Lost Warrior the Ties That Bind 1 2 Lost Warrior the Ties that Bind An oral family history By Larry Thomas 2005 3 Preface My name is Larry Noel Thomas. I am the oldest of my generation. This really all started when I was a kid listening to my Grandfather and his Brothers telling our family stories. In particular "Uncle Paul" (Earnest Paul) Thomas (the family story teller) who lived in Clinton, Louisiana and Uncle Jack who lives in Jackson, Mississippi told stories of where they come from and the many stories of our ancestors. Both these men were excellent storytellers. Growing up I had met Russell Thomas living in Montgomery County, Mississippi several times. His father was Lon Thomas son of Greenwood Thomas. When Uncle Paul died and was buried in Duck Hill, Mississippi, Uncle Russell gave my father a written record of his oral family history. Uncle Russell's account of our family history and Uncle Paul's accounts were identical. Lineage: (1) I, Larry Noel Thomas was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am the oldest son of (2) Edmond Noel Thomas Jr. who was born in Montgomery County, Mississippi. Edmond married Patsy Walker, daughter of Burkie Walker and Marion Tinkle. Edmond was the son of (3) Edmond Noel Thomas who was born on 19 Jan 1907 in Duck Hill, Montgomery, Mississippi. He died on 14 Mar 1970 in Clinton, East Feliciana, Louisiana. Edmond married Mary Elizabeth Holmes, daughter of William Madison Holmes and Ada Beatrice Pierce in Memphis, Shelby, Tennessee. Edmond was the son of (4) John Marshall Thomas who was born on 12 Nov 1871 in Duck Hill, Montgomery, Mississippi. He died on 9 Sep 1936 in Denver, Colorado. John married Abigail T. Taylor, daughter of George Robert Taylor. John was the son of (5) Green Wood Thomas who was born on 9 Oct 1842 in Carroll county, Mississippi. He died on 14 Aug 1902 in Carroll county, Mississippi. Green married Amanda Ann McCaulla, daughter of James McCaulla and Jennie. Greenwood Thomas was the son of (6) John Thomas who was born in 1816 in Sevierville, Sevier, Tennessee. John married Milbrey Applewhite, daughter of John Applewhite in Carroll county, Mississippi. John Thomas was the son of (7) Jay-see (Jesse) Thomas who was born in 1756 in Chota, Monroe, Tennessee. He died in Arkansas. Jay-see married Nayn-see-j (Nancy J). Jay-see was the son of (8) Isaac Thomas who was born in 1735 in Virginia. He died on 30 Oct 1818 in Sevierville, Sevier, Tennessee. Isaac married Ah-lee-sss-ah'-kway-tee (Elizabeth) Mullegan about 1755 in Chota, Monroe, Tennessee. Isaac was the son of (9) William Thomas who was of Isle of Wight, Virginia. He died in Watauga, Tennessee. 4 William Thomas lived as a Cherokee and raised three sons Isaac, Jacob, and John. Isaac Thomas was born about 1735 in Virginia. Isaac Thomas' two brothers wanted to take the white mans life and ended up life long enemies of the Cherokee. Isaac Thomas preferred the ways of the Cherokee and lived the first 45 years of his life with the Cherokee. Isaac Thomas' father was William "The Emigrant" Thomas. He was called William the Emigrant because he chose to emigrate with the Cherokee from the Isle Wight Virginia to Seven Springs, North Carolina in 1745. Isaac Thomas is described as being over six feet tall, straight, strong limbed, and wiry. His features were strongly marked, and his skin was a buckskin color. He wore leggings, moccasins, and hunting-shirt of buckskin. His cool intrepidity had been shown on many occasions. This quality, and his immense strength, gained him great respect among the Cherokee. It is said that Isaac Thomas was a "near giant" and had extraordinary strength and size. He was both feared and loved among the Cherokee and whites alike. Isaac Thomas was called “Big Man” or “Giant Man”, eg-wa’asga-ya’. Isaac Thomas established trading with the Cherokee in the vicinity of Fort Loudon about 1755. Isaac Thomas was required to take a Cherokee wife. His first wife Elizabeth Mulligan (Cherokee name - Ah-lee-sss-ah’-kway-tee) was the woman that was given him. These assigned wives were spies to keep an eye on these white traders by the Cherokee leaders. Isaac Thomas was one of only three white men to live in Chota, City of Refuse. He was allowed this honor due to his Cherokee up bringing. He was said to have built a trading post there that was very substantial. Dragging Canoe Cui Canacina, Tsi'ui-Gunsin'ni, Chuconsene Tsu-gun-sini Dragging Canoe Chief of Amo-yeli-egwa, the great Island. Dragging Canoe was six feet tall, broad and muscular, his strong face deeply pitted with the scars of smallpox. Dragging Canoe would become a powerful leader of the Cherokee. He was said to be ruthless and a great strategist in battle. Dragging Canoe was given this name by the whites that fought against him. Dragging Canoe was the son of Attkullakulla and cousin to Wild Rose. In the treaty signed at Charleston in 1743, the Cherokee not only made peace with the Catawba, but also promised to trade only with the British. Two years later, the Cherokee also concluded a peace with the Wyandotte (an important French ally north of the Ohio), only to learn that the Wyandotte and other French tribes were secretly plotting to break free from the French trade monopoly. At this point, the Cherokee apparently decided the French would not be an improvement over the British. While the French were permitted to build a trading post in their homeland, this was a close as the Cherokee ever came to changing sides. However, the British still had serious doubts about Cherokee loyalty. In 1750 the Third Chickasaw alliance succeeded in defeating the French-allied Choctaw. This was a major war between Cherokees and Creeks. The Creeks were finally driven from Little Cedar Mountain area. Atakullakulla led war parties against the French & their Native allies, including the Shawnee, in the Ohio Valley. As a 12-year-old boy Dragging Canoe was told he couldn't go with the war party unless he could drag the fully loaded war log canoe on land into the water. His enthusiasm and successful endeavors earned him the name Dragging Canoe. Dragging Canoe survived the second devastating smallpox epidemic that took place in 1753, accounting for a total death count of nearly half of the Cherokee nation. The contest between 5 the French and British for control of a New World empire culminated in 1754, in the French and Indian War. Nancy Ward "Nanye'hi” “Wild Rose of the Cherokee” Nanye’Hi was born in 1738 in Virginia and was raised in Chote, City of Refuse, Cherokee Nation, and North Carolina. Wild Rose began life as an ordinary Cherokee Girl named "Nanye'hi' and later “Nanye’hi”the Ghi-ga-u" or Beloved Woman. She had been educated by Moravians and having white blood, believed in peaceful coexistences with White people. Nanye’Hi and Isaac Thomas were childhood friends in Virginia before being separated in the Migration of 1745. Her family migrated to Chota and she then became a mother and wife to a great Cherokee Warrior "Tsu-la Kingfisher of the Deer Clan". She was a woman of a queenly and commanding presence with a strikingly beautiful tall, erect form, prominent nose, regular and flexible features, a clear tawny complexion, long silken black hair, large piercing black eyes, and an air that was imperious and yet kindly. Pressed to acquire new land to compensate for their growing loses to white settlement, the Cherokee and Creek were forced into a war with each other. At stake was control of a hunting territory in northern Georgia, which the two tribes had formerly shared. Nanye’Hi’s life changed during a fierce battle with the Creeks in 1755 near Canton, Georgia. “Nanye’Hi” and Kingfisher fought side by side at the Battle of Taliwa against the Creeks in 1755. She was reloading Kingfisher’s guns and chewed on the musket balls to give them a sharp texture to create even more damage upon impact. When Kingfisher was killed in this battle, she took up his rifle and led the Cherokee to victory. Her husband "Kingfisher" died in battle. It was in this battle that Nanye’Hi picked-up her mortally wounded husbands rifle and fought like a warrior throughout the rest of the battle. This ended the war with the Creeks. She was renamed Nanye’Hi - The Wild Rose of the Cherokee. By common consent she became "Ghi-ga-u", or "Beloved Woman" of the Cherokees at age 18. As “Ghi-Ga-U “she was given the responsibility of mixing “The Black Drink” a ceremonial drink taken by the warriors the night before battle. This lifetime distinction was only granted as an extreme honor of valorous merit and carried with it the right to speak, vote, and act in all peace and war councils of the Cherokees. It also vested her with supreme pardoning power of the tribe, a prerogative that was not granted to any other, not even the powerful Peace and War Chiefs. By the wave of a “swan’s wing” she could deliver a condemned prisoner his life. Although the Cherokee signed a treaty in 1754 confirming their alliance and allowing the construction of British forts in their territory to defend the colonies, the lingering suspicion remained they were sympathetic to the French. The Cherokee asked the English to build a fort in 1754, because of the threat of the French against the Cherokee.

  • The Biomolecular Archaeology of the Black Drink: Alkaloid Residue Analysis of Ilex Vomitoria on Experimental Vessels and Applications for Prehistoric Specimens
    The Biomolecular Archaeology of the Black Drink: Alkaloid Residue Analysis of Ilex vomitoria on Experimental Vessels and Applications for Prehistoric Specimens Paper presented at the 2011 Southeastern Archaeological Conference, Jacksonville, Florida Shannon Tushingham1*, Matthew Palumbo2, Charles H. McNutt3, and Ulla Anderson4 1Department of Anthropology, Washington State University’ 2Department of Biology, University of Florida; 3Department of Anthropology, University of Memphis; 4Department of Chemistry, UC Berkeley; *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Early historic accounts document widespread use of a purgative known as “the black drink”, a caffeinated ceremonial tea famous for its use in purification rituals by elite males. The beverage was prepared from roasted leaves and twigs of yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria), an evergreen shrub native to the southeastern coastal plain. Prehistoric use is poorly understood but often associated with shell cups found in mortuary contexts and the SECC. Our work, designed to track ancient use of psychoactive plants via Gas Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry, includes identification of medicinal tea biomarkers, experimentation with brewing black drink, and residue extraction from pottery/shell specimens. Sampling included preparing and extracting a range of experimental vessels which served different functions in black drink cooking and consumption (cooking vessels, clay and shell cups), with extractions taken directly from the vessels and from tea residue on vessel interiors. Our findings suggest that chemical changes occur through the cooking process, but the presence of the biomarker caffeine remains stable and correlated the experimental vessels to the Ilex vomitoria plant in all but one case. We also describe the non‐destructive method we developed where alkaloid residues can be extracted directly from the matrix of prehistoric shell cups and pottery vessels through a sonication process.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J
    Informing Science InSITE - “Where Parallels Intersect” June 2003 Bridging the Digital Divide in Rural Appalachia: Internet Usage in the Mountains Jacob J. Podber, Ph.D. Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL, USA [email protected] Abstract This project looks at Internet usage within the Melungeon community of Appalachia. Although much has been written on the coal mining communities of Appalachia and on ethnicity within the region, there has been little written on electronic media usage by Appalachian communities, most notably the Melun- geons. The Melungeons are a group who settled in the Appalachian Mountains as early as 1492, of apparent Mediterranean descent. Considered by some to be tri-racial isolates, to a certain extent, Melungeons have been culturally constructed, and largely self-identified. According to the founder of a popular Me- lungeon Web site, the Internet has proven an effective tool in uncovering some of the mysteries and folklore surrounding the Melungeon community. This Web site receives more than 21,000 hits a month from Melungeons or others interested in the group. The Melungeon community, triggered by recent books, films, and video documentaries, has begun to use the Internet to trace their genealogy. Through the use of oral history interviews, this study examines how Melungeons in Appalachia use the Internet to connect to others within their community and to the world at large. Keywords : Internet, media, digital divide, Appalachia, rural, oral history, ethnography, sociology, com- munity Introduction In Rod Carveth and Susan Kretchmer’s paper “The Digital Divide in Western Europe,” (presented at the 2002 International Summer Conference on Communication and Technology) the authors examined how age, income and gender were predictors of the digital divide in Western Europe.
