THE ENGLISH COLONIST DIDN'T TO SETTLE IN ON THE EASTERN COAST UNTIL ABOUT 1607, AROUND THE COAST, FROM MAINE TO VIRGINIA. BEFORE THE SLAVE TRADE BEGAN IN THE 1600'S, INDIANS WERE THE SLAVES, JUST LIKE THE AFRICANS THEIR NAMES AND CUSTOMS WERE TAKEN AWAY. BTW CLOMBUS DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE MAINLAND OF AMERICA HE LANDED IN THE ISLANDS
I appreciate you bearing with me. As I said, I got to this from merging “Lassiters” below, so I’m just (reflexively) cleaning up.
By “Prudence Nee” do we mean Prudence Lassiter ?
According to this source, Robert Lassiter was born in 1635 in New Kent, Nansemond, VA, and was married to Prudence of Nottoway, her father being Guy Eason and her mother being Fredia of the Cheroenhaka/Wind Clan.”
Fredia M Nee Colston shows as Fredia M (Indiana Nottoway Cherekee Tribe) Nee Colston. So that’s daughter of Robert Colston (that’s a white name?) And wife of Guy Notoway (Wilson / Eason) Nee, /Cheroenhaka?
I think I get it about “Nee” linguistically, but how is there a Catherine (Wilson)Nee / Cheroenhaka (1585 - 1618)? Was she European? Was she baptized?
Catherine (Wilson)Nee / Cheroenhaka
Are we sure the name isn’t a time traveler?
Cheroenhaka Nottoway recognize this line as it is written by the tree builders. Nottoway Tribe of Va have this person as Prudence Nee as she was referred to by them; however, she is on the roll of the other tribe of Cheroenhaka Nottoway. This is per phone calls made from friend almost finished with his degree as, Linguist, to said parties as this is his ancestor. A quick study of the name Nee is from the Cheroenhaka Language, meaning Two. It's a stem in the language page for their language.
Really appreciate this!
So to be absolutely clear, we should show Prudence Lassiter with no parents and her current names & tribal designation?
Or do we go up one more generation to the cited parents & name her accordingly?
According to this source, Robert Lassiter was born in 1635 in New Kent, Nansemond, VA, and was married to Prudence of Nottoway, her father being Guy Eason and her mother being Fredia of the Cheroenhaka/Wind Clan.”
And disconnect at Guy Nee / Cheroenhaka & remove those tribal designations?
