Here is some info I found on my ancestors. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
Grandmother's name: Nina Kathryn "Chavous" James
Her mother: Martha Chavous.....Spouse: Samuel James
Her mother: Ann Nancy Chavous
Her father and mother: Hampton Abraham "Chavis" Chavous - Christina Williams
His father and mother: James "Jim" Chavis - Rebecca "Becky" Williams
His father and mother: Lazarus Chavis - May (Maiden Name Unknown)
His father and mother: Ishmael Chavis - Reyel (Maiden Name Unknown)

Name: Martha CHAVOUS
Sex: F
Birth: 1869
Death: 1942
Mother: Ann Nancy CHAVOUS b: 1852

Name: Ann Nancy CHAVOUS

Birth: 1852
Death: 1909
Father: Hampton Abraham " Chavis" CHAVOUS b: 1815 in SC
Mother: Christina WILLIAMS b: 1830
ID: I0521
Name: Hampton Abraham " Chavis" CHAVOUS
Sex: M
Birth: 1815 in SC
Death: 11 MAR 1898
Father: James "Jim" CHAVIS b: ABT. 1790 in Beaver Creek , Orangeburg, SC
Mother: Rebecca "Becky" WILLIAMS b: ABT. 1796 in Beaver Creek, Orangeburg, SC
ID: I0516
Name: James "Jim" CHAVIS
Sex: M
Birth: ABT. 1790 in Beaver Creek , Orangeburg, SC
Death: in Orangeburg Co, SC
Note: Jim and Becky Chavis were not the only Indians to settle in the Salley, Neeses, North area. There were a number of Indian families that came to the Beaver Creek area. So why are so many stories told about Jim & Becky? Why are they the main ones remembered? Because they were both descended from the Chief and his family. They were the couple held in highest esteen in the area. Jim's father is believed to be Elisha. Elisha's father was Ishmael. Ishmael's father did not have a white name. Ishmael's wife was Reyel. Ishmael was the last of Jim's clan to hold the title of Chief. To the old Pee Dee Indians, the clan was more inportant in day to day than the tribe. Jim & Becky were River Turtle Clan, what we call alligator turtles, which makes sense since they were river traders. When Jim & Beck settled in the Beaver Creek area the other Indians wanted to be married into their family because they were special. That is why we have so many that are descended from Jim & Becky.
Father: Lazarus CHAVIS

Note:
Elisha Chavis is one of many Pee Dee Indians that served in the Revolutionary War.
His company was formed by Capt. John Allston to fight with Gen. Francis Marion against the British. His company was called "Foot Rovers" and also "Foot Rangers" or Raccoon Company.*(audited accts No. 91). The next in command Lt. James Coachman recruited Pee Dee from those who had lived on the reservation he established for them on his land on the Edisto River. This company was composed entirely of Pee Dee Indians and part of the regiment serving under Col. William Thompson.

Father: Ishmael CHAVIS
Mother: Reyel MNU
ID: I0602
Name: Ishmael CHAVIS
Sex: M
Note:
Listed in Ishmael's will, according to Barry Chavis, John & Richard were two of his children. On the
1790 Census it shows him having eight children. Barry is trying to see where Thomas Chavis fits into
the picture. Barry also says that Ishmael lived in So. Car. & No. Car. It is believed that the Pee Dee Indians were originally part of the Lumby Indians. This info was rec'd from Barry by phone 7/9/98

John and Martha Chavis are my great, great, great
grandparents who are from Richland County South Carolina. They had six children: Polly Chavis (my great, great grandmother married Henry R. Harrell of Richland County, SC), Johnnie Chavis, Ransom Chavis, Hampton Chavis, Victoria Chavis and a unknown baby Chavis.
If anyone can provide information about any of them, I'd be greatful. Thank you.
