Following the premise that there is a certain amount of truth to all family stories passed
down generation to generation, we now attempt to follow the story told by Granny hurd (Edith Thornton Hilton Hurd).
This story goes that her mother, Savannah, told her that she herself, was born on a ship named "Savannah". Other family
stories hold that Savannah was of of a certain amount of Native American descent.
Thus we have located the following:
Hi, I'm looking for information on the Savannah River
Chickasaw. I've seen where Tony Carr in the past was mentioned in the Book "Guardians of the Valley: Chickasaws in Colonial
Carolina" in connection to his family being descended from the Savannah River Chickasaw. It states that he traced his familiy
back to Ellender Neece, a full-blood Chickasaw born in that area(Aiken County, S.C.) in 1795. Does anyone know where we may
be able to find any information on the other families that were connected to or descended from the Savannah River Chickasaws?
Any help on this would be very grateful. Thanks.
I have an Old Edgefield District, SC Waterway Map,
that shows exactly where
this area is: ("Chickasaw Fields") just opposite Augusta, GA. Augusta was in what was then (by
1773) Wilkes Co., GA. Wilkes at that time was the newly ceded area, called "The Ceded Lands" - ceded by both the Cherokee
and Creek Nations, to "His Majesty," the King of England, and was under the jurisdiction of "His Majesty's Georgia Rangers,"
headed up by Capt. George Barnard, Lt. Thomas Waters, (later a Col.) and 2nd Lt. Edward Keating.
Long story short; the
Chickasaw lands were seized during the Rev., by the Patriot (later the Fed. Gov't) forces, and some members of the Nation
later sued for return of the lands. I remember that two of the names of those who sued, were a Thomas Brown, and a person
with the surname, Springer. This Thomas Brown was later living on Mine Creek, in Edgefield, fairly near my Abney, Dean, and
Duncan families. Also, the above Edward Keating lived and died there in Edgefield, and has a Will in Edgefield records. Thomas
Waters also moved back to that area, and I believe his land plat was surveyed by my ancestor, John Abney. I believe you can
find more information on this Chickasaw subject, by searching the SC Archives online database, and putting in Thomas Brown,
etc.
Otis Fuller
According to Haywood and other authorities
an outlying colony of Chickasaw formerly dwelt on Savannah river nearly opposite Augusta, Ga., but trouble with the Creeks
drove them westward again. In 1795 the Chickasaw claimed payment from the United States for the land on the Savannah thus
occupied.

The Savannah River is a major river in
the southeastern United States, forming most of the border between the states of South Carolina and Georgia. Two tributaries of the Savannah, the Tugaloo River and the Chattooga River, form the northernmost part of the border. The Savannah River drainage basin extends into the southeastern side of the Appalachian Mountains just inside North Carolina, bounded by the Eastern Continental Divide. The river is around 350 miles (560 km) long. It is formed by the confluence of the Tugaloo
River and the Seneca River. Today this confluence is submerged beneath Lake Hartwell. The Tallulah Gorge is located at the northwest branch of the river.
Two major cities are located along the Savannah
River: Savannah, Georgia, and Augusta, Georgia. They were nuclei of early English settlements during the Colonial period of American history.
