George James

Date of birth of 1767 is just a guess

People Mentioned in the Writings of Benjamin Hawkins 1796-1816 James, Benjamin - an inhabitant of the Choctaws who left "that nation the 28 May [1797]. He has three sons, halfbreed, men grown; one a man of some learning, the other capable of managing his commerical concerns, and all of them, in a situation to know the temper and disposition of the nation, as well as the intrigues . . . [of] the Spaniards." 1797.

this is from genealogybank.com General view. Communicated to the House of Representatives on the 7th, and to the Senate on the 21st November, 1792. Date: Wednesday, November 21, 1792 Publication: American State Papers 07, Indian Affairs Vol. 1; Report: Publication No. 29; Page 284 and 285 Conference Ground, near Nashville, Tuesday, August 7, 1792 George James, son of Ben is listed as a small medal chief (Chickasaws) [Note: In this same book is a letter written by Ben James to Gov. Blount]

So it appears from the above that George James is definitely a son of Benjamin James. But then why wasn't he mentioned in his father's will?
