    Classification: Query

    There is a John Shewmaker who was born abt 1765 in Albermarle (now Amherst) co in Va, and moved to Ky around 1787, perhaps to Mercer Co. He married Nancy Peter, and they moved to the Willisburg area of Washington Co., where he died in 1811. They have numerous Shewmaker descendants in the area. Some reverted to Shoemaker, and then back to Shewmaker. Another line of Shewmakers moved to Missouri.

    I think John was the son of William Shoemaker, who was son of John Shoemaker, both born in Virginia. John Sr. was the son of John Shoemaker, born in England, and arrived in Henrico Co., Va abt 1652.

    Information on William and his descendants is from: Rhoades, Clara Lee Shewmaker. 1975. Ancestors and Heirs of the Elizabeth Catharine Davenport, S.T. "Doc" Shewmaker, and Elizabeth Corn Family of Mercer County and Washington County, Kentucky. Britton's Printing Service, Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

  3. 18.  Samuel King Burks was born in 1680 in , Hanover, Virginia, USA (son of John Joseph Burkes and Mary Partree Peartree); died on 12 Feb 1756 in Saint Annes Parish, Albemarle, Virginia, USA.

    Samuel married Mary Elizabeth Davis in 1703 in , Hanover, Virginia, USA. Mary (daughter of Nathaniel Davis and Mary Elizabeth Hughes) was born on 16 May 1682 in Haven Hill, Albemarle, Virginia, USA; died on 2 Feb 1756 in , Albemarle, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 19.  Mary Elizabeth Davis was born on 16 May 1682 in Haven Hill, Albemarle, Virginia, USA (daughter of Nathaniel Davis and Mary Elizabeth Hughes); died on 2 Feb 1756 in , Albemarle, Virginia, USA.

    Notes:

    Samuel Burk (b. 1680) m. Mary Davis (b. 1685), daughter of NathanielDavis.
    (It is at this point that Indian blood enters the Burks family), as Nathaniel's wife was Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of a member of a colonial family and a Trader named Hughes and his Indian wife, Niketti, whose mother was Cleopatra, sister to Pocahontas. Or so it has been recorded in several genealogies. The Indian name Niketti translates as "She who sweeps the dew from the flowers."

    Documentation for the the Burks/Davis genealogy of Nicketti is given by Frank Wellington's daughter, Mary Wheat Burks Dean (819 Peaksview, Bedford, VA 24523, April 15, 1980). She is the researcher of this Burks genealogy, which was begun by her mother. It is supplemented by information from Faye S. Poss, 471 Mimosa Drive NW., Tucker, GA 30084. Faye Poss is researching the Burks who migrated to GA.

    There is positive and indisputable proof that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra. This proof was located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years. During the period covered by the fragment, matters became so bad between the Whites and the Indians that Opechancanough , Chief of the Powhatans, was induced to agree upon a line being established which neither White nor Indian, excepting truce bearers, should cross under penalty of being shot on sight. To insure strict obedience to the compact, a law was passed at Jamestown imposing a heavy penalty on any people crossing the line without a special permit from the Commissioners Council and the General Court. This accounts for the item alluded to, which is given verbatim. It reads:


    "Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolfe petitions the governor to let him see Opechankeno to whom he is allied, and Cleopatra, his mother's sister."The record of the General Court was evidently intended to be a verbatim
    copy though they differ in phraseology and spelling:


    "Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolph petitions Gov. to let him go see Opechanko, to whom he is allied, and Cleopatre, his mother's sister."

    Thomas Rolfe was the son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, and Cleopatra was unquestionably not his aunts Indian name. It is, however, the only name that has been passed to us historically, and we must accept it. One wonders if her name was not "Matachanna", the aunt-nurse associated with his mother in Thomas Rolfes earliest memories

    "Chief Powhaton had a niece Princess Nicketti. Her granddaughter, Mary Davis, married Samuel Burks, who came from England to New Kent Co., Va. Their daughter Elizabeth Burks married Dr. William Cabell in 1726. The sons of Samuel Burks were John P. Burks and Richard Burks who married Fannie Horsley in 1739."

    "I can not vouch for it but will give it as I find it in the Floyd tradition. Opechancanough, the celebrated chief of the Powhatans, *** left a lovely young daughter, the child of his old age, the Princess Nicketti, -- 'she who sweeps the dew from the flowers.' Some years after this graceful Indian maiden had reached the years of mature womanhood, a member (the name is not given) of one of the cavalier families of Virginia fell in love with her and she with him, and the result was a clandestine marriage, and a half-breed Indian girl, who married about the year 1680 a Welshman (others say a native of Devonshire, England), named Nathaniel Davis, an Indian trader, and according to some accounts a Quaker; and from this alliance many notable people in the East and in the West have descended. Their daughter, Mary Davis, born about 1685, married Samuel Burks, of Hanover (the ancestor of the Burks family of Virginia), and their daughter, Elizabeth Burks, married Captain William Cabell, the ancestor of the Cabells.
    "Martha Davis, senior, a son (the ancestor of the 'black Davises' of Kentucky and from whom Jefferson Davis descended), had a daughter, Abadiah (or Abigail) Davis, who married William Floyd, the ancestor of the Floyds of Virginia and of the West.
    "A daughter or granddaughter of the Quaker married General Evan Shelby, of Maryland, the ancestor of the Shelbys of the West.
    "Samuel and Philip Davis, of the Blue Mountains, were sons, and there may have been other sons and daughters.
    "William Floyd left the eastern shore of Virginia, went up the country as far as the present Amherst County, which was then a very wild region, where he met with this family of Davises, who had traded with the Indians and gotten much property this way. (the Quakers were much given to friendly trading with the Indians.)
    "William Floyd and his wife's brother, Robert Davis, junior, with their families emigrated to Kentucky with the first settlers, and finally located in the Bear-grass region near Louisville, where the kinsmen (Floyds and Davises) had a fort, called Floyd's Station.
    * * * * * * *
    "The Princess Nicketti's name has not been popular among her traditional descendents (it may be because the marriage was clandestine). The first Governor John Floyd named one of his daughters for her. I know no other namesake, but if tradition is true, no more lovely woman ever 'swept the dew from the flowers'."

    Notes:

    1. John 'Col.' LINDSEY born 1-Jan-1725, West Chester PA, married Alce CROSSON,
    born abt 1700, (daughter of Thomas CROSSON and Wife of Thomas CROSSON) died
    after 1787.John died 1-Jan-1787, Newberry Co., SC.'Legacy of Our Lindsey's',
    1993, by William Lindsey McDonald, Mitchell Printing Company, Florence AL, shows
    John Lindsey having Frederick Co., VA roots.Another researcher has shown John
    to have been born in West Chester, PA and came to South Carolina with the Wilson
    and Dugan families who had also lived in the Paxtang area, now Harrisburg, in
    PA.

    1741 he was a Sergeant on board a hospital ship. (Clark, June, Colonial Soldiers
    of the South 1732-1774.)

    It is thought by some researchers that he traveled with the Calhoun party, which
    included Wilson and Dugan familes, from PA to SC with a stay in VA of almost one
    year between 1750 and 1756.

    1742 Oct. 25 John is listed as a Corporal at Dorchester.

    1750 John Lindsey is listed as a landowner in Frederick Co., VA.

    1758 Sept. 1, he is mentioned in a letter written to Col. George Washington by
    George William Farifax.This was 3 years after Gen. Braddock's defeat.
    Washington had recently resinged from the VA militia and was living at Mt.
    Vernon.At the time the letter was written, Brig. Gen. John Forbes was heading
    west from Philadelphia with the objective of capturing Fort Duquesne at the
    forks of the Ohio.Forbes' plans were to cut a new road through the mountains,
    near the Lindsey farm in Frederick Co., VA at the instance of Col. Washington.

    1767 Jan. 29, Virginia Gazette, no. 819 page 1, a John Lindsey appear on a list
    of letter in the post office at Fredericksburg, VA.

    1769 he migrated to Newberry Co., SC.Col. Lindsey owned a farm in the Long
    Lane settlement of Newberry Co.,Historian John Belton O'Neall in his book
    'Annals of Newberry Distict' SC' reported that Col. Lindsey was 'a thorough
    Whig'.The Col. would have been in advanced years during the American
    Revolution.His military rank was from service in the Colonial Militia before
    the war.Four of his sons were officers during the Revolutionary war, and son
    in law Jarrad Smith held the rank of Brigadier General.

    Although he may not have served during the Revolution, he is cited as giving
    patriotic service.Others have written that he was a Colonel during the war.

    However, in a pension application, a Clement Davis noted he enlisted in 1775 in
    Newberry District SC under Capt. Charles Kings and Col. John Lindsey and was in
    the battles with the Cherokees, and The Siege of Augusta.

    1783 wrote his last will and testament.

    He and Alce had at least 8 children.

    1786 John Lindsey is listed as Justice of the Peace in Newberry SC.

    1786 Newberry Co. court minutes show a number of entries for John Lindsey. June
    court he is an umpire.Also in June an indenture of lease and release from
    Charles King and wife to John is ordered to be recorded.Also and indenture of
    lease and release from John Lindsey to Edward Finch Esq. is ackknowledged to be
    his act and deed, ordered to be recorded.

    1787 Col. Lindsey's name appears on a list of 'Estrays' in Newberry Co SC, along
    with Samuel Lindsey, and William Lyles among others. This is some sort of list
    of horses and cattle.
