About Chief Amatoya Moytoy, {Fictional}
FICTIONAL. The real Moytoy is here: Amouskositte Moytoy, Uku of Great Tellico
Chief Amatoya Moytoy, {Fictional}
Profession Geneatic Genealogist and professional servers such as Ancestry, took down this tree as the adopted son of Chief Moytoy gave first hand, written statement that he was adopted. There are no claimants lining up in a Pile Up or in clusters of triangulations of several pile ups or signature SNPs that can be chromosome mapped backwards to Chief Moytoy. Many have tried with ISOGG standards to signature SNPs methodology that is provided by companies such as 23andMe, etc., that give the chromosome mapping backwards as part of their services; and, none have come up with an atDna line from their Codis Agorhythmic means that hold up in court to say if some cousins triangulating to say, an indicted person, should go to jail. So, methods used to put people in jail are NOT showing that Chief Moytoy had any children. Also, beware that some have some their services as able to do geneatic geneaology when their methods are not ISOGG standard based. Let's make a point here that those who have been called "fake" profiles who have claimants in small to large numbers who can and do proove their signature SNPS as being according to ISOGG standard work, which is made public and vetted by any who would use a group chromosome browswer to replicate the work and then made public for any and all to reduplicate the research are the atDna merges that are allowed by Geni. Otherwise, there may be a disconnection without paper sourcing unless there is an atDna case to be made that is validated by professionals, professional services, or indendent community studies that are made public and replicatable.
Amatoya Moytoy of Chota (pronounced mah-tie) was a Cherokee town chief of the early eighteenth century in the area of present-day Tennessee. He held a prominent position among the Cherokee, and held the hereditary title Ama Matai (From the French matai and Cherokee ama--water), which meant "Water Conjurer."
Amatoya Moytoy. Amatoya was born in Chota, Crockett, Tennessee, United States. His occupations were Headman of Chota, Chief of all Cherokees in 1675, Full Blood Cherokee, Chief, Cherokee Chief. Amatoya Moytoy of Chota (pronounced mah-tie) was a Cherokee town chief of the early eighteenth century in the area of present-day Tennessee. He held a prominent position among the Cherokee, and held the hereditary title Ama Matai (From the French matai and Cherokee ama--water), which meant "Water Conjurer."
His father was a European, Thomas Pasmere Carpenter, who was descended from the noble Anglo-Norman family of Vicomte Guillaume de Melun le Carpentier. Thus, Moytoy's European lineage can be traced to the Frankish Duke Ansegisel of Metz Meroving, Peppin II, and Charles Martel. This ancestry also makes the Cherokee Moytoys cousins to the Carpenter Earl of Tyrconnell, and thus related to the current British royal family.
The Carpenter family of Devonshire & Plymouth England were small sailing ship owners, many of which were leased out to the East India Trading Company, an affiliation dating to the formation of that company December 31, 1600. Documented ownership of fifteen different ships owned by the Carpenter family, those of which were involved with moving furs between the Gulf Ports & Glasgow, or Dublin, and trade goods for North America. These ships usually made stops both directions at Barbados where the family had banking connections set up. These ships were small and fast, often able to make the crossing from Scotland and Ireland in less than thirty days. They were shallow draft ships, capable of handling shallow water ports with ease. The first documented trip made by Thomas Pasmere Carpenter occurred April 1640, sailing from Maryland to Barbados aboard the Hopewell, and returning on the Crispian in September 1640. He made another trip in March 1659 departing Charleston South Carolina aboard the Barbados Merchant, returning on the Concord in August 1659.
Twenty year old Thomas Pasmere Carpenter came to Jamestown, Virginia from England in 1627, living in a cave near the Shawnee. Thomas was called "Cornplanter" by the Shawnee, derived from their sign language that matched as near as possible to the work of a carpenter. He married a Shawnee woman named "Pride" and bore a son around 1635 named Trader Carpenter.
Amatoya was taught by his father to “witch” for water with a willow stick. He had become so adept at water witching that the Cherokee called him "water conjurer" or Ama Matai (Ama is Cherokee for water). Ama Matai eventually became pronounced as Amatoya. It was later shortened to “Moytoy”, so he is known as Moytoy I. He ruled the town of Chota sometime between the beginning of the eighteenth century and 1730. In 1680, Amatoya married Quatsie of Tellico. Many of their descendants went on to become prominent leaders, founding a family that effectively ruled the Cherokee for a century.
Notable members include: Moytoy I, Chief of Chota; born around 1640 and probably died in 1730; was leading chief at the time of his death Moytoy II, Emperor of the Cherokees and Chief of Great Tellico; son of Moytoy I; born around 1687; leading chief from 1730 to 1760 Moytoy III Moytoy IV, Raven of Chota Kanagatucko, Old Hop; leading chief from 1760-1761. Attacullaculla, Prince of Chota-Tanasi; born around 1708, died around 1777; leading chief from 1761 to around 1775 Oconostota, Warrior of Chota and Beloved Man of the Cherokee; born ca. 1710 and died in 1783; was war chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1775 to 1780 Nancy Ward, Beloved Woman of the Cherokee and granddaughter of Moytoy I Major Ridge, grandson of Oconostota and of Attacullaculla
General Stand Watie, great-grandson of Oconostota and of Attacullaculla
GEDCOM Note
There has been a lot of confusion about the descendants of Moytoy. I think this is because some people are not aware that there were two Chief Moytoys. The first was Chief Amatoya Moytoy of Chota, b abt 1640, who married Quatsy of Tellico (of the Wolf Clan). The second is Chief Moytoy, aka the Pigeon of Tellico, b abt 1687. The second Moytoy is believed to be either the son or grandson of Amatoya Moytoy.
It is believed that Amatoya Moytoy had 3 sons and 8 daughters. These include Chief Kanagatoga "Old Hop", Nancy Moytoy, and two daughters with unknown names. Nancy Moytoy is believed to have been the mother of Chief Attakullakulla "Little Carpenter" (father of Dragging Canoe), Killaneca the Buck, Betsy and Tame Doe. Tame Doe was the mother of Nanyi Hi (Nancy Ward), and Longfellow.
