Elizabeth WILSON, born: 1754-56 in Guilford Co., NC or White, Habersham Co., GA, died: Abt. 1821 in Jefferson Co., AL or Bradshaws near Giles County Line, TN, (may have been the sister of John WILSON and Mary WILSON who married Andrew McCLURE and their parents names are not known by me at this time but trying to find.) Elizabeth WILSON married Abt. 1769 in either Guilford Co., NC or White, Habersham Co., GA, to David McCRACKEN, Jr., (RS,) born: April 18, 1747 in St. Mary's County, Maryland or Guilford Co., NC, died: Bef. August 24, 1812 near Bradshaw Co., TN or.Lincoln County, Tennessee. Your information shown much further below regarding the Cherokee traders and Cherokee tribe members named WILSON and those out of Brunswick County, Virginia in the early 1700s as well as North Carolina and I would assume probably later into South Carolina, Georgia, etc. makes me think that there are probably those in this group that are connected to the WILSON-PIERCE family group that married into and is descended from the Cherokee family group it is believed that I descend from that married into my MYRICK family group that appears to have, originally, been out of the area of Brunswick County, Virginia in Abt. 1700, earlier on Isle of Wight/Surry Counties, that was then in North Carolina and South Carolina with my 4th great grandfather, James MYRICK, born: Abt. 1740 in Orangeburgh District, South Carolina, who married Mary BROOKER, and I descend through their son, William MYRICK, born: Abt. 1788 in Barnwell County, South Carolina, (formerly Orangeburgh District and Winton County,) who married Elizabeth "Bettie?" PIERCE, born: 1790 in Old 96th District, South Carolina, whom is believed to have been the daughter of Hugh PIERCE, (RS,) born: Abt. 1749 in Frederick County, Virginia, who died in the early 1840s in Alabama, and his Cherokee wife, Sophia/Sofia HUNTER/ poss. aka BOWLES, born sometime later than her husband, died: 1849 in Henderson, Rusk County, Texas, whom is believed to have been the daughter of Cherokee parents, father: Bold HUNTER, born: Abt. 1750 in North Carolina, and mother: Beaver TOTER/TOATER, known to have been in Georgia in the 1830s and listed as a deeded land owner. This Bold HUNTER is possibly the same Bold HUNTER, aka DUWALI/D'IWALI as the Texas Cherokee (Chief) John BOWLES, Sr., (said to be 1/2 Cherokee from his mother and 1/2 Scottish from his "Trader" father, ? BOWLES,) and he was born in Abt. 1750 in North Carolina, died: July 16, 1839 in East Texas. The aforementioned Hugh PIERCE, (RS,) and Sophia/Sofia HUNTER had several known children including the George PIERCE who married Elizabeth McCRACKEN, born: 1776 in South Carolina, who was the daughter of the aformentioned Elizabeth WILSON and David McCRACKEN, Jr., (RS.) Looking forward to hearing from any of you who might know anything about the names of the parents of Elizabeth WILSON and any other connecting Cherokee/Trader information for them and/or any of the other families mentioned. In advance, I thank you. Sincerely, Bellinda Myrick-Barnett
