Edward "Old Ned" Sizemore

Notes:

Edward Sizemore was born in NC, probably about 1725 and died in NC about 1780.

Edward has long been believed to have been a Cherokee Indian, but several researchers disagree and cite the fact that although about 2,000 Sizemore descendants have filed claims for Government compensation for lost Cherokee land, not a single claim has been allowed. Ron Blevins and Frank Sizemore believe that the first Indian in the family was the wife of Edward Sizemore and that her name was Aruna Hart.

AMERICANS ARRIVING in SPANISH-HELD NATCHEZ 1788-1790

*These reports were written by a Spanish officer, Carlos de Grand Pre to Governor Estevan Miro; therefore many of the names are in SPANISH or a PHONETIC attempt to convert the name to Spanish. Some are in English. The term "settler" means those with intent to settle the district. In 1788, a royal order encouraged American immigration and trade, and colonist began arriving in larger numbers than ever before. Few of these arrived via the land route, however; most arrived on flatboats, coming down the Mississippi. The majority came from Kentucky. Many settled in what would become Adams, Amite, Claiborne, Franklin, Jefferson and Wilkinson counties. List taken from records in the MS Dept. of Archives and History, Jackson MS.
