After Charles past away in 1827 his brother William Hicks became Principal Chief, which office he held until October 1828.

Elizabeth Hicks married James Vann, Richard Fields, Eliphas Holt and William Campbell.
There were possibly other brothers and sisters, but their names are unknown.

I'll send a clarification on this but I think Charles married Nancy Broom and Nathan married Nan'Ye'Ha, also Nancy Broom.
You show Nathan as being born in Scotland in 1746.
I know a lot of books show the Hicks as being Scottish, but I think they are descendants of Robert Hicks who came from England.
That's not to say he wasn't a Scot however.
Daniel Higdon paid Robert Hicks passage in 1683 and they worked together in the fur trade business from near Emporia, NC.

Nathan Hicks was a white man and various records show him being born anywhere from 1735 to 1754.
As near as I can tell, he was born about 1740-45.
He was married to Nan'Ye'Ha contrary to what most history books show.
This is about as far back as I can trace the Hicks line.
However, I think there is a good likelihood that Nathan may have been the son of Robert (1722-82) and Mary Hicks of Albemarle Parrish, Sussex County, Virginia.
This Nathan was born Nov 6, 1743 and was christened on December 18, 1743.
Don Shadburn's book, Cherokee Planters in Georgia notes on page 302 that in 1836, valuing agents Overlooked the property of Nancy Hicks, which consisted of 2 cabins ($50) In addition, 4 acres of land ($32) located on Chicamauga Creek. This is believed to have been Nathan's wife.
Whether old Nathan or his grandson, I have not determined.
Nathan's daughter Sarah married Walter Scott.
Daughter Elizabeth married Chief James Clement Vann, Eliphias Holt and Richard Fields and William Campbell.

Robert Hicks was the son of James Hicks, (b. 1700) and Judith Collier. James parents were Robert Hicks, Jr. and I believe Elizabeth Irvin. (Need to check that one.)
Robert Jr. was the son of Robert, the original immigrant who came over from England in about 1683.

Nathan was the father of Chief Charles R. Hicks.
No one has proven the connection between Robert and Nathan.
You may have to check British trading records or something along those lines.
Also check the Feb issue (1994-5) of the NC Genealogical Journal for an article on tri-racial marriages by James Logan Colbert.
He seems certain that this line leads to ours and I am inclined to agree.
Might be 95 and 96, it was in two installments.
It mentions a lot of the names you just did.

Regards,

Bill

The following is from Vern:

Nathan and Nan’Ye’Ha had two children, Charles Renatus Hicks and William Hicks.
Charles is our guy.
His information is above.
William Hicks married TOCOEYEEKA .
William and Tocoeyeeka were shown as the parents or guardians of George Hicks a student.
George was the son of Charles Hicks and “Chiuke”.
Charles was the brother of William so George was his nephew.
They must have been guardians while he attended school.
William was Principle Chief from 1826 to October 13, 1828.
This is from a list of students of the United Bretheren (Morvvian) Mission School at Spring Place Georgia, Cherokee Nation East 1804-1834 Compiled by Jerry Clark in the Cherokee Family Research, Issue for fall 1992 and Spring 1993 issue #8 and 9 page 10.

Lydia Halfbreed (Hicks) Chisolm was ¾ Cherokee of the blind Savannah clan. She was born in 1769,in Cherokee Nation East, Georgia. She was the daughter of a Chief Halfbreed, and Hannah “Gu-w-li-si”, married Charles Renatus Hicks, mother of four children who were 5/8 Cherokee; all of them were born in the Chickamauga District, Cherokee Nation East, Georgia. Dick Halfbreed was shot in the eye while attending church services in 1875 at Tahlequah. It was said the shooting stemmed from a Civil War grudge. Jesse Halfbreed was a signer of The 1835 Treaty Ceding Cherokee Nation, East, a capital offense: On December 29, 1835, while John Ross was still in Washington, and with only approximately 500 Cherokees assembled at New Echota, the Treaty of New Echota was signed with Schermerhorn and William Carroll by: Major Ridge, James Foster, Test-ta-esky, Charles Moore, George Chambers, Tah-yeske, Archilla Smith, Andrew Ross, William Lassley, Cae-tehee, Te-gah-e-ske, Robert Rogers, John Gunter, John A. Bell, Charles F. Foreman, William Rogers, George Adair, Elias Boudinot, James Starr, Jesse Halfbreed, Stand Watie, and John Ridge. Jesse was Lydia’s younger brother. This is a report that was in the: Cherokee Advocate, October 7, 1847. The Cherokee council on November 27, 1847, appropriated $23.00 to reimburse Charles Landrum and Pigeon Halfbreed for expenses incurred in recovering two girls, granddaughters of Shoeboot, kidnapped September 27 from the residence of their mother in Delaware District to be sold into slavery (Laws of the Cherokee Nation [Tahlequah, 1852] p.156). The people were outraged by the “notorious villian Mat Guerring and Gang” who broke into the home of some free mulatto and mixed-cherokee-blood people at Fort Gibson and kidnapped two girls. “In the presence of the mother they tied the two girls while in bed and carried them off to the States.”
