Biography

Source: Personal knowledge from family conversation. When I was a young boy, in the 1950s, I overheard a conversation between my Uncle George Franklin Ivey and my Ivey grandparents! The reason this was so memorable was the mention of an ancestor named Jesse Ivey. I was very familiar with Jesse James and thought this may concern him.

My uncle asked my grandfather if his grandfather was Leonard Ivey or Jesse Ivey. My grandfather was confused and stated that his grandfather was Jesse Ivey. My grandmother was very astute and had an excellent memory and my grandparents had lived in North Carolina (one year) where she had met the Ivey family and learned a bit about their history.

In correcting the confusion, my grandmother (Emma Williams Ivey) stated that Richard Ivey's grandfather was Leonard Ivey and Leonard's father was Jesse Ivey.

Knowing my grandmother's knowledge and abilities in this area, I default to her on the correctness of her statement. It should be noted that my grandmother had met my grandfather,s parents, Richard "Uncle Dick" Ivey and Harriet Melinda Ivey and found them to be very kind and gracious people.

I will include this statement under each person that it applies to in the Ivey ancestry list where this clarifies their relationship.

Memories: 4
Enter a personal reminiscence or story.
When my Grandfather spoke of his brothers and sisters, he referred to them by the following names:

James Wesley Ivey - "Wesley"

Cuzzey Ivey Thompson - "Cuzzey"

David Willis Ivey - "Willis"

Daniel Mack Ivey - "Dan'l"

Mary Jean Ivey Shaw - "Mary Jean"

Louis Furman Ivey - "Furman"

James Pearl Ivey? or Perly James Ivey ?- "Perl"

Henry Taylor Ivey - "Henry"

Based on his invariably using the names as used in quotation marks above, I'm left to assume that these were the names commonly used within the family and among acquaintances.

I might add that to the best of my knowledge, my Grandfather was always referred to as Richard and his father was referred to as "Dick" and oftentimes "Uncle Dick".

From conversations with my Grandfather, Richard Clarence Ivey, Sr., I learned that in 1910 he moved from Robeson County, North Carolina to Jackson County, Florida to work in the turpentine business with his brother, Willis Ivey (David Willis Ivey). I don't remember if my Grandfather ever said how long Willis had been in Florida prior to 1910, but from conversation it was apparent that Willis worked for the Bowen family as a "woods rider" (overseer) checking on the turpentine work being done in the "piney woods" prior to, and after 1910. wei

The possibility of a mystery within a mystery!

Where my grandfather is mentioned in this email, the grandchildren called him Papa. My brother sent me an email concerning the Croatans mentioned in connection with the "Lost Colony of Roanoke Island". We both enjoy studying history and archeology, which means that we often share interesting information we find. My grandfather was Richard Clarence Ivey (Ivey-581) and his mother was Harriet Melinda Ivey (Ivey-410). The body of the email is:

"I remember Papa talking about the Croatans where he was from in Robeson County, North Carolina. Contrary to the article on the following URL site, I never heard him say anything about Lumbees or Lumbee Indians. I remember asking him one time if the Croatans were Indians, and I have to paraphrase what he said, and use the meaning of what I gathered from what he said. He said that they weren't exactly what you would call Indians. I also somehow gathered that they were different and weren't exactly what you would call white people either.

I also remember him talking about a Croatan man singing Papa's favorite song before the Croatan was publicly hung. The song was Amazing Grace. I don't remember if Papa witnessed this or if it happened prior to his time, and someone told him about it.

The URL is: http://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/mysterious-lost-colony-roanoke-island-020289"

This reminded me about my grandfather referencing the Croatans on several occasions and he never referred to them as Lumbee. The conversation my brother mentioned was one that I was not involved in. I do remember parts of a conversation that concerns the hanging of the old man. It was actually my grandfather's mother who witnessed the hanging. At the time she was only 19 years old and the last wish of the Croatan man was to sing Amazing Grace, which impacted her so strongly that we still talk about it within the family.

Though I don't know if I will ever have a chance to get back to Lumberton, North Carolina but, if I do I will be looking for family members that heard stories about the Croatans from the older Iveys. I almost get the impression of them being a race (probably mixed) that may have even had roots back to other European people (this is just my impression).

My question is, who were the Croatans and what was their history? If anyone has contact with the Lumberton, North Carolina Iveys in my grandfather's line, I would certainly like to know what they have to say!

When the question of kinship is mentioned, my father told me that his grandparents, Richard and Harriet, were probably cousins. My grandmother stated that Richard and Harriet said they were not kin. That leaves this question in the air until positive research provides the answer.

Ivey-426 and Ivey-581 merge: These two profiles are the same - the issues with the ancestry sourced DOB is resolved with the merge. Also there is first hand knowledge from at least one of the profile managers as they have first hand information on the Children. If there is an issue with moving forward with this merge, please provide source information to the contrary. Thanks, Mags

Until there can be a merge or clarification, Richard Clarence Ivey is listed as his brother Richard C. Ivey. I personally knew my Uncle Willis and met my Uncle Furman in North Carolina in 1969.
