Notes for Albert E. Grogan:
Real name: All Bird, Tenant Farmer
February 22, 1939
Dear Cousin,
I sure was pleased to receive your inquiry today in regard to our ancestors.
As I suppose without doubt - I am the only living one who can tell you
anything about your great-grandparents! At one time I had the entire history
plus dates. I could tell a whole complete history - I have lost and destroyed
all because I found, I am sorry to say, no one even cared to know - and the
last survivor, Catherine Sanders of Seymour, Missouri, died about 4 years ago,
age 106 [Sarah Catherine died July 2, 1934, age about 86]. But I will tell you
a few things -
I spent plenty money and time and I guess if my father would of lived, he told
me that he would be willing to spend $10,000 which would not be enough to even
start, as I spent that much myself at different times and ways. If I could
talk to you, I'd tell you all, but here is enough to let you wonder and wonder
for years to come - so here it is ------
Your grandmother [Sarah Harvey] was as near a full blood as could be. Grogans
were Cherokees. Harveys were Creeks and Pinka Poos. [who are the Pinka Poos?]
As far as I know, no one served in Revolutionary War but--- Albert E. Grogan,
for an honor act, was awarded 360 acres of land where now sits the town of
Duluth, Minnesota, of which the main street is the 1/2 mile line--- Value of
the property in 1930 was $772,000,000. As near as I could find out, about 654
heirs. Deeds and quiet titles were without doubt forged! Only about $14,000
paid for these or information concerning the names [paid by who, and to
who?].
The man is still living who gave this information at Springfield by the name
of Sanders who is, or who was at the time, entirely innocent of all--only
ignorant. [probably Sarah Catherine's son, William Mark Sanders]
The manuscript of the whole affair covers over 1800 pages was in the hands of
a Mr. Doran at Washington, D.C. Whatever became of him, I don't know.
About 12 years ago was the last hearing of the case and as no one except, as I
understand, the Indian agent answered, so I guess the case was closed, but I
understand was not.--
The only one who I knew of who would have given the Grogans a square deal, of
which I spent $1,000 to get to talk to about 30 minutes [probably well before
September 1919(1)], is dead, was no other than Woodrow Wilson, a great
president, but he is dead and gone.
So after he died, with no one to help, I just washed my hands and intended to
forget, but I never will--as at any time any thing comes up I am always ready
to talk, but with all the great wealth that rightfully belongs to us, we will
never get one cent, so it's just as well to us to all forget------
Although it's wonderful to know just how I came to dig into the matter and
from bits by bits come into what little information I have------ Your great-
great-grandparents originated in or near Raytown, Georgia, immigrated to Tenn.
[McMinn / Polk County] then to Wright County, Missouri.
Well, this will keep you thinking and this is pretty good for me to remember
after 2 years and 4 months of hard sickness for myself. At this time every one
of your people I know are pretty well, so with kind personal regards and best
wishes from all to all.
Clarence M. Harvey
Your great-grandfather Harvey's name, if I get it right was (?) without a legal father. They originated also in Georgia. The Grogans got their name from early settlers from England of Irish descent.

I saw Willard Harvey a couple of weeks ago and he told me that your Father passed away (Wood Harvey) a short time ago. He was the only one found that could tell me the county in Tenn. where Albert Grogan lived. The Federal Census verifies this and gives the dates of both 1840 and 1850. Then they moved to Missouri between 1850 and 1860. Now as to Albert Grogan being part Indian I have heard
nothing further on that. As your Father's mind was clear on where Grogans lived it could also be the same on the matter of Grogan being part Cherokee. As you have also heard that Clarence Harvey had considerable information on that I have been of the opinion that I might contact some of the folks sometime somewhere that would recall where he got his information or proof if he had any. I am inclined to believe that he did have from what was said and related by him about 1933 to Grand Mother. Would you find out if Henry Davis is still living in Cal. Some one told me that he might know something about this as he might have seen Clarence more frequently and heard him talk. I believe it was some of your folks there that mentioned about Henry Davis. Could you give me his address?
I am getting quite a lot of pleasure out of studying the family history and I have enjoyed my visits as I did with you folks.
Respectfully,

Vol LVIII #2, Missouri Historical Review, January 1964:
Eighth Regiment Cavalry, Missouri State Militia, organized at Jefferson City, Bolivar, Warsaw and Linn Creek December 18, 1861 to May 6, 1862. Unattached, Department of Missouri to September 1862. District of southwest Missouri to July 1865. Saw
service at Humansville, Polk County March 26, 1862 (Companys A, B, D and E) and in Jasper County June 10, 1863, and many other places. They lost 3 officers and 77 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded. One officer and 131 enlisted men by disease. It was Union.

This e-mail was written to a circle of Harvey and or Grogan descendants. If I recieve any new news I will add all of my new cousins to our group. I was so excited at the time this info was found I forgot to ask what the pension number was and if I could have a copy. I will ask her today. I understand Albert was only in the service about 3 months, due to illness and therefor he only had a page or two in the file.

Hello to Everyone,
I've been stealing away to the National Archives when I've had the chance this summer. As I was looking up William E. Grogan's Civil War service records, I ran across service records for Albert Grogan as well. He joined for duty and enrolled in July of 1862 (muster-in date of July 30, 1862) in Marshfield, MO. He was listed as age 50. He was honorably discharged for disability based on a surgeon's certificate of disability on October 4, 1862. Although a casualty sheet was completed, It is unclear what the nature of the disability was and no pension application appears to have been filed. So, here's a little more information to add that introduces a lot more questions! Any ideas of where to find more information about Albert's service and disability? Are there resources for specific information on Missouri Civil War companies and regiments? Our Grogan reunion is in about a week in Kansas. I will get to meet Wilene and her husband which I am quite excited about! I hope all of you are doing well. I appreciate any ideas you have on this-- Glenda >>
The information on Albert Grogan is minimal and I don't think it will scan well. But I found it here: "Compiled Service Records of Vol. Union Soldiers Who Served in Organizations from Missouri"--8th Cav. (Em-G) Microcopy #405, Roll 190; Card # 7501441, 7501544, 7501643, 75031.08 I don't know any more than I did in the original e-mail I sent. Thanks for sending me the information on this site. Glenda
There are too many places to post information on these MyFamily sites (I've discontinued mine). See below in the File Cabinet for the details from Albert GROGAN's muster rolls, copies of which my husband and I will be eternally grateful to Glenda for when we met her in Chanute, KS, last summer. (Glenda, that was so much fun and we both enjoyed it tremendously!) As I was transcribing these into my FTM file today, I discovered it includes a statement of his age that I had not seen previously -- age 50 when he enlisted in 1862 which closely corresponds to his stated age in 1850 and 1860. Age 37 in 1850 (b. ca. 1813); age 45 in 1860 (b. ca. 1815); age 50 in 1862 (b. ca. 1812).

Pinkapoo notation: A reference to Pinkapoo was made by Clarence Harvey in his letter. He may have been referring to an area where the Indians had lived, instead of meaning the name of the tribe. The text is fairly long so I have only given the http: address. It could be possible he meant Kickapoo, however that would mean John Harvey's parents would be Creeks from the TN, GA, or SC area and Kickapoo from TX or OK 2000 miles west of where John was raised, unless the Kickapoo were orignally from the east. I was only suggesting that Clarence may have mixed up a tribe name with an area. We may never find out what he meant. I don't have the original letter. Does Linda Dewey? Wilene Smith

Your great grandfather HARVEY name if I get it right was ( ? ) without a legal father. They originated also in Georgia. The GROGANs got their name from early settlers from England or Irish descent.

Footnotes: Woodrow Wilson served two full terms as President, 1913-1921. However, he suffered a paralytic stroke, October 3, 1919, and spent the rest of his presidency and of his life weak, partially paralyzed, and inactive. He died February 3, 1924. Therefore, Clarence Harvey's visit with President Wilson occurred prior to October 3, 1919.

Duluth, MN, in St. Louis Co., formed 1856 from Itasca and Newton; Itasca formed 1849 from unorganized territory; Newton formed 1855 from Itasca.

If there's any truth in the tradition about Albert GROGAN and his "honor act," this could be one explanation: 1838-1848. "Some Cherokee avoided the removal. . . . Several hundred Cherokee escaped and hid in the mountains, and the army used other Cherokee to hunt them. In 1842, the army gave up the effort, and the fugitive Cherokee were allowed to remain in an 'unofficial' status." Was Albert GROGAN among the "other Cherokee" the army used to hunt the escapees? He was certainly of the right age and in the right place to have been somehow involved. However, if this were the answer to the question, it begs an answer to yet another question: How was it that Albert GROGAN and his family lived safely in southeast TN for yet another 20 years before moving to Missouri?

It seems mighty strange that a Cherokee would be given land in Minnesota in the heart of Sioux country. The Sioux did not like anybody. I'm assuming though that he would have gotten the land after the Sioux left and went west during their migration following the buffalo herds. --e-mail from Doyle Sanders , June 1, 1998.

The Indians called it Wonakake-took or Pecouktook. They mean otter river or crooked river. The river starts in the hills above Dorset. From there it flows north for about 100 miles draining an area of about 1,000 miles ... http://www.vetc.vsc.edu/vuhs/project/otter.htm (Infoseek

Name: Albert E. "Allbird" GROGAN
Sex: M
Birth: BET. 1812 - 1815 in Georgia (possibly near Raytown, Taliaferro Co.) or South Carolina 1
Death: AFT. 23 JUN 1866 in Wright Co., MO (and possibly before February 14, 1868) 2
Note:
Family tradition says that Albert GROGAN was Cherokee, and his wife, Mary, a Lumbee Cherokee. However, 3 generations of descendants have been unable to either prove or disprove this tradition. Every record that identifies their skin color (censuses and tax records) identify them as "white," but these records usually provided only for "white," "black," or "mulatto," and had no provisions for Indians or other ethnicities. Their first born son, William E., was described in his Civil War service records with hazel eyes, light hair, and a dark complexion.

Albert was b. ca. 1812-1815 in Georgia (possibly near Raytown, Taliaferro Co.), or in South Carolina. (Georgia from the 1850 census, and the 1880 census for dau. Sarah Catherine; Raytown from the Clarence M. HARVEY letter dated Feb. 22, 1939; South Carolina from the 1860 census.)

1836, Albert GROGAN recorded as a taxpayer in McMinn Co., TN, District 12. He owned neither his land or slaves, but farmed 160 acres valued at $100 with a resulting tax of 52-1/2c (half of what he'd pay if he had owned his farm). He was identified as a White Poll, i.e., a white person, age 21-50. --Harold Reksten and Reba Boyer, Index to McMinn County, Tennessee, Tax Lists, 1829-1832, 1836, and Detail from 1836 Tax List (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1996).

1840 Polk Co., TN, census, p.12, Eastern District of Tennessee:

I believe that the 1850 census gives the most accurate accounting of the approximate birth years of Albert and Mary GROGAN's first 7 children. Therefore, I have used these approximate dates in place of dates from gravestones and death certificates.

1850 Polk Co., TN, census, p.217A, 3rd Civil District, September 18, 1850:
343/347, Albert GROGAN, 37 M, farmer, $200 real, GA; Mary, 37 F, NC; Cyntha, 14 F, TN; William E., 14 M, TN; Brdly, 10 M, TN; Susan, 9 F, TN; Mary, 8 F, TN; Matilda, 6 F, TN; Catherine, 2 F, TN. Albert and Mary cannot read or write. Cyntha, William, Brdly, Susan, and Mary attend school.

TN records recorded his name as "Albert" GROGAN, while MO records recorded him as "Allbird" or "Albird" which could simply be a corruption of Albert. (As one example, people used to commonly spell Wilkinson as Wilkerson.)
If the name Allbird were Cherokee, it would translate literally as ni-ga-dv tsi-s qua (All Bird), pronounced nee-kah-duh tzees-kwah (but I don't know where the accents would be). I don't know their idioms; they change anyway as the language grows. Albert is translated as e (li) quah ti and pronounced al kwah tee. --e-mail from Doyle Sanders , June 1, 1998, from a translation dictionary.

1866 June 23, Solomon MEADOWS, died intestate; Susan A. MEADOWS, Prin. Albird GROGAN & John H. FLETCHER. --Wright County Wills, Book A, 1859-1874. (This is the last known record of Albert GROGAN's life. If he and Mary died in Wright Co., MO, their graves have either not been located, or are unmarked. The same is true for 3 of their children -- Bradley, Matilda, and David.)

The 1870 census in Wright Co., MO, was not enumerated door to door (per e-mail from the Wright Co. Historical Society in 1999). Instead, the enumerator set up shop in Hartville, the county seat, and waited for the citizens of Wright Co. to come to him. Therefore, many people who then lived in Wright Co. were not enumerated that year, including the GROGAN family -- Albert and Mary, Bradley, Susan, Matilda, Rachel, and David.

1866 June 23, Solomon MEADOWS, died intestate; Susan A. MEADOWS, Prin. Albird GROGAN & John H. FLETCHER. --Wright County Wills, Book A, 1859-1874. (This is the last known record of Albert GROGAN's life. If he and Mary died in Wright Co., MO, their graves have either not been located, or are unmarked. The same is true for 3 of their children -- Bradley, Matilda, and David.)

The 1870 census in Wright Co., MO, was not enumerated door to door (per e-mail from the Wright Co. Historical Society in 1999). Instead, the enumerator set up shop in Hartville, the county seat, and waited for the citizens of Wright Co. to come to him. Therefore, many people who then lived in Wright Co. were not enumerated that year, including the GROGAN family -- Albert and Mary, Bradley, Susan, Matilda, Rachel, and David.
