Origin notes

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-487738

1. There were several applications filed by descendants of this family who claimed Cherokee heritage. In Case #257, filed by the Hubbard line of her descendants, the court found that Phoebe had been a full-blooded Cherokee, and that the first generation or two of her descendants would have been accepted as Cherokees if rolls had existed then. The applications were denied on the basis of the fact that for about 100 years, the descendants had separated themselves from the Cherokees because of the privations experienced by that nation. Membership in the tribe was not based as much on blood (which was more of a European concept) as on cultural factors, especially whether the family had been part of the Cherokee community. Therefore, the Hubbard family was not entitled to benefits being offered to members of the nation unless the Cherokee Council readmitted them as members.[1][2]

2. Anyone linking to this person should carefully read Eastern Cherokee Application #3297 which clearly states that all applications claiming Cherokee ancestry through this person are rejected and why. Applications are available on line at Google Books, see Jeff Bowen, Eastern Cherokee by Blood, 1906-1910. Exerpt here.

3. There is no evidence that Nancy Ward had a sister. The Cherokee did not live in central North Carolina; Nancy Ward and her family lived in what is now Tennessee. North Carolina records place Hardy Crews junior and senior in Person, N.C. from 1777 on.

4. Tame Doe was connected as Phoebe's mother, but has been removed because Tame Doe did not exist. She was a character in a novel about Nancy Ward.

notes

From GENEALOGY OF THE HUBBARD FAMILY WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF ITS CONNECTION WITH THE CHEROKEE INDIANS

According to the best information to be had in regard to the ancestors of the Hubbard family as obtained from records, history, traditions and aged persons, about the year 1740 there dwelt near the banks of the Keehukee Creek in the British province of North Carolina a Cherokee Indian by the white name of Goochee, but in the Cherokee language as Doochee. [Kehukee Swamp rises in eastern Halifax Co. and flows SW into Roanoke River. Appears as Kehukee Creek on the Collet Map, 1770. Source: Powell, Wm S. "The North Carolina Gazetteer." 1968, pp.261-76]

In the year 1729 North and South Carolina were made separate and distinct provinces. The original Cherokee Indians, however, were the almost sole occupants of all the central and a greater part of the Eastern portions of the North Carolina Province. Soon the Whites, who had gained a foothold on the Eastern coast of North Carolina began to penetrate these hitherto sacred hunting grounds of the Indians. Among these adventurous pioneers was a white man, an Irishman, named Hardy Crews, hardy he was by name and hardy by nature. In what is now known as Person County he halted and permanently located.

Finding very few white settlers, and especially of the female sex, he chose for a life companion a beautiful Cherokee maiden, a dark-haired daughter of the Doochees. A generous welcome seems to have been extended to this happy couple by the Indians. In due course of time two daughters were born to them named Ann and Mary Crews. These English names as well as an English education were ! bestowed upon these promising children.

Ann Crews, having grown to womanhood, her mind enlightened and cultured with such an education as that frontier life and early period would allow, was tall, graceful and slender; features regular and beautiful; in manners gentle and modest, quiet and unassuming, yet in disposition and character firm and very determined in purpose. While attending school in Mecklenburg County, she formed an acquaintance of a young white man, Joseph Hubbard, a sedate Quaker. That acquaintance ripened into an affection that resulted in their marriage about the year 1770. Thus it is clearly seen by the marriage of the full blood Cherokee Doochee mother to the white man, Hardy Crews, and the subsequent marriage of the half blood daughter Ann Crews to Joseph Hubbard, another White man, that by the faithful observance of the sacred marriage obligations which bound these devoted women solemnly to their devoted husbands, lost them and their descendents to their! identity as members of the Cherokee Nation of people, but not their rights as such when properly applied for.

Notes for PHOEBE DOOCHEE/GOOCHEE:

As mentioned therein I like to refer to the Goochee family name as Doochee as per what the earliest source story indicates was the more accurate Cherokee pronunciation. However there has to be speculation about the source of the name. Refer to my attachments. One of my photocopy documents from Hege library for instance refers to, "Phebe Goochee (AKA Dutch)". We could speculate that there was an extended family relationship between the Crews, the Hubbards, and the Goochee/Doochees. It's entirely possible that more than one Goochee/Doochee family member married into the Hubbard family.

We do know that the tribal people couldn't mix with the Hubbard family, Re: Jeremiah, Hardy's older brother: "...the Cherokees, as they travelled through his section, which they often did, always made a stopping place at his plain and unpretentious home hailing him as a friend and brother and claiming him as one of their own people."

We could speculate as well that the Goochee/Doochees were actually a subtribe of the Cherokee that had taken on the descriptor "Dutch" to distinguish themselves from other subgroups. As long as we remember what is speculation and what is fact, we'll be fine. The problem is that there is already a lot of misinformation out there, expecially in the Crews family records, as there were Crews people who were trying to prove membership in the Eastern Cherokee nation in order to get land rights. As my postings state again and again, I've seen nothing to indicate that Hardy Crews and Phoebe Goochee/Doochee had any male offspring. So the Crews family can't link themselves back to our Phoebe Crews.

Notes for HARDEMAN "HARDY" CREWS:

"The following is a transcript of information on the Hubbard's, Crews and Doochees who lived in the adjacent counties of Person Co, NC and Mecklenburg Co., Va obtained from the Friends Historical Collection at Hege Library, Guilford College, Greensboro, NC. There is no indication when this was written or by whom, but parts must have been written by children of the people described, as the details are too exact. Other parts must have been written after the Trail of Tears because of the reference to "applying for Cherokee nation membership rights". Other parts are certainly written as late as 1920 because of the reference to 150 yrs of connections between the Hubbard's and Meredith's. No attempt has been made to edit or change the original text. Kevin Cosand Patton, January 1999.

Thus it is clearly seen by the marriage of the full blood Cherokee Doochee mother to the white man, Hardy Crews, and the subsequent marriage of the half blood daughter Ann Crews to Joseph Hubbard, another White man, that by the faithful observance of the sacred marriage obligations which bound these devoted women solemnly to their devoted husbands, lost them and their descendents to their! identity as members of the Cherokee Nation of people, but not their rights as such when properly applied for.

Not much is known of Joseph Hubbard's ancestors. The best information is, they were English Quakers who came over to this country in 1681 with William Penn when the settlement was made in Philadelphia and from there they emigrated to and settled in the County of Mecklenburg, Virginia, and in the adjoining counties of North Carolina. Dr. Benjamin Franklin in his autobiography gives a concise account of the colony of Pennsylvania [sic:Pennsylvanians] who emigrated to Virginia and North Carolina in 1729, and among other things he had to say in regard thereto, speaks particularly of the Meredith's, one of whom married Mary Crews. He mentions Hugh Merideth, who was his partner for some time in the printing business in the City of Philadelphia. It seems that the Hubbard's and Meredith's have been in close connection for over one hundred and fifty years and that their Indian blood runs back to the same Cherokee stock of starting point the Doochees.

Joseph Hubbard was born in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and after his marriage to Ann Crews still lived there, where several of his children were born. He afterwards moved over into Person County, North Carolina, where he lived until after the death of his first wife in 1812, he then moved to Guilford County, North Carolina. Joseph Hubbard and Ann Crews had eight children, viz. Hardy; Jeremiah; Joseph; Woodson; Jacob; Ann; Susana and Rhoda. After his removal to Guilford County, he married a white woman named, Axsah [Achsah] Coffin by whom he had two sons, viz., John R. and Samuel N. Hubbard. He lived to be upwards of ninety years old, died and was buried in the graveyard at New Garden Meeting House, North Carolina.

The five Hubbard boys were noted for their large size, fine personal appearance, none of them being less than six feet tall. They were generally known as the "Big Cherokee Boys". They were trained by their Quaker parents to practice the principles of peace and friendship, but woe to the boy or man who with sneers and insults taunted them with their 'Cherokee blood'. Of all the brothers, Jeremiah was the best known and portrayed in his features and general appearance his Indian descent. He was tall, erect and straight as an arrow, being six feet two or three inches in height.

He had a dark swarthy complexion, keen black eyes, high cheek bones, hair straight and black as coal, a large mouth with firm lips and his front teeth were long and slightly curved inward. He was a distinguished and influential minister in the Society of Friends of Quakers. He was a fluent and eloquent speaker and a natural born orator. His voice was strong and musical and he seemed to sway his hearers at will. He was generous, unselfish and hospitable and his 'Red Brothers', the Cherokees, as they traveled through his section, which they often did, always made a stopping place at his plain and unpretentious home hailing him as a friend and brother and claiming him as one of their own people.
