Help[Facts] Re: cherokee name
in reply to a message by Robyn0324
My last name is Hutchcraft and I believe Wacababa was a grandmother of mine. If I remember correctly her surname was Rhodes. They migrated from either NC or VA through KY and IN where they settled in Southern IL in Williamson and Franklin Co (Benton and West Frankfort). I am thinking she is the same one.
What is the dowes Rolls?
I think she was born in the 1820’s.
I’m curious what her name meant?
My aunts would joke as to not let my grandfather and uncles go out and drink. The firewater stirs up their “Injun” blood and they get mean and wild. That’s where the Indian heritage comes from.
I only went as far back as the 1780’s. Thomas Hutchcraft served in Revolutionary War. The Hutchcrafts were probably English subjects and most likely indentured servants to work off their debt in the Colonies.
