Hello everyone, Well I am truly amazed. Over the last few days, I have recieved over 200 emails reguarding the Monacan and Cherokee issue, from members of all the various surname's listed on the roll. And the post are still coming in. I promise that each and everyone WILL be answered. And if I can't give you an answer to your questions, I will either direct you to or tell you were to get answers. It may take me a week or so to answer them all, "but you will get a reply". I can't tell you how much your comments mean to me in many of those post. I would like to THANK all you list administrators for allowing me to bring this issue to the attention of your subscribers. I will be leaving your list at the end of the day, and I have really enjoyed my visit here. Folks, in reguards to the info supplied, please just do what you feel is the right thing to do. If you know or were told that these are your Cherokee family members, say so. If they are Monacan and you can prove it, say so as well. Saying it to me is fine, but the folks who need your letters are the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I know their site is down right now, due to the Cobell Litigation, but please keep trying. The US Senate link is also down, but I believe that is because our country is on high alert. I have also spoken with Chief White Eagle, who sit's on the Council of Chief's in Missouri and The Western Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He has sent me the address below for you to write to.

Thanks for that piece of history Donnelle, you seem to lean new things each time you log on to the message board. I made an error in the first name of my gggrandmother, her name was Jane, not Jean Hamilton m John Cullen, 26 June 1853, had a son William Morrison 26 April 1854, Laurieston, Gorbals, Lanark, Scotland, d Ormond Vic 1937.

ALL births except William's were in the then Colony of Victoria. I hope that some one out there is able to assist me in this search, as I only have the names of the children except Grace, but no details of the family pre the mar in 1853 in Scotland.

Looking for anything about Joseph HAMILTON Father of Margaret who married William PHAIR in 1839, he seemed to be from the townland of Clare, Tullylish Parish, witnesses were Alexander & William HAMILTON. IN 1835 Elleanor Hamilton married Samuel FINLAY & the witnesses were Joseph & William Hamilton. We think that the 2 women were sisters, & possibly Joseph was dead by 1839, although there is Joseph Hamilton buried age 70 yrs in 1871, Tullylish Parish, but no Townland. Any contacts out there ???

The City of Hamilton, New Zealand was named after Captain John Fane Charles HAMILTON, R.N., Commander of H.M.S. Esk, who was killed while leading the Naval Brigade in the assault on Gate Pa, Tauranga, on 30th April 1864. The military settlement which has now become the City of Hamilton was named in his honour. John Fane Charles Hamilton was born in 1821. His father was a Colonel, his maternal grandfather an LL.D., an eminent agriculturist and for many years M.P. for Oxford, England. An uncle was a Rear-Admiral. John F.C. Hamilton joined the Navy when only 14. During the period when he was 20-22 years old he was present, either in boats or on the shore at engagements at Amoy, Chinghae, Segoan, Charpoo and Woosyung in China. He served on some peaceful stations and was promoted to Lieutenant when 23 years old. He was promoted again for his services at the Siege of Sebastapol in the Crimean War. It was here that his crew presented him with the sword which his descendants have handed over to the City of Hamilton together with his decoration. His decorations were; -British China War with the following clasps: -China 1842, Fatshan 1857, Canton 1857. -British Crimea Medal -one clasp - Sebastapol -Turkish Decoration -Order of Medijide. -Turkish Crimea Medal -La Crimea 1855. At the age of 37 he became a captain, and during the Maori Wars he was sent to New Zealand in command of H.M.S. Esk. She was a corvette of 1169 tons. For those days her armament was powerful: 16 plain bored 8-inch guns, 4 40-pounder and 1 110-pounder Armstrong field guns,. At the Battle of Gate Pa, Tauranga, Captain Hamilton was in charge of the reserve. When the main arrack was in confusion Hamilton made an heroic effort to stay the panic, but was shot leading his men. He was then 40 years old. He was an able officer and held the confidence of his men. He was also a great favourite with the officers and all of the arms who were acquainted with him. No doubt his popularity and his excellent service record were the reasons why Colonel William Moule chose Hamilton as the name of the new settlement in he Waikato, the site for which was fixed shortly afterward. The Hamilton City Council has given the sword and decorations a place of honour in the council chambers. from the Waikato Times Hamilton Centenary Issue, Monday August 2 1864.

I think no matter how far I get, there will always be a hint of a question, "Now where did he come from and who were his parents"?

All of the discussion so far has been migration to America and Canada, whist I acknowledge that this is correct, may I add an omission. Like Dean I am searching for a Hamilton, Jean dob unknown in Lanark Scotland, mar John CULLEN 26 June 1853 Gorbals, Lanark Scotland. Jean & John like many other either by freewill or force [CONVICTS1788-1868]left the shores of Britain for AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND. We don't know the count down here or NZ, though it is many. For those that are unaware, a major city in NZ is called Hamilton. There are one or two in Australia also. Jean and John settled in Melbourne, Colony of Victoria between 1854 -6. If anyone can help I would appreciate it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dean Shipley" <shipley@midsouth.rr.com> To: <HAMILTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [HAM] Do Hamiltons generally originate from England, Scotland and Ireland? > Since Hamilton's from the 1600's are being mentioned below...does anyone > have any info about a John Hamilton &/or Mary Grimball??? > > I do know that Mary's parents were Paul Grimball & Mary Stoney both of whom > were born in England & died in Colleton County South Carolina. > > Any info would be greatly appreciated. > > Dean Shipley > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Garth A.

Hello list members, Thank you for all your post. I am new on this list and I am only trying to make folks aware of the situation with the Monacan Indians and Cherokee Indians geneologys, and because your surname is mentioned within. I personally have nothing to gain by either tribe. I am a Lenapah and my grandmothers people were of the Delaware Nation Indians, who were adopted by the Cherokee.I don't have any cards , nor do I want any, I have no Chief and no I don't live on a reservation. (for those of you who asked) I will tell anyone on any list, I am more then willing to help folks find their NA roots. I don't care what tribe they are. I have been helping people for almost 4 years now. My specialty is the Cherokee Freedmen. And I work very hard at all I do. In reguards to the Monacan-Cherokee families, I have had the oppurtunity to know and speak with both sides. I personally have nothing against the Monacan Indians. But I will say that if they are not Monacan and are Cherokee, then they need to seek Cherokee tribal status and not Monacan tribal status. I do not want to hear the words: "Well so what if they are Cherokee?" This has been said to me about 5 different times from various people. Well I think the Cherokee would have somthing to say about that. I have watched comments for months on both sides and after seeing the comments made below by a major supporter of the Monacan, I can only conclude that there is real basis for the questions reguarding their Monacan tribal status. We now have their own supporters stating that the geneology is inaccurate. <A HREF="http://www.joepayne.org/mallory.htm"> http://www.joepayne.org/mallory.htm</A> http://www.joepayne.org/mallory.htm I would like to add that I really don't think the fault is with the Monacan families. I believe the fault is with Dr. Peter Houch and his book "Indian Island". The Monacan Indians of Amherst VA, recieved their state reconition because of the book. Well not only are their documents to show that an article in the book has been altered, but again we have a Monacan major supporter saying he believes they made a mistake. I believe many of these families may have been mislead. I personnally want to reach out to these families and help them find their true roots. I am more then willing to work with any Monacan family of the tribe. If this was a matter of just a few geneologys being mixed up, then that would be one thing.That I think could be resolved. But it is simply not the case. And when a supporter of the Monacan says, that the marriage of Robert Johns and Mary Indian are incorrect, well what is left? You then have a tribal roster of names claiming to be their desendents, which just isn't true. I wonder if it is true that Dr Peter Houck started his publishing Co with the making of this book? I wonder were the proceeds of his book went to? Who were the original people who got these families together for interviews? I wonder what connections Dr. Houck has to politicians in the state of Virginia? Why are the Monacan trying to by-pass the Bureau of Indian Affairs, as other tribes have had to do? So as you can see, my research into all of this is far from over. Too many questions to be answered. I will be leaving your list in on Sunday, but I welcome any questions, concerns, comments you may have on this issue.
