Can we mark Kitigusta-1 as non-existent.

Question

This is an unsourced profile for a non-existent person.  The name apparently combines four Cherokee people into one mythical man, claimed to be the father of a white woman born in Virginia:

“Tame Doe” is the name given Nancy Ward’s (Cherokee-59) mother in a novel.

“White Owl”  is a name associated with Attakullakulla (Cherokee-60) when he was a young man.

“Raven” is a title in the Cherokee leadership hierarchy, not a name

Kitagusta (Moytoy-54) was a Cherokee chief, one of seven Cherokee men who went to  London with Sir Alexander Cuming in 1730

Through the magic of the Internet we now have this mythical person.

Comments

Looks like both parents (unsourced) as well as the daughter are copied over from Geni (the daughter has the Geni source). So, it appears that the whole family is in deep doodoo as to any proof at all. Kathy, have you seen any of these individuals anywhere else, source-wise?

Edit: oops! Just saw your next post.

Elizabeth Keesee is a real person, there’s a Pittsylvania County, Virginia marriage record for her and Claiborne Hicks in 1787; Claiborne is on the 1820 census in VA, over 45 with woman over 45, so probably the same couple.  It’s her bogus Indian parents that are the problem, she seems to have real parents on some trees and there are multiple records for people named Keesee in Pittsylvania County at that time.

Answer 1

Since there is no evidence this person existed or was connected to Elizabeth Keesee I have detached him as her father.
