I find this comment: "Margaret's family was part of the Chickasaws led bySquirrel King, who left the east coast and moved to the Carolinas to escape the French. Margaret may have been born in South Carolina as Squirrel King went back east prior to her birth." Who was "Squirrell King" and what is the story about his movements? Any clue will be appreciated.

Can you provide the source for your information about Choctaws escaping French to go to South Carolina? My great-great grandmother,(English name Ruth Turner, Choctaw name, Lilliketch)said she was from the Carolinas.
