I'm also posting to the list since there are other names.

Yes, they are indexed and I did find George Chicken in several entries in
1710-1718.
On pg. 268
 April 23, 1718 The Board sent a letter to Capt. Glover stating
"Resolved and ordered that a Quantity of dry Goods and Rum be provided and
sent up to the respective Plantations of those Persons who are to deal with
the neighbouring Indians, for Skins, Furs, &c. on Behalf of the Publick, by
Direction of this Board, viz.; Col. George Chicken, Col. John Fenwicke, Mr.
Samll. Deane, Col. Jno. Barnwell, Capt. Thomas Dymes and such Others as are
willing to undertake that Business; and that the Clerk of this Board, above
mentioned, for their better Information and Direction in Trading with the
said Indians; together with an Invoice of the Goods sent to each of them
for Sale, viz.;"

"Upon Motion made by Col. John Barnwell, that whereas Ralph Izard, Exq. had
signified to him, as well as to other Persons, that he would not any longer
act as Commissioner or Cashier for the Indian Trade, and whereas it is
absolutely requisite for the managing the said Trade, as the Act directs,
as Commissioner, in case he shall actually declare that he will not
continue therein; Col. George Chicken was proposed to succeed, and supply
the Room of Ralph Izard, Esq., as Commissioner at this Board;  Whereupon it
is resolved unanimously that (provided Ralph Izard, Esq. upon Notice given
him by this Board, shall refuse and decline acting any longer as a
