Biography
His name is mentioned in the depositions for the citizenship of Dica Llewellyn. Modern research indicates this was not the case and that Dica had no Cherokee ancestry, but the depositions provided by Parris cousins help us to identify him as a son of George Parris and full brother to Lucretia. It is not even clear if he used the Parris surname. His fate is unknown. He probably died in Georgia and there is no indication he emigrated. He may have been able to integrate into the white society, though with two 1/2 Cherokee parents, he probably looked too obvious to pass. To date no one knows much more than George had a son Jim by his first wife with lived in the Cherokee Nation in Georgia and for whom no one could name a wife or children.
