Hi I am researching McCown's not McKewn's but I had to butt in if you don't mind. Had friends in Austin Texas many years ago and the surname was Tally and they were Indian; he was Cherokee, very much Cherokee, not just a little. frances ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet Jilote" <jilote@earthlink.net> To: <SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 23:58 PM Subject: Re: [SC] TALLEY/SHOKES/JONES/MCKEWEN > I found the following site that listed a William Talley > Shokes JONES. > > http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/r/i/Kim-E-Grissom/ODT > 1-0002.html > > I am researching the SHOKES line. > I have found recent members of the SHOKES/JONES family in > the Summerville, SC area. > > Janet Nielson Jilote > Chas, SC > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Jim & Harriette <jwlockhart@qwest.net> > To: <SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 4:34 PM > Subject: [SC] McKewn > > > Hello, > > I'm researching my McKewn line and have hit a brick wall > with my great great > grandparents, William Talley McKewn and Julia Ann Fordham > McKewn.

Frances, Interesting note on TALLY and being Indian. My g-gdft John Henry SHOKES was marred to Matilda HARRISON who was part Native American. I've had a difficult time tracing her roots. But her family seems to come from the Colleton Co area where a small band of Native Americans lived along the Edistio River. Another name that ties into my lines is PENDARVIS which also has mixed blood. Possibilities for my Wm Talley Shokes Jones counld be adoption. There was one SHOKES family in the Summerville area that lost many of the members during a New Years Eve fire (in the 1800s - going by memory). And it's not all that unusual for a person to have more than one middle name. Will have to do more research on TALLEY/TALLY. Thanks for responding, Janet Nielson Jilote Chas, SC PS: don't be so quick to discard a McCOWN and McKEWAN connection. I've seen it all too often... people boast, "We've always spelled our name that way!" Your family may have, but record keepers may not have. I'm sure you've investigated McCOWANs, right? Well, 'member u's look'n in da South!
