I'm looking for information on John Hogue who came to America as an indentured servant somewhere around 1760-1774. He had daughter named Elizabeth who he supposedly sold to a Cherokee chief for a bag of gold to pay off his indenture. She would have been about 15 or 16 at the time (around 1792-93). Sounds far-fetched but the story has been in the family for generations so maybe there is some truth to it. Anyone heard rumors to that effect?

Melissa: What areas do you believe John Hogue settled in?
I don't know. If the story is true, the ancestor Elizabeth married would have been in the general area of what is now Rome, Georgia, or possibly over the border in Tennessee.
