Biography
Tsi-go-a, (Checoa) is the name given to a Cherokee woman, believed to be the mother of William, John Thompson, and Richard Drew. Her husband is listed by some researchers as a man named Charles Drew, by others, William Drew. "Tsi-go-a" appears in no contemporaneous records.
Research Notes
According to researcher John Strange (but with no documentation listed), a white trader named William Drieux or Drew had children by the Cherokee daughter of white trader James Beamer and his Cherokee wife. They were the parents of a mixed-blood son named Charles Drew or Drieux, the father with a Cherokee woman named Tsi-go-a/Chi-go-a of a son named William Drew. [1]
James Hicks lists additional children for this couple, John Thompson and Richard Drew. [2]
Researcher David Hampton lists "William Drew" as the father of John Thompson and Richard Drew. [3]
John, William, Richard, and their wives and children are all well-documented but there is no mention of their parents.
