Notes for HARDEMAN "HARDY" CREWS:

"The following is a transcript of information on the Hubbard's, Crews and Doochees who lived in the adjacent counties of Person Co, NC and Mecklenberg Co., Va obtained from the Friends Historical Collection at Hege Library, Guilford College, Greensboro, NC. There is no indication when this was written or by whom, but parts must have been written by children of the people described, as the details are too exact. Other parts must have been written after the Trail of Tears because of the reference to "applying for Cherokee nation membership rights". Other parts are certainly written as late as 1920 because of the reference to 150 yrs of connections between the Hubbard's and Meredith's. No attempt has been made to edit or change the original text.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENEALOGY OF THE HUBBARD FAMILY WITH A BRIEF HISTORY OF ITS CONNECTION WITH THE CHEROKEE INDIANS

According to the best information to be had in regard to the ancestors of the Hubbard family as obtained from records, history, traditions and aged persons, about the year 1740 there dwelt near the banks of the Keehukee Creek in the British province of North Carolina a Cherokee Indian by the white name of Goochee, but in the Cherokee language as Doochee.

[Kehukee Swamp rises in eastern Halifax Co. and flows SW into Roanoke River. Appears as Kehukee Creek on the Collet Map, 1770. Source: Powell, Wm S. "The North Carolina Gazeteer." 1968, pp.261-76]

In the year 1729 North and South Carolina were made separate and distinct provinces. The original Cherokee Indians, however, were the almost sole occupants of all the central and a greater part of the Eastern portions of the North Carolina Province. Soon the Whites, who had gained a foothold on the Eastern coast of North Carolina began to penetrate these hitherto sacred hunting grounds of the Indians. Among these adventurous pioneers was a white man, an Irishman, named Hardy Crews, hardy he was by name and hardy by nature. In what is now known as Person County he halted and permanently located. Finding very few white settlers, and especially of the female sex, he chose for a life companion a beautiful Cherokee maiden, a dark-haired daughter of the Doochees. A generous welcome seems to have been extended to this happy couple by the Indians. In due course of time two daughters were born to them named Ann and Mary Crews. These English names as well as an English education were !
bestowed upon these promising children. Ann Crews, having grown to womanhood, her mind enlightened and cultured with such an education as that frontier life and early period would allow, was tall, graceful and slender; features regular and beautiful; in manners gentle and modest, quiet and unassuming, yet in disposition and character firm and very determined in purpose. While attending school in Mecklenburg County, she formed an acquaintance of a young white man, Joseph Hubbard, a sedate Quaker. That acquaintance ripened into an affection that resulted in their marriage about the year 1770. Thus it is clearly seen by the marriage of the full blood Cherokee Doochee mother to the white man, Hardy Crews, and the subsequent marriage of the half blood daughter Ann Crews to Joseph Hubbard, another White man, that by the faithful observance of the sacred marriage obligations which bound these devoted women solemnly to their devoted husbands, lost them and their descendents to their!
identity as members of the Cherokee Nation of people, but not their rights as such when properly applied for.

Not much is known of Joseph Hubbard's ancestors. The best information is, they were English Quakers who came over to this country in 1681 with William Penn when the settlement was made in Philadelphia and from there they emigrated to and settled in the County of Mecklenberg, Virginia, and in the adjoining counties of North Carolina. Dr. Benjamin Franklin in his autobiography gives a concise account of the colony of Pennsylvania [sic:Pennsylvanians] who emigrated to Virginia and North Carolina in 1729, and among other things he had to say in regard thereto, speaks particularly of the Meredith's, one of whom married Mary Crews. He mentions Hugh Merideth, who was his partner for some time in the printing business in the City of Philadelphia. It seems that the Hubbard's and Meredith's have been in close connection for over one hundred and fifty years and that their Indian blood runs back to the same Cherokee stock of starting point the Doochees.

Joseph Hubbard was born in Mecklenberg County, Virginia, and after his marriage to Ann Crews still lived there, where several of his children were born. He afterwards moved over into Person County, North Carolina, where he lived until after the death of his first wife in 1812, he then moved to Guilford County, North Carolina. Joseph Hubbard and Ann Crews had eight children, viz. Hardy; Jeremiah; Joseph; Woodson; Jacob; Ann; Susana and Rhoda. After his removal to Guilford County, he married a white woman named, Axsah [Achsah] Coffin by whom he had two sons, viz., John R. and Samuel N. Hubbard. He lived to be upwards of ninety years old, died and was buried in the graveyard at New Garden Meeting House, North Carolina.

The five Hubbard boys were noted for their large size, fine personal appearance, none of them being less than six feet tall. They were generally known as the "Big Cherokee Boys". They were trained by their Quaker parents to practice the principles of peace and friendship, but woe to the boy or man who with sneers and insults taunted them with their 'Cherokee blood'. Of all the brothers, Jeremiah was the best known and portrayed in his features and general appearance his Indian descent. He was tall, erect and straight as an arrow, being six feet two or three inches in height.

He had a dark swarthy complexion, keen black eyes, high cheek bones, hair straight and black as coal, a large mouth with firm lips and his front teeth were long and slightly curved inward. He was a distinguished and influential minister in the Society of Friends of Quakers. He was a fluent and eloquent speaker and a natural born orator. His voice was strong and musical and he seemed to sway his hearers at will. He was generous, unselfish and hospitable and his 'Red Brothers', the Cherokees, as they traveled through his section, which they often did, always made a stopping place at his plain and unpretentious home hailing him as a friend and brother and claiming him as one of their own people.

Notes for PHOEBE DOOCHEE/GOOCHEE:
As mentioned therein I like to refer to the Goochee family name as Doochee as per what the earliest source story indicates was the more accurate Cherokee pronunciation. However there has to be speculation about the source of the name. Refer to my attachments. One of my photocopy documents from Hege library for instance refers to, "Phebe Goochee (AKA Dutch)". We could speculate that there was an extended family relationship between the Crews, the Hubbards, and the Goochee/Doochees. It's entirely possible that more than one Goochee/Doochee family member married into the Hubbard family.
We do know that the tribal people couldn't mix with the Hubbard family, Re: Jeremiah, Hardy's older brother: "...the Cherokees, as they travelled through his section, which they often did, always made a
stopping place at his plain and unpretentious home hailing him as a friend and brother and claiming him as one of their own people."

We could speculate as well that the Goochee/Doochees were actually a subtribe of the Cherokee that had taken on the descriptor "Dutch" to distinguish themselves from other
subgroups. As long as we remember what is speculation and what is fact, we'll be fine. The problem is that there is already a lot of misinformation out there, expecially in the Crews family records, as there were Crews people who were trying to prove membership in the Eastern Cherokee nation in order to get land rights. As my postings state again and again, I've seen nothing to indicate that Hardy Crews and Phoebe Goochee/Doochee had any male offspring. So the Crews family can't link themselves back
to our Phoebe Crews.

iii. ANN HUBBARD.
iv. SUSANA HUBBARD.
v. JEREMIAH HUBBARD, b. February 13, 1777, Mecklenburg Co., VA.

Notes for JEREMIAH HUBBARD:
"3297 Jeremiah Hubbard,
Rejected. Claims through Phoebe Crews. Report following:
Report as to application of Jeremiah Hubbard #3297, and other
applicants claiming through Phoebe Goochee, or Dutch, wife of Hardy
Crews, and her daughters Ann Crews, wife of Joseph Hubbard, and Mary
Crews wife of Hugh Meredith.
More than one hundred applications have been filed based exclusively
upon the alleged Cherokee Indian blood of Phoebe Goochee, or Dutch, wife
of Hardy Crews. It appears from the applications and from the papers
filed in the case, that Phoebe Crews lived in Person County, North
Carolina, and died there prior to 1800. The date of her birth cannot be
exactly stated, but her daughter Mary was born in 1752. Her daughters
Ann and Mary both died in 1812, and Mary Crews Meredith, dying in 1823.
Their descendants have been considerably scattered, apparently some
going to Guilford County, N.C., and afterwards removing to Indiana, and
from their to Indian Territory or Oklahoma. Mary Crews Meredith
apparently lived a part of the time in Bedford County, Virginia, as her
son John was born there in 1779. Person, Stokes and Guilford counties,
North Carolina, were never within the recognized domain of the Cherokee
nation, and there were not Cherokee lands anywhere near those counties
after the year 1777. In 1835 the Cherokee domain did not extend within
200 miles of these counties. There is nothin in the case to indicate
that any of these claimants, or their ancestors back to Phoebe Crews,
have lived with any tribe of Indians after the marriage of the said
Phoebe to her white husband Hardy Crews. One of the descendants of Ann
Crews Hubbard, Caroline Newby Painter (a great-grand-daughter) was born
in Indiana as early as 1833(see application #41017), and one of the
descendants of Mary Crews Meredith (a great-grand-daughter), Ann E.
Starbuck, was born in Wayne County, Indiana, in 1829, (see application
#42866). According to all the information at hand, and the testimony
taken in the case, (see Misc. Test. Pages 2285 and 3175), these
claimants have always been recognized as white people and have not lived
among the Indians except as they have in recent years lived among the
Cherokees of Oklahoma where some members of the family have made
strenuous effort to be recognized and enrolled as Cherokee Indians.
These efforts have uniformly failed. One of these claimants, Florence A.
Mason, herself 22 years of age, files application #41041, and she is the
great-great-great-great-great-grand-daughter of the Indian ancestor,
Phoebe Dutch Crews, and she is still living in Indiana. From some of the
statements in the case it does appear that Jeremiah Hubbard, the son of
Ann Crews Hubbard, had some dealings with the Cherokee People about the
time of the treaty of 1835, and it seems probably that he was used
either as an interpreter or as an attorney in presenting the claims of
the Cherokees in Washington, but the fact also seems to be that he was
picked up by the Cherokee delegation on its way to Washington, as he at
that time lived a very long distance from the Cherokee reservation. No
one of these claimants was enrolled in 1851, not does the name of any
one of the parents appear on that roll, or on the roll of 1835. The
family was well-known and there is no possibility that they could have
been enrolled under Indian names. It is perfectly plain from the
applications and the papers filed therewith that neither these parties,
nor their ancestors, were recognized members of the Eastern Cherokee
tribe of Indians in 1835-6 or 1846. These claims are therefore all
rejected."

Here is what I have on the Crews who married into the Hubbard Quakers of
North Carolina:

In Reply to: Re: Ancestors of Jeremiah Hubbard missionary by Thomas M Hooter
of 1340

My info came in from Hege Library so here's what I know. My Sarah
Hubbard's father was Hardy Hubbard, b.23 Dec 1777 at Mecklenberg
Co., Va; (his older brother was Jeremiah,b.18 Feb, 1777) Hardy married Polly
(Mary) Wright on 2 Aug, 1798 in Person Co., NC; moved to Hancock Co.,
Indiana aft.1809. Hardy's f. was Joseph Hubbard (English Quaker ancestors
arrived in 1681 with W.Penn) Joseph was b.18 Oct 1751 in Mecklenberg
Co., Va.; m. Anna Crews in 1770; d. 17 Aug, 1832 in Guilford Co., NC. Anna
Crews was b.1747 among her mother's people, the Cherokee of Kehukee
Creek which is near Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., on the Roanoke River; d. in
1812 in Person Co., NC. Anna's parents were Hardy Crews of Ireland and
Phoebe Doochee (Cherokee pronunciation) or Goochee (white man's pron.) Phoebe
was full-blooded Cherokee and her family came from Kehukee
Creek. Doochee was either her father's name or an associated clan. I've
researched the name with Cherokee linguists to no avail. A famous Cherokee
chief of the 1800's had a similar name derived from the word for German
immigrants referred to as "Deutsch".

I believe that Catherine is not a child of Hardy and Lethe but could have come with them to Lawrence Co. about 1830.
However, I do believe that Elizabeth through Lydia (in this census above) were most likely Hardy and Lethe's children. - (rbh)
