1566	According to Dr. James E. Caraway, a descendant, Elizabeth Caraway Smith of Craven County, Dobbs, and Wayne Counties, North Carolina had a tragic history. John Carroway(Caraway?), Aaron Smith Sr., and Aaron Smith, Jr. were officers in the Revolutionary War. On July 1, 1776, Aaron Sr., Elizabeth Carraway(Caraway) Smith, 3 or 5 younger children, and their male slaves were massacred by the Tories and Cherokee Indians at their home in the Old Ninety-nine district of South Carolina. Researcher: Mrs. Thelma Landrum discovered their deaths from old GA newspapers that proved Elizabeth, Aaron Sr., a son and a daughter were killed by Indians in SC. Four sons and a daughter escaped with their lives.	Carraway, Elizabeth (I12142)
1567	According to family stories and oral history is that Mary lived common law with a descendant of the Earl of Oxford. According to the tradition, he deserted Mary and her children during the Revolutionary War and returned to England. Because the family name of the person that held the title 'Earl of Oxford' during the mid 1700s was Harley it was assumed by many researchers that this man's name was Jacob Harley. If this is the case, her descendants through Lineberry have both Native American and European "royal" blood.	Adkins, Mary (I10028)
1568	According to Florence Kimberly Turner's book, "Gateway to the New World: A History of Princess Anne County, VA 1607-1824," (Southern Historical Press, 1984) John Carraway came to America from York as an indentured servant to Colonel John Sidney. He and his wife, Ann Foster, could neither read nor write, but over the ensuing generations his descendants acquired land and prestige and intermarried with other prominent early families. Before Ann married John Carraway, she was married to Roger Williamson (Williams). "Cavalier and Pioneers", p. 26, records a Roger Williams transported by Thomas Butler Clark and Pastor Denbie, who received 1000 acres on 11 July 1635 for transporting 18 persons. (Pat. Bk 1 Pt. 1, p. 222 by Nugent) "Early VA Immigrants" by Greer, p. 360, shows a Roger Williams and Ann Williams transported in 1635 by the above named persons. Roger Williamson died 1646-1649. VA Colonial Abstracts, by Beverley Fleet "In Sept 1637, Ann Williamson, (later the wife of John Carraway), was convcted of "saying vile things" about a man and was ordered to be "ducht"[dunked]and to ask forgiveness of the man." Source: In the History of Southern Families by John Boddie, Volume 6, Page 27 17 Nov 1666 - Ann CARRAWAY sued George FOWLER for a cow killed by his family, and FOWLER was ordered to deliver a cow and calf to Ann.

[Fleet] On Dec. 15, 1654 a petition was presented to the Lower Norfolk Court by 24 citizens praying that "some speedy Course may be taken to procure an able Minister..."(Cf Virginia Antiquities Vol 3, page 29). Among the signers were John Carraway, Richard Foster, Lancaster Lovett and Edward Cannon. Foster was Carraway's father-in-law. His grandson, also John Carraway, married Elizabeth Cannon. Lancaster Lovett was the husband of Mary Carraway, the sister of John Carraway II. 15 Dec 1662 - John CARRAWAY served on a "Church jury" which tried a Quaker couple of unlawful meeting. The couple were fined 500 lbs of tobacco.

(Most of these people settled in Lower Norfolk Co. near the Elizabeth River.) Another authority puts it at 1644: 1644 John Sydney, gent., patented 200 acres in Lower Norfolk on north side of E.

The will mentions a tract of land Moseley bought of George Kempe. John Carraway probably died by 1666 because his widow appears in a law suit that year. However his estate was ordered to be appraised by William Hancock, Arthur Moseley, Thomas V. Ivey and George Kemp in 1669. 15 Jun 1669 - William BANCOCK, Arthur MOSELLEY, Thomas V.

1595	According to James Red Wolf, she was Cherokee and died giving birth to her 4th child, leaving him to raise them. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=AHN&db=adkinsfam&id=I19526 She is a woman of mystery, speculation, and conjecture. Was her name Jane Bailey? Was she Native American or was she possibly a captive? Her date of birth is a guesstimate at best and I'm not even sure what is the original source. The consensus across the web is between 1750 and 1755. Nevertheless, she is supposed to be the mother of Thomas Bailey Christian and probably Sarah "Mountain Raven" Mastin and John Cornstalk, who died in infancy. If she was born in 1750 to 1755 she could not be the mother of Hezekiah "Low Hawk" Whitt and Rachel Skaggs. Low Hawk refers to Thomas Bailey Christian and Sarah Christian Adkins as his brother and sister in his will. This does not mean they were blood relatives, but considered themselves as brothers and sisters in being raised by Thomas Mastin. There is much discussion on the message boards about this family. Hopefully DNA studies may provide some clarity to oral history and rampant hypothesizing about her descendants. DNA has proved Thomas Bailey Christian has no Native American ancestry. See his record on this site for the proof.	Bailey, Standing Deer (I8314)
