This William Hamby is Blood Kin to me 10th gen. This man was married to American Cheorkee Indian women. and lived in that locatition for at least 30 years with the Cheorkee indians knowing of it and i think it was ok with them ..sence he wasen’t killed. for beining on there land..
the Cherokee Women he married her last name was Tiption. He was married with her befor 1783 in that locatation befor it was Tennessee back then it was the NC western line
William Hamby had a Land grant granted to him by Contional Congress
in 1783 #567 i think email me and ill find the correct number
to William Hamb they forgot the “y” on it
640 ac. decription = across line to His
i take it they ment he was all ready living there when he got the land grant for fighting in the war and serving his country .
When you marrry a indian women the Man takes the last name of the Women………that how the choerkee indians does it . But alot of English Tiptons dosent know that little peace about the Cherokee Indans \ i have all ready talked to the Cherokee indians about english tiption’s .
where there is a record of a tiption up there . like “col. john william hamp tiption” indian last name you will also find the english last name verson Col. John William Hamby if you dont find the english and indian version then there a English Tiption and not Cherokee Indian
