Hey Michele! I have been wondering about you too! Did you ever finish your dissertation? In late February I thought I would be moving into a tent, but a couple let me move into their house in the Smokies. That has really broadened my NA research efforts because there are SO MANY famous archaeological sites nearby. I live in the original location of the Tuskegee Creeks and only ten minutes from the site of Chiaha. Both de Soto and Pardo came past my mail box! Another surprise is that even though I live near the oldest continuously occupied Cherokee community (Snowbird) all but one of the Indian place names in this county is either Hitchiti or Muskogee Creek. The other place name is claimed by both the Yuchi and the Cherokees. It is literally the Yuchi word, but stretched a bit to be Cherokee. The truth is out there somewhere. Well, at this moment I don't have a dollar on me, but am extremely healthy and things are happening now, which will probably produce income in the future. Y'all be good, hear? Richard

Good afternoon Tim Actually, I am part Yuchi myself, through the Yuchi Village at Barnard's Landing on the Savannah. It is very typical for Georgia Creeks to be part Yuchi. The Hitchiti-speaking Creeks and Yuchi often located their towns near each other. When the Muskogees signed the fraudulent Treaty of Indian Springs, the Hitchiti's and Yuchi refused to honor it, and tried to hide out in remote communities - often intermarrying in the process. Here is the main Eastern Yuchi web site. They are having a get-together in mid-June in Saltville, VA. _http://www.yuchi.org/_ (http://www.yuchi.org/) Have a blessed Sunday Richard

Glad to see your work being so well received, Richard. I've heard some good comments from some friends that have attended your lectures in the past. I want to ask you a question about the Yuchi. Within a week, I was notified by a person that her sons had a perfect DNA match with my DNA, and they are members of the Muscogee Creek Nation in OK as well as their dad was half Hispanic and half Yuchi with a line into Timothy Barnard and believed it to be through Timpoochee Barnard. Some of Timpoochee's decedents changed their name to Barnett.....the surname of this family from OK. I know you don't do much on genealogy, but do you have any reference materials about the Yuchi other than what we can Google through the internet? I suspect my grand daddy Tom Timothy that was raised an orphan many have actually came out of the Yuchi nation.

This information came from the mother of her sons that my DNA matched that live in AZ. They were living in OK when the kids were born. One is now near 20. Apparently she did some research on her deceased husband's heritage as he was half Hispanic and half Yuchi. I found the boys great grand daddy on the Dawes List and he was listed as 3/4 blood. That's all I have on it but am seeing a lot of info going all over the place with the variations of spelling for Barnard....Timothy and his sons which one is Timpoochee. I found where years ago there was a conference or some kind of gathering of Yuchi at Columbus, GA. I imagine we will have to get hold of the city and state officials to find out more. I haven't gotten there yet. RICHARD T. may know if there is a group of Yuchi in Columbus GA. How about it Richard? Will you keep me in the loop with anything you try and anything you find out, please. If we do team work, we eliminate wasted effort and spinning wheels. People on this site helped me help myself from day one hunting my blood and I imagine there are some that knows a lot about the Yuchi. I will spend some time on this hunt....have lots of other things in the mill as well including getting my ceremonial regalia together for this upcoming ceremony at Lower Creek, Whigham, GA and a week long Earth Skills (Primitive Living) in northern part of GA.

You can find more on them in Columbus, GA. What I ind an ironic twist of history is that the Yuchi were forced to vacate heir areas in the Jacksonian era (actually Cosena did not wait 'till forced emoval - some of them self-emigrated to Indian Territory before that) and uess who replaced them in GA and AL? Some of my Cobb ancestors! So my ids are a mix of the clash." Hi Tim, How did you find that the list that stated the Yuchis living in Columbus, Ga. I am looking for my husband's grandfather, Wilson L. Culberson b. abt 1834 who was in Columbus and Hamilton, Ga from 1870 til his death abt 1916-1917. He and his 3 sons were listed as Mulattos. Family stories say they are Cherokee, but could be Yuchi. I cannot find anything on Wilson before 1870. Any ideas? Thanks, Glenda

CONGRADS! I know the feelings as well......after around 60 years, with the help of many on this site, I was assisted in finding proof of my native blood which lead to being brought into the Lower Muscogee Creek Nation. THEN....JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, I was told I have an exact DNA match with these three sons of this lady that lives in AZ, but was once married to a half Hispanic and half Yuchi in OK where the boys were born.....one is now near 20 years old. The blood line is with the Barnett surname that traces back to Timothy Barnard and his son, it seems, with Timpoochee Barnard being the likely ancestor. I suspected my grand daddy, Tom Timothy (b 1854), was out of the Hitachi due to seeing a government bill dated 1803 for a Timothley (an Hitachi) that was on the list. There is still a dead end with Tom, being raised as an orphan, but have heard stories of his parents migration without him, and that he went searching OK for them after he was raised from 6 years old with some aunt married to a white man, then came back to Monroe County. It seems, based on my DNA he may have came out of the Yuchi instead. >From what I have found, and was told, the Barnard name was changed somewhere along the line after Timpoochee for some reason. We know many natives changed their name at times to hide. The sons are registered with the Muscogee Creek Nation in OK through their great grand father who was on the Dawes Report dated in 1907....roll number 283,William Abraham Barnett, Jr. I verified the name and number on the Dawes Report....it's there. He was listed as 3/4 blood. Does anyone know anything about this line the mother gave me? Here is the info I was sent and any help will be appreciated: "Here's the boys' Yuchi background: Their father was Donald James "Barney" Barnett, passed away in 2007. His father, their grandfather, was Elliott Jean Barnett, d. in 2003 (?). He was from both Haskell and Sapulpa, OK. His father was William Abraham Barnett, Jr. The roll # is 283 (I think, without looking). Therefore his father had to be William Abraham Barnett, Sr. I'm thinking this is the one that I've seen in some writings as Billy Barnett. But from him back to Timothy Barnard, the son of the English immigrants, I have a few gaps. The descendents of Cosena Barnard have surnames of Gregory and Brown. Sam Brown was a "chief," although the Yuchi are not a federally recognized tribe. They're considered a minority group within the Creek Nation and had lived in the Sapulpa area for quite some time. They tried as recently as 2000 for that status but did not get it. They're too mixed in by now, I guess, and last I heard there were only about 13 people that spoke the language. By the way, the language is not related at all to the rest of the Southeastern groups. It seems to be an anomaly but they have classified it as Siouan, I believe. You can find more on them in Columbus, GA. What I find an ironic twist of history is that the Yuchi were forced to vacate their areas in the Jacksonian era (actually Cosena did not wait 'till forced removal - some of them self-emigrated to Indian Territory before that) and guess who replaced them in GA and AL? Some of my Cobb ancestors! So my kids are a mix of the clash." Again.....any help is appreciated.
