Valerie, Since I have never really researched the Cornells family, I can't offer you much help. Opothleyahola, a chief and well-known spokesperson for the Upper Creek around the 1820's, is thought to be the son of Davy Cornells, but I don't remember any details about his early years. He did finally lead the Upper Creeks who voluntarily removed in 1832, so you might find some clues to your Cornells family through him. evelyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Valerie Shines Warmly Pacini" <vpacini@earthlink.net> To: <creek-southeast@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 7:35 PM Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Cornells > Hi folks, > Since geneology gets better day by day, I thought I'd ask again if any one > has come across my relatives, especially seeing the reference to Davy > Cornells, Iffa Tustenegee (Dog Warrior).

The Daughtrys can speak for themselves! <G> My 4-great grandfather Captain John Autry materialized out of North Carolina into Georgia where in 1773 he officially settled in the Ceded Lands brought into Crown ownership in a deal by which the Cherokees and Creeks paid off accumulated trade debts to George Galphin. However, he or his brother Alexander or both were apparently already living in the Ceded Lands before any of those lands were sold as evidenced by the fact that they both bought as soon as the lands went on sale, yet in another purchaser's deed the "old Autry cabbin" is referenced as a landmark in the metes and bounds description. The fact that they were from North Carolina and a rough tally of their households including ages and sex of children and number of slaves owned is referenced in the land transaction record which is online in the records of the Ceded Lands, Wilkes County, Georgia. I note that at least living in his household at that time (1773), Alexander had only daughters... no sons... and it appears likely from his children's ages that Alexander was younger than John. Early in the Revolution John became a lieutenant in the Patriot militia company of Robert Carr. This company garrisoned a fort known as Carr's Fort, on the Georgia frontier... which at that time was Wilkes County. After awhile Captain Carr was killed by Indians and John Autry was promoted to captain and assumed command of Carr's Fort. In the early muster rolls of Carr's company there were simultaneously privates named Alexander Autry and Alix Autry. I believe that Alexander was John's brother Alexander who later also became a Patriot militia captain, and that Alix was probably John's oldest son. When the British decided on a Southern strategy and landed in Georgia in force, the Wilkes County Patriots evacuated their families to the "Overmountain" (then western North Carolina, later known as Tennessee) and became a refugee militia. In later land records the state of Georgia, the militia captains who continued to lead their men through this period when they joined with the South Carolina militia were known as "refugee captains". Captain John Autry received a large land grant in Greene County for his Revolutionary War services as a refugee captain but on 2 February 1788 he was killed by Creeks on the banks of Richland Creek near Scull Shoals on the Oconee River and was buried where he fell. His son, John Jr. (my 3-great grandfather) appears as a 16 year old head of household in the 1790 census for Sampson County, North Carolina... which is also described as his place of birth about 1770 or 1771 (although Sampson County had not yet been cut out of Duplin County at that time). Alexander Autry is one of the small number of known participants in the Battle of Kettle Creek (aka the Battle of the Canebreaks) in Wilkes County, Georgia, in which the Georgia Militia with the South Carolina Militia returned to Wilkes County and surprised and pretty much destroyed a much larger contingent of Tories and Indians. One history of that battle says that he bought a large part of the battlefield and farmed it after the war; however, as best I can tell, the Battle of Kettle Creek was actually fought on the land Alexander Autry bought in 1773. Because he died so soon after the War John never applied for a pension himself nor did Alexander. However, both are mentioned in pension applications of men who served under their commands. So far only partial Georgia Revolutionary War pension applications are online on the web and searching them by the surname Autry is a real challenge. As best I recall, I've found Autry spelled 5 different ways there so far. Interestingly, for much of the later part of the war Patriot South Carolina had only a sort of rump government in exile and Patriot Georgia had none at all, which meant that among other things there was no civil authority to grant military commissions... thus there are many references by veterans in their pension applications of Georgia militia officers who served as officers without commissions. I found no reference to the Autrys as such, though. Many of the veterans served under several officers at various times and unfortunately their pension applications were loosely written so even if they do mention their commanding officer's name and events that they (the soldiers/veterans) took part in, it's not a guaranteed thing that the captain they named was also involved in the events mentioned. That said, Captain John was mentioned a good bit more often than Captain Alexander. John was definitely mentioned as leading raids on Cherokee towns, and there is one reference that suggests that he may have participated in the Battle of King's Mountain. As of the last time I looked at the partial records, I found no other specific references, not even unclear ones. So, in general... there were some Autrys in Colonial, Revolutionary and Early Statehood Georgia, in frontier localities where a child could have been "snatched"; however there is no family legend or tradition of such an event so far as I am aware. Also, though I don't think so and don't count the Autrys among my family lines with Creek or other Indian ancestry, there is some sentiment within the line that there is Indian ancestry... and of course even of there is no Indian ancestry in my direct Autry lineage there could be in one or more collateral lines. You can see a photo of my 2-great grandfather John English Autry, who served as a private in the Confederate 64th Georgia Infantry Regiment, here: http://pone.com/ts/rw002.htm Interestingly Kettle Creek was fought on 14 February 1779. John English Autry was wounded in the leg at Olustee, Florida, on 14 February 1864... 85 years later to the day.

I appreciate your input and observations. I don't put anything out of the realm of possibility back in that time and place, especially when it comes to spelling, but the marriage certificate of Susannah Stiggins and Henry Hataway clearly spells his name Hataway. I knew that the Weatherford book identified Susannah's rescuer as Davy Cornells aka Dog Warrior; however, Davy Cornells' death in 1793 near Colerain, GA is well recorded in numerous histories. He was carrying a white flag to talk with some whites intent on killing Indians and they shot him. The massacre at Fort Mims occurred in 1813. Actually, I have found the name of her rescuer spelled many ways - Efau Tustunugee, for instance. In one instance the name was interpreted to mean "loud hollerer or howler." Someone fluent in the language might be able to shed more light on that.

How clearly you have laid out the facts that DNA and Joy King's hard work have uncovered, confirming all of my best-guessed thoughts on our family history going back into the 1600s. Migration patterns are so interesting as well as heritage. Much can be gathered from migration patterns, I believe, along with family lines' proximity as we can "see" our people traveling into our mountains. I feel it can go far to fill in gaps - in terms of reasonable considerations. I am descended through 3 of George All and Agnes Sizemore's children; John Rockhouse, Susan and Rhoda. My Mattinglys mingle John Rockhouse and Susan down to through my g-grandmother, Nancy Mattingly, married to g-grandfather, Elhanon Sizemore b: 1858 - Elhanon was the youngest son born to Willis Sizemore, who was a son of Rhoda Sizemore by an unknown Combs man. Elhanon's mother was Nancy Murphy Collett - daughter of Elhannon Murphy b: Abt. 1795 and an unknown Collett girl (according to our family chart-maker from years ago, Uncle Jefferson Farmer Sizemore b: 1911 who lived his life with our people there in the Redbird River Region). Also my Ashers come together with the marriage of my paternal grandparents, Rev. B.A. and Sarah Slusher/Knuckles Sizemore. My double Bowling family line also comes down also through my Mattinglys to Nancy and Elhannon to Grandfather B.A. b: 1882 to my father, Ray Sizemore b: 1921. Again, thank you.

The Hastie book has an ANNA Cornells, a daughter of Joseph, marrying Tuskenea, the oldest son of Big Warrior. No dates given, but it was before Tecumsah's visit.

Hi folks, Since geneology gets better day by day, I thought I'd ask again if any one has come across my relatives, especially seeing the reference to Davy Cornells, Iffa Tustenegee (Dog Warrior). My ggrandmother was an Ina Cornell, born in Alabama. I have no county, although I am guessing somewhere around Baldwin, etc. since my ggrandfather Edward Owen was born in Georgia. Guessing somewhere around 1860s since grandfather and great aunt were born in the 1880s. Appreciate any links. Mvto.

Wow, Evelyn! In looking at Lynn Hastie's book, she refers more than once to Henry Hathaway as Hatterway. Now, Hatterway could easily be misconstrued to be Autry, especially if one squints one's eye or one's ear ! Especially if one pronounces it as Hah' -tur-wee !

What do you think? gmw

Hi, GMW. When the Redsticks attacked Fort Mims, Susannah and one of the Randon children and an unidentified Black child were rescued by one of the Redsticks, Iffa Tustennuga (whose name is spelled various ways in different accounts of the massacre.) The identity of her rescuer is also something we have never been able to determine, but he obviously knew her and did not want her to be killed, so she and the children were taken to Pensacola with the Red Sticks. In the Weatherford vs. Weatherford trial in Mobile Chancery Court, 1852, Susannah related some of her observations while being held prisoner in Pensacola. Her sister, Mary Stiggins, became William Weatherford's 3rd wife in 1816 and thus her brother-in-law, much to her displeasure. William Weatherford's grandson, Charles Weatherford, in a letter to T. H. Ball in 1890 said, in fact, that his (great) "Aunt Susannah hated William Weatherford with a thorough hatred." Susannah and her siblings were halfbloods, also.

Hi, Evelyn She was taken prisoner by WHOM ? Thanks, GMW

Amanda wrote: I wonder if the name was actually Daughtry, as many with that surname are members of Poarch. Hi Amanda, It's possible that it was a variation of the Daughtry spelling, as that did occur with most of our surnames. However, I did locate some other records in Clark County listing the name Autry, William, so I know there were some Autrys in the locality. I cannot locate the original marriage record of Susannah Stiggins and Absolum Sizemore in 1816 to check to see if the name was simply transcribed incorrectly, but that marriage record as transcribed gives her name as Susannah Autry. We do have her marriage certificate to Henry Hataway in 1812 MS Territory and it gives her name as Susannah Stiggins. He, of course, died at Fort Mims and she was taken prisoner to Pensacola until the end of the Creek War which was 1814. We have plenty of documentation that she did marry Absolum Sizemore in 1816, but rather than giving her name as Susannah Stiggins Hataway, the transcribed marriage record says Susannah Autry. It is an old mystery dating back to the earliest days of our family research and I am taking one more stab at figuring it out. It could possibly have been a middle name, but I've found no early Autry connections to the Stiggins. Evelyn

Today on Veterans Day, I send my heartfelt thanks to all those who have served in the military, not in the least forgetting those brave family members left behind to hold up the home front. I am proud of my husband Gene who served 6 and 1/2 years in the Air Force, with one year in Vietnam and 6 months TDY to Korea during the Pueblo missile crisis. My father Grover Carpenter of Alabama served in the Army Air Corps (now Air Force) in the Pacific during WWII. An interesting coincidence--both my dad and Gene were in the Air Force, both made staff sergeant, and both were plane engine mechanics (Gene worked on jet engines). Through study but no proof, I wonder if my dad may have had an Indian ancestor way back in the early 1800s in KY. Some of his family names in Alabama and later TX--Griffith, Johnson, Sansom, Oliver--may have been intermarried white/Indian. Gene's DNA test showed 20% native heritage on his mother's side, though he hasn't figured out yet which tribe(s) and has not done any tests on his dad's side. We Americans are such a blessed, diverse people and should be proud of all our warriors and their service Mvto--thank you. Carolyn Funderburk

Native Americans have served their country with honor for generations, and we salute them. Dr. Joe Medicine Crow (Crow) was presented earlier this year with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States by President Barack Obama. He added that to his collection: a Congressional Gold Medal, a Bronze Star and Legion d'honneur, the highest decoration given in France. During his military service, Medicine Crow completed all four tasks to become a Crow war chief, including touching a living enemy soldier, disarming an enemy, leading a successful war party and stealing an enemy horse. artist, Monty Singer (Navajo) Army Spc. Lori Piestewa (Hopi) was aware of Indian women who served America before her. This 23-year-old soldier became the first service woman killed in action in Iraq, and the first American Indian woman killed in combat. Her death, on March 23, 2003, touched a grateful nation and changed the name of the most prominent mountain near Phoenix to Piestewa Peak. In the 20th century, five American Indians have been among those soldiers to be distinguished by receiving the United States' highest military honor: the Medal of Honor. Given for military heroism "above and beyond the call of duty," these warriors exhibited extraordinary bravery in the face of the enemy and, in two cases, made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. - Jack C. Montgomery (Cherokee), Ernest Childers (Creek), Van Barfoot (Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians), Mitchell Red Cloud Jr. (Ho-Chunk), and Charles George (Eastern Band of Cherokee). You can honor American Indian veterans by acknowledging their sacrifice to your friends and family members and learning more about the history of their service by visiting your local library, bookstore or veterans hospital. _Join NARF in honoring all Native Americans who are fighting for justice in their communities across the USA by making your donation today_ (http://narf.convio.net/site/R?i=H0nfJdY6-JP1x6jCNHuvQQ..) .

Their children were John Henry, Hester Eveline (my great grandmother), Michael, George Columbus, Frank, and Agnes Alice. The story goes that he was left behind from or ran away from a wagon train in Missouri. At age 14 it shows him as a farmhand in Missouri. Some family members have said his mother was poss.

There are TONS of Hunts on the PeeDee and Lumbee rolls. -----Original Message----- From: esleslie@bellsouth.net To: creek-southeast@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, Nov 10, 2009 10:08 am Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] DNA Hi Carol, Both my brother and a cousin tested E1b1b1 on our Sizemore DNA Project. I ould suggest you join the E-M35 Project at FTDNA if you are wanting to get better idea of where your family probably originated - they do very ndepth research on this haplogroup. E1b1b1 is not an American Indian aplogroup, of course, and we did not expect ours to be. Our Indian blood ame from the female side. The genetic scholars on the E-M35 Project hought that our individual markers suggested the Balkans, but more indepth esting would be required to fine tune the findings and we did not see any eason at this time to go that route. It is very difficult to determine eographical origins from your matches because, percentage wise, they are ased on the number of people who have been tested from that area. Right ow our biggest percentage of matches are from England. This doesn't answer your question about the PeeDee and Lumberton, but hought I'd suggest it. You might also want to subscribe to NA-Newbie-request@rootsweb.com, which is all DNA discussions, and I hope udy doesn't mind this little bit of reference to DNA on a Creek list. velyn S.

It is E1B1A does anyone here have that type haplogroup dna. I looked at maps today and where they were from was not that far from the Pee Dee or Lumberton.Any ideas? carol Reed Sircoulomb Notes on the Creek Indians http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creeknotes/index.htm Early Creek History http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creek/early-history/ Migration Legend of the Creek Indians http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creek/migration/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CREEK-SOUTHEAST-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Notes on the Creek Indians http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creeknotes/index.htm Early Creek History http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creek/early-history/ Migration Legend of the Creek Indians http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/creek/migration/ ------------------------------ o unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CREEK-SOUTHEAST-request@rootsweb.com ith the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of he message
