Frances,

Interesting note on TALLY and being Indian.

My g-gdft John Henry SHOKES was marred to Matilda HARRISON
who was part Native American. I've had a difficult time
tracing her roots. But her family seems to come from the
Colleton Co area where a small band of Native Americans
lived along the Edistio River.

Another name that ties into my lines is PENDARVIS which also
has mixed blood.

Possibilities for my Wm Talley Shokes Jones counld be
adoption.

There was one SHOKES family in the Summerville area that
lost many of the members during a New Years Eve fire (in the
1800s - going by memory).

And it's not all that unusual for a person to have more than
one middle name.

Will have to do more research on TALLEY/TALLY.

Thanks for responding,
Janet Nielson Jilote
Chas, SC

PS: don't be so quick to discard a  McCOWN and McKEWAN
connection. I've seen it all too often...  people boast,
"We've always spelled our name that way!"

Your family may have, but record keepers may not have.

 I'm sure you've investigated McCOWANs, right?

Well, 'member u's look'n in da South!

Happy Hunting! ~ Y'all

Hi I am researching McCown's not McKewn's but I had to butt
in if you don't
mind. Had friends in Austin  Texas many years ago and the
surname was Tally
and they were Indian; he was Cherokee, very much Cherokee,
not just a
little. frances
