Family Surnames

Osiyo, After long hours of work and research with old papers and journals and old great/great aunts stories I have been able to put together a descent list. I hope it helps someone as well as I can possibly get to know some kin down the line, this is on my patenal side: (My mother’s side is Irish that goes back to the Doyles in Cork Co, Ireland):

GGGG Grandma Uwahali Two Feathers (Catawba/Cherokee) married Scotsman Jack MacNeil…they had:

GGG Grandma Awi Two Feathers (MacNeil) married Cherokee/Choctaw Jack Redbird they had:

GG Grandma Grace Two Feathers (Redbird) married George Massey(Cherokee/Saponi) they had:

G Grandma Indiana Massey married John Dozier, they had:

Grandma M. Dozier married G. Price, they had:

My Dad J.R. Price

Whew…this does take lots of hours and lots of work and $$. Let me know if anyone has any connections or if it helps.

I will post the family surnames I have to date.

My paternal grandfather’s line: direct line is Shelton, Smith, Sharp and Freeman. Some of these have been traced to Tennessee and Virginia.

My paternal Grandmother’s line: direct line is Miller, and Gillespie. Miller has been traced to Pennsylvania.

My maternal grandfather’s line: Jones. This is my most challenging research to date, it is currently limited to my grandfather. He was supposed to have been born in Texas.

My maternal grandmothers line: direct line is Homan, Fieandt, Burnett, Steele, Wear or Weir, Williams, Burns, Cordry, Thomas, Stephens, Kirkpatrick, Garton, Carson, Ewing and Alexander. These have been traced to Tennessee, Kentucky,Virginia and South Carolina.

More to come, I hope.

My wife’s grandfather is a Massey who is supposed to be Cherokee and Saponi (Cheraw). His Cheraw ancestor is Maky Whitefeather Hawkins, but not sure how the Cherokee fits in though.

I think you are probably related to me. I descend from Regnald Green who was in Licking County, Franklin County, OH. They came from Berkely County, WV.

Tech, I think so, too. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now with all the information I am finding on here. However, every search I do on this forum seems to come up with a post from you. I believe I descend from Regnald as well, but my only source for that is The Green Tree book.

So much to share, I don’t know where to begin. My great aunt, Aggie GREEN, owned a cottage on the lake in Port Clinton. I have fond memories of fishing with my grandfather Clarence “Brownie” GREEN on Lake Erie. Boy could he fish! My grandfather GREEN, his parents and most of his siblings lived in Columbus. Most of my GREEN ancestors settled in Plain Twp., Ohio. I was told by a distant cousin that many of our GREENS are buried in Greenhill Cemetery in Johnstown, OH. For some odd reason my great grandfather James Abishia GREEN appears to have been born in Illinois.

I have a hand-written note on the back of a portrait stating that John ROBBINS (my 3rd GGF) married a Wyandot Indian chief’s daughter as his 2nd wife and when she died, he married another one of the chief’s daughters. This is part of our family tradition, but I have never been able to prove it. John had 3 wives and 10 children according to my research. The mothers of John’s children are unclear. I think the order of the wives is 1-Mary, 2-Catherine, 3-Harriet. It is presumed that Mary is the mother of all John’s children except possibly Lewis and Harriet, as she is listed as John’s wife on the 1850 census. According to 1850, 1860 federal census reports, John’s wife was Mary from Pennsylvania. According to 1870 federal census report, John’s wife was Catherine from Ohio. According to 1880 federal census report John was a widower; parents’ place of birth is NJ. I believe that John may have lived in Fishing Creek, Columbia County, Pennsylvania.

I would love to learn more about Raccoontown and the Wyandot burial ground I read about in Ohio. So many questions…wouldn’t a Wyandot wife of a white man likely be buried with her husband?

I am trying to digest all of this. It is so very interesting and I’m so thrilled to have found this forum!

This is my great grandmother Rosa Linda GREEN (nee ROBBINS) and her son, my grandfather, Clarence GREEN.
