Hey Wanell,
James McKellop, listed before Annie McKellop, appears to be my ancestor who was married to Annie McKellop. They were the parents of my great-great grandfather, Joseph M. McKellop, and Albert Pike McKellop (who wrote a history of the Creek Indians in Oklahoma).
My Annie McKellop was born Annie Marshall, daughter of Henry Marshall (who's brother was Benjamin Marshall, possibly the same one listed as a slave owner) and a woman surnamed Barnett (first name unknown). Henry and Benjamin Marshall were both well-to-do in the Creek Nation, as was James McKellop, whose full name was James Madison McKellop.
The Barnett woman was of the Euchre (or Euchee/Yuchi) Tribe, which had been assimilated into the Creek Nation generations prior. This information is according to Albert Pike McKellops history. Annie McKellop was from Euchee Tribal Town in the Creek Nation, according to Campbell's 1899 Extract, where she is listed as the mother of Joseph M. McKellop, father of Effie McKellop (my great-grandmother).
I am not certain as to the ancestry of the Marshall brothers, aside from the fact that they were Creek Indians. I suspect that they are mixed with white blood due to their surname.
Moving back to James "Madison" McKellop...
James Madison McKellop's father was James (or David?) McKellop, a Scotch Methodist Minister and a veteran of the War of 1812 (he was in the Georgia Freedman's Squadron, Cavalry). According to Albert Pike McKellop's History, he came from Scotland as a child with his parents. I am trying to find more information on him.
James Madison McKellop's mother was Mary Perryman, daughter of Chief Benjamin Perryman (aka Steek-cha-ko-micco or "Great King/Chief"), a Lower Creek Chief. Perryman's father was white, and his mother was Creek, the daughter of a Chief.
Are you related to James McKellop in any way? I hope this information helps.
