William Sizemore was part of the first colony town of Jamestown, and was one of only two men to survive the Indian massacre. He owned quite a bit of land in Virginia, which he sold and removed to Kentucky. &nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp; William Sizemore born 1671 Henrico Co., Virginia married about 1705 Mary Owen, their son William Sizemore b/a 1706 married Hart Jackson, a member of the eastern tribe of Cherokee Indians, in Hanover, Virginia. Their son Edward (Ned) Sizemore b/a 1726 Hanover, Virginia married Elizabeth Jackson, daughter of William Jackson and Dorcus Green, both parents being part Cherokee Indian. Their son George Sizemore b/a 1750 Lunenburg, VA died c1820 NC married 1770 Ashe Co., NC Anna Hart, who was also part Cherokee. Their son Edward B. Sizemore b. 1788 Logan, VA died 1866 Wyoming Co., WV married about 1804 Ashe, NC Annie B. Baldwin born 1786 Logan, VA died about 1850 Wyoming Co., WV daughter of John Baldwin and Virginia (Jenny) born about 1740 Logan, VA, she was also part Cherokee. Their son John Sizemore born 1810 Ashe, NC d. 2/27/1853 Wyoming Co., WV married Jane (Jennie) Arms b. 1807 Ashe, NC died Wyoming Co., WV, they married on 4 Dec. 4, 1831, Jennie is believed to be part Cherokee as well. &nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp; John Sizemore and Jennie had Anna (Annie) Caroline Sizemore b. 1837 Wyoming Co., WV married George Buchanan May 14, 1855 Wyoming Co., WV. Children: Isabell Katherine, Arthur, Henriette Elizabeth, John, Greenberry, Edward, William Henry, May Louise, George Hargrave, Boyd Sizemore. Isabell Katherine Buchanan b. 1857 Wyoming Co., WV married Bird Hall b. 1847 Floyd Co., VA married September 25, 1879 Wyoming Co., WV Children: Charles Edward, Burch, Cora, Stella, Pinkard/ Pinckney and Anna (Annie). &nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp; George Sizemore who married Elizabeth Hart was a first cousin to George &ldquo;Of All&rdquo; Sizemore who married Agnes (Aggie) Sheppard. Their marriage originated from a raid of Indians on the white mans camp where they captured a white girl. In retaliation, the white men followed and rescued the girl and captured an Indian girl who was later given to a white family to raise (Cornett&rsquo;s), Aggie is thought to have been a Creek Indian. George &ldquo;Of All&rdquo; undoubtedly lived in both the white man&rsquo;s world, and the with the Whitetop Cherokee tribe throughout his life, which only naturally led to his marriage to Aggie.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp; Their son George &ldquo;Goldenhawk&rdquo; Sizemore fathered close to 50 children, census records show Goldenhawk at one time supporting four different families with 7 to 10 children in each of them. In 1860, he was indicted for bigamy in Floyd Co., Kentucky, and according to minutes from the hearing, the judge said, &ldquo;Mr. Sizemore, I understand you have about 50 children, to which Goldenhawk replied, &ldquo;I guess you&rsquo;re right. But, judge, if I&rsquo;d been half as pretty a man as you are, I&rsquo;d had more than that.&rdquo; There are no known portraits of Goldenhawk, but he was said to be one of the ugliest men that ever was, puzzling his descendants, leading them to believe he had more attractive qualities than good looks.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp; Sister to George &ldquo;of All&rdquo; Sizemore, Rhoda Sizemore had two sons by Chief Red Bird of the Whitetop Laurel Band of Cherokee Indians, he was murdered by trapper&rsquo;s shortly after fathering their last son. Both son&rsquo;s were given the Sizemore name. The fact that Rhoda married into the Whitetop Laurel Band leads me to believe that Hart Jackson was also a member of this same band. It is said that Edward Sizemore who married Elizabeth Jackson was for a short time prior to his death, Chief of this same band. &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;Members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians of North Carolina and their descendants are eligible for enrollment with the Cherokee Band; contact the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Eastern Band of the Cherokee live on the Qualla Boundary, a land area comprised of 56,572 acres directly adjacent to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The more than 10,000 members of the Eastern Band are descendants of those Cherokee who, in the late 1830s, remained in the mountains of North Carolina rather than be forced to march along the infamous "Trail of Tears" to Oklahoma.&nbsp;<br><br>&nbsp; Today, the Eastern Band of the Cherokee is the only tribe of North Carolina&rsquo;s six recognized tribes which possesses both state and federal recognition, lives on a reservation and is served by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the US Department of the Interior, the Indian Health Service and the federal departments of Labor, Commerce, and Health and Human Services. The North Caroline Commission of Indian Affairs subcontracts Community Action Partnership Program (CAPP) funding to the Eastern Band of the Cherokee each year.</p></line></content></metadataxml>
