THE DESCENDENTS OF

"CHEROKEE TOM" AND ELIZABETH PHARISS MANTOOTH


Compiled by Brenda Sherrill Schwall (Ninth Draft, July 1997)




The Children of Cherokee Tom - Thomas Jr.

III. Thomas Mantooth, Jr (1790/1800-1835)
     m. Letitia Dillon (1790/1800-aft 1835)
     Names from suit against the heirs of Thomas Mantooth, Jr., Jefferson County, Court Records, 1836 and
     Indian Applications of Mary Griffith and Elizabeth Welch, great-granddaughters.
     1. Margaret Mantooth (May have married Henry Runnions)
        Henry did marry a Margaret Mantooth (per son Thomas' death certificate. Suit against heirs of Thomas Jr.
        listed a Margaret first.  Married Henry c. 1839 based on birth of George. Birth given as 1816-1819 and 
        1822.  Listed first in heirs of Thomas Jr., next was sister Elizabeth (1814) if  done in order of birth.
        However, usually father's mother's name was given to eldest daughter.  That would be Elizabeth.
     2. James Mantooth (1813-
       This James was placed as a son of Thomas, Jr., because both a James and a William are listed as sons of 
       Thomas Jr. in the suit against the heirs of Thomas Jr. in 1836, Jefferson County. The other James was
       born in 1817 according to the census, but knowing the accuracy of census information, either James
       could belong to Thomas or John.  The Bible birthdate given for William is 7 April 1817.  Since both 
       boys shouldn't have been born in 1817, this James (1813)  was placed in the family of Thomas, Jr.,
       and the James (1817) in the place of John (1789).  James was listed  third, after Margaret and
       Elizabeth who was born in 1814, but was already married at the time of her father's death.  Census 
       records are rarely accurate.  The other known sons were too young to have children in 1813.
