  1.   "She was a daughter of Chief Cornstalk and took the surname Skaggs in honor of William Skaggs who led an expedition with Hezekiah Whitt. So the younger Hezekiah was a nephew of Rachel and named after Rachel's husband." ~October 16, 2008 J Red Wolf [Note: This is probably Person:William Skaggs (7) because William Skaggs (7) served with Thomas Mastin and Hezekiah Whitt. user:cthrnvl ]

  5.   Hezekiah WHITT of Tazewell County Virginia was the son of Richard WHITT and Susannah SKAGGS. Hezekiah WHITT married Rachel UNKNOWN. A newspaper article in Grundy County MO on Shone WHITT HARRISON, granddaughter of Hezekiah and Rachel, states that Shone was 1/2/ Cherokee. Does anyone have knowledge as to who Rachel is? I have been told she was a SKAGGS, but I have seen no proof of this.

  6.   "Find the Greenbrier, not the place, but the woman. She was a daughter of Chief Cornstalk. Much older than her sister Rachel. Once you find Greenbrier and Reuben Kinnison, you find Rachel again. Greenbrier names Rachel Whitt as her sister. Look for them with William Parrish and his wife Elizabeth Kinnison. Elizabeth was daughter to Greenbrier and Reuben." October 21, 2008 J Red Wolf
  7.   "You will find no birth record nor a baptismal record, not a christening, nor any other for this Rachel Skaggs as a daughter of or other blood relation to any Skaggs family. Be aware that she was not of the Skaggs blood, instead, a Shawano. A Cherokee by the tradition of carrying her mother’s clan, but Shawano by the blood of her father. You can only find her “name change” on record, a legal change from her Indian name to Rachel Skaggs. This will give proof to you of her relation to the Cornstalks. Look for her in Montgomery County. She was NOT a Skaggs, keep this in mind." October 20, 2008 J Red Wolf Genforum post
