A.J. Taylor, Ordinary

From the book 'CHEROKEE PLANTERS IN GEORGIA, 1832-1838

Long before the goldrush years, several white men had taken Cherokee mixed-bloods for their spouses, built homes in the fertile valleys, and cleared farmland in the county. Notable among this class of Indian countrymen, recognized as leading planters, of the period were Lewis Ralston, SILAS PALMOUR, Daniel Davis, John Satterfield, and James Landrum. Silas Palmour (1797-1878), a white man at the Big Savannah, was a citizen of the Cherokee Nation by right of his marriage to Sarah Dougherty, a mixed-blood daughter of James Dougherty, Jr. and Mary Dean. His extensive improvements on the river were assessed at $2,786. These included 16 acres of upland (well improved), 81 acres of river bottomland ($11 per acre), a hewed log house, a grist and saw mill (800), one other house (unfishised when he lost the land), one-half of a thrashing machine, and 249 rods of ditching. He also claimed damages for dispossession of 25 acres of bottomland for three years. A. Palmour (probably) Aaron his brother) attested to the fact that he had taken possession of about 25 acres of the first rate river bottom land on the Hightower (Etawah) at the big Savannah.....being part of the improvements made by Silas Palmour, an Indian countryman, the law restricted him to 160 acres.

Marriage Notes for SILAS PALMOUR and SARAH DOUGHERTY:
The following Story of the Dougherty Family was
written by Benjamin F. Palmour, October 3, 1922.

Somewhere about 1776 or a little later the Cherokees, or a part of them, joined the King of England and scouted' along the border of the white settlement of the northeastern part of Georgia. They captured three girls, and brought them across the Indian and white line as prisoners.

James Dougherty, Sr. (a Cherokee happened to meet with the squad that held the three girls. Jimmy took a liking for one of them and proposed to buy her for his squaw, so it goes, that he made the purchase for a consideration of thirty broaches. (I suppose the broaches were an ornament in fashion at that age; here you will have to guess.)

Peace had been made between the Indians and the white people and Jimmy's squaw (white girl) wanted to go see her people over on the other side of the river which made the line between White and Indian. In his confidence of her, he carried her and little Jimmy (5 years old) and put them over the river. They were to meet him back at the river and return home on a set time of a certain moon. Jimmy, Indian like, went at the appointed time to meet her and little Jimmy. He stayed and wandered about there casting a wistful eye over the river, probably until his grub ran out. Anyway it goes, he lost confidence and declared whites no good, and went back to his stomping grounds. He made friends of a full blood Cherokee and raised two daughters. One of the daughters married an Indian by the name of Downing and they came to the West.

In 1868 one of the Downing sons was elected chief of the Cherokees and was serving as chief when I came here in 1870. I talked with him in December 1870. He recognized us as being akin through the Dougherty family. He was acquainted with the rolls of 1852 and showed that we drew money the 13th of December 1852. Now I go back to little Jimmy, five years old going with his mother to see her white side of the family. She went and never returned, putting her five year old Jimmy Dougherty in school. After Jimmy passed his seventeenth year he began to think of what a free time he and his little Indian playmates had in the Indian county. He ran away and went back to his father's people, and so far as was known was the first educated Cherokee in the tribe. It was said' that the other Indians looked upon him with mistrust. (Too much like white man.) Later on he went back to white country and took one of his school mates as a wife. Her name was Elizabeth Dean and they came to the Etowah River. (Now in the county of Dawson-state of Georgia.) Silas Palmour told me that his father-in-law said he had lived there 25 years when he came in 1825 or 26. Silas Palmour married Sarah Dougherty the 5th of Jan. 1827. John D. Palmour (their son) was born October 6, 1827
