I have a distant cousin who told me that she was also of Creek-cherokee descent, and her Creek ancestors had been traced back to living around the Pacolet area in South Carolina, and during the removal her Creek ancestors went on the Removal with the Cherokees, and the white officers in charge of the food rations wanted to not give them the food rations because they were Creeks, and not Cherokees, but the Cherokees in the group shared their food with this Creek family. I know my Creek ancestor settled near the Cherokee settlements in western N.C., and is listed on a deed in Buncombe Co. N.C. in 1812. --- On Fri, 8/22/08, Glenn Faulk <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Glenn Faulk <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Yuchi's still in the Southeast in the early > 1900s > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, August 22, 2008, 11:37 AM > When I was a child in Russell County, Al. near Seale, there > was land that was called a Yuchi Reserve (don't know the > meaning of the word reserve in regards to the land they > lived on).Everyone said that Yuchi people lived there and I > remember sometime in the mid-70s that they moved to Florida. > I moved away from the area in 1992 and don't have any > additional knowledge. > > Interestingly, this made me start thinking and i did some > searching.
