Cheepoake married William Terriy or Terry, a fur trader, in NC. Their known children were Isabell & Esther, & possibly Jasper, Miles & William. Isabell & Esther both married men surname Burris.

Cheepoake was a member of the Cheraw tribe, often written as Saraw or Saura in early VA & NC records. SC records in 1738 list John Harris as the King of the Cheraw. He could have been a relative of Cheepoake Harris.

William Terry & Cheepoake Harris have many descendants who have tried to get more information about them, but we have found nothing further.

The Cheraw name is preserved today in the Sauratown Mountains of Stokes County, NC and the SC town of Cheraw.

CHEEPOAKE/CHIPPOKES

In Surry Co., VA on the James River is Chippokes Plantation Park. Capt. William Powell, a prominent colonial gentleman, received a grant for 550 acres of river frontage on Chippokes Creek in 1619. Named Chippokes Plantation, it and the bordering creek were named for an Indian chief who befriended the early English settlers. Under the ownership of Colonel Henry Bishop in 1646, the plantation was expanded to its present boundaries encompassing 1,403 acres.
