pocahontas County. The Virginians was always insulted when they was called Tuckahoe, but over time they intergrated into the other Ethnic groups of West Virginia. Alot of the older folks here in West Virginia still use the word Tuckahoe, but not often. I see alot of people takling it to mean they was an Indian Tribe.
Cohee was a word used for West Virginians by Virginians. Cohee is not a Indian word. It is a Scottish word literally meaning “go he” or as it would be said today “he goes”. It has really never been determined why West Virginians were called this.
What’s your source for this information? Is it common knowledge in some areas of WV? If so, could you let us know whereabouts?
Thanks.
Okay I will try to answer this the best I can. It all started out when my mother and me started doing our family history. My Grandmother told use about her Grandmother. She said that her Grandmother was a Tuckahoe from Virginia. So I started researching the subject.
It is common in West Virginia and anywhere else in Appalachia that has a Scotch-Irish, or German population to use the word Tuckahoe. Especially in the central and southeastern counties of West Virginia including Pendleton, Pocahontas, Hardy, Randolph, Greenbrier, Braxton, Lewis, and Webster. You don’t hear that often today, but alot of the older folks still know the word. And still like to tease Virginians about it today. West Virginia and Virginia has always had this type of Relationship. Still today jokes are made about each other. I guess because of the Ethnic differance between the two states. Sort of like the relationship England has with Ireland.
Besides what I have been taught by people that lived here. I found a couple of sources for this information. One is “Play of a Fiddle” Traditional Music, Dance, and Folklore in West Virginia by Gerald Milnes pg. 67-69. He heads the Augusta Heritage Center at Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, WV. and he also provided some sources for his information;
Brown, in Bean, et. al, 1996, 36.
Hamill 1945
Harold Wentworth, American Dialet Dictionary (New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, 1944), 123, See also Hans Nathan, 1996.
A song collected from Everett White, who got it from his Braxton County Grandfather, Nelson Wine.. See AHR-007 for recorded version. Nelson Wine was collected from Cox, 1925.
Fischer 1986 makes numerious religious comparisons and distinctions among peoples of these two regions.
The last two was old songs that poked fun of the Tuckahoes.
After reading this again I made two mistakes. The Tuckahoe Comunity I spoke of was in Greenbrier County instead of Pocahontas. And the Scotish word “Cohee” means “Said He” or “He Said” used today.
And to answer the other questions there is a few places called Tuckahoe. In New York and New Jersey. There is about a dozen place names in Virginia called Tuckahoe. But the only difinition I found for Tuckahoe is the Wild Root that was used to make bread. I have never seen where it was used to discribe a people of mixed Ancestry. Do you have a source for this? I think you maybe talking about the Melungeons? My Green family has been associated with this group, and I can believe it with their physical makeup. Alot of them looked more like Indians then the ones I knew when I lived in South Dakota. I just don’t believe there was a Tuckahoe Indian tribe, and I know there wasn’t a Cohee Indian Tribe, because the word only leads back to Scotland.
I know it’s a bother digging up sources months or years after the fact, but if you could flesh out some of those sources it would be helpful. Some of them look like there’s enough info to look them up, but for most there doesn’t seem to be enough info to do anything with them.
There have been a lot of odd names assumed by Indian descended, mixed blood groups, like “Portugee.” Are you sure the people who are saying these folks are English are from the Dutch side? If it’s the allegedly English side, it could be a similar dodge.
Mdilly,
Could you email me information on your Green family? I have Green ancestors who originate in Berkeley County, VA, now West VA. I have been following my family through NA intermarriages from VA, Western PA, Ohio and finally to Iowa. I am interested in seeing Green connections. Email: clanderson@wi.rr.com Thanks.
I have had a hard time finding anything above George Washington Green in this family. George was born about 1808 in Maryland. According to the 1880 Braxton County, WV. Census his parents were both born in Virginia. George married Mary “Polly” Jack daughter of John Jack May 3, 1831 In Bath County, Va. and lived in Bath until about 1848 when they moved to Nicholas County, WV. During the 1860 they all lived in Western Pennsylvania. According to marriage records it stated some of them being born in Fayette and Greene Co., Pa.. Most of them was back in Braxton County, WV. by the 1880 Census. If you have anything that may help on this family please let me know. Here is what I have;

Osiyo Vance ,
In the brewer line George Brewer born 1775 in NC his father Born 1746 in Brunswick Co VA was said according to my aunts pappers to have been a lg tall man of Turkey ho (sure the sp is off) indian decent with 2 wives and a concubine 30 sons ans 3 daughters .Peaceable but great fighters. His mother Rebeca said to be cherokee in other papers. I have also seen the name tuscurao.
Angie
I’m wondering what else is in your aunt’s papers. This information is very interesting. So, does “turkey ho” mean Tutelo, or tuckahoe? The Tutelo are known to have been in Brunswick County, at Fort Christanna. I fact, I believe there’s documentation showing there were still some there in 1746.
I’d love to see the context of the other identifications.
Osiyo Linda,
I just got off the phone with her and she said it was a peace than a cuz Jane sent her and she didnt know what it meant.Im going with her in 3 weeks to alton Mo where the Brewer line stops at to see if we can get more info from other family members . She said that the ark side is about 50 miles from there in mamoth springs.Im going to also try and organize what she does have so it can be looked at farther.Sorry not much help to what your looking far but i think cuz Jane is overlooking the indain in our family So ill have to learn how to do this myself. Shes trying to reenforce the fact that we are decented from England Which is true we came as the first settlers here but tere was a lot of mixing after we got here with diferent tribes. Some in the Family wants this to be overlooked .Not me , If grams was proud of being Blackfoot so am i.
Angie
That will be great. Just try to get this info as verbatim as you can. That ‘turkey ho,’ and ‘tuscarao’ are much more valuable as is than they would be if you were to try to “correct” the spellings and interpret what it means.
Good hunting. For all the people in your family who may be minimizing this part of the family, it looks as if care has been taken to preserve a good deal more than usual for a very long time.
