6. CHARLES RENATUS2 HICKS, CHIEF (NATHAN1) (Source: Emmet Starr, E Starr, 448, 551.) was born December 23, 1767 in Tamali, on the Hiwassee River, CNE [GA], and died January 20, 1827 in Fortville, CNE [GA]. He married (2) NANCY E BROOM Abt. 1797, daughter of CHIEF BROOM and AJOSTA. She was born Abt. 1770, and died Aft. 1842.
Notes for CHARLES RENATUS HICKS, CHIEF:
Notes on Starr's compilations:
1) Charles' father Nathan was married to a Na-ye-hi not to Nancy Broom.
2) Nancy Elizabeth Broom aka Anna Felicitas was married to Charles Renatus Hicks.
3) In the Halfbreed 1-x & 1-1-x family groups Starr depicts Lydia Halfbreed and Charles Hicks as the parents of George Hicks; however, Starr's un-published notes, pg 146-147, and the entries for the Spring Place Students lead me to believe that the spouse of Lydia Halfbreed should have been listed as Charles' brother William, and George as their son. This configuration is also suported by Miller application #7991 for Jennie Hicks nee Wilson who claims through her grand-parents George and Lucy Hicks, her g-gmother Lydia Chisholm [nee Halfbreed], and her great uncles and aunts; Ruth Beck, Anna French, Eli, William, Carrington, Charles and John Hicks; all known children of William Hicks.

Cherokee Tragedy, The Ridge Family and the Decimation of a People, by Thurman Wilkins,
University of Oklahoma Press, Morman and London:
On his way home from Salem, Major Ridge stopped at Spring Place on January 22, 1827, and found the mission in mourning. During his absence the Cherokee had lost in quick succession their principal chiefs: the aged Pathkiller had died first and two weeks later Charles Hicks lay in a walnut coffin at Spring Place. Hicks had attended the coulcil at New Echota the previous fall though badly ailing. On his way home he was forced to camp in the woods and had taken cold from the dampness. He had gone to bed with Dropsical complaints and had never risen again. Major Ridge, on taking a last look at his friend, learned that he had died gently on January 20 as though he had mearly fallen asleep. The Ridge delivered an impressive exhortation at the funeral.

Notes for NANCY E BROOM:
Memorabilia of the Wachovia Congregations for the year 1821;
"The 14th of October was noteworthy there because in a reverent gathering the Indian Sr. Anna Felicitas Hicks, wife of Br. Charles Renatus Hicks, received holy baptism." [Anna Felicitas is the name given to Nancy Broom at her baptism]
*********************
Extract of a letter from Brother John Gambold, Missionary at Oochgeelogy, among the Cherokees
Spring-Place, October 19, 1821;
"Most of my little flock came here with me, last Saturday, to be present at the Baptism of our Brother Charles Renatus Hick's wife, the first adult of this nation, whom Brother Schmidt has been favored to baptize. The powerful feeling of the presence of God on this occasion, encourages us to hope, that the Father, the Word and the Spirit bear record of this act in heaven. According to a wish, my late dear partner had sometimes expressed, to give her revered mother's name to an Indian Sister, this person was called Anna Felicia. So you see, the Holy Spirit is still continuing to draw souls to Jesus; the work goes on but slowly indeed, yet it is going on; and, what is particularly remarkable, the awakinging, we perceive, comprises chiefly mothers of families, on whom, according to Indian custom, rests the strength of the family, and whose influence on the children is nearly exclusive, as the father is hardly accounted a relative. The conversion of a mother is therefore of great moment, and, as far a human instrumentality is concerned, one of the best means for drawing in the children."
*********************
Extract of a letter from Brother John Renatus Schmidt, Missionary at Spring-Place, Cherokee Nation, December 10, 1821;

Drury/Drewry Ryan and Sena/Sina/Serena Ann Walker
(Drury's wife Sena's family attended the Inquest Hearings into Jesse James' Murder with Jesse's mother and they were said to have been kin. This is interesting because my dad's distant cousin - a female Turner cousin also was said to have attended the Inquest Hearings into Jesse James' Murder with Jesse's mother and they were said to have been kin also. According to one book that I recently found which supports both family stories says that a Mrs. Turner and a Mrs Walker were recorded to have attended the Inquest Hearings into Jesse James' Murder with Jesse's mother. Sena Walker’s family is said to be Cherokee.)
Rachel Ryan and Thomas Kinslow (Rachel's brother - Will Ryan was said to be the same “Wild Bill Ryan” a member of the Jesse James Gang. Will Ryan married Sarah Ann Clary. Rachel Ryan is of Cherokee descent.)

Nancy Elizabeth, daughter of Broom, Chief of Broomstown, a full blood Cherokee of the Wolf Clan married Nathan Hicks, a white man. They were the parents of Charles R. Hicks, born in 1760 and died in 1826. Elsie, daughter of Charles R.
*Charles Renatus Hicks was the son of Nathan Hicks and Nancy Elizabeth Broom (Daughter of Broom, a minor Cherokee Chief of Broomstown, Georgia.)
Charles was educated in his father’s native Virginia.
A member of the Wolf Clan.
Baptized April 10, 1813.
He was among the first Cherokees to convert to Christ, this was when Renatus (Reborn, Latin) was added to his name.
Charles was also one of the first men in the Cherokee Nation who learned to read and write.
He was one of the most intelligent men in the Cherokee Nation.
Charles was the one responsible for the laws of the Cherokee Nation to be published.
The laws were first written down September 1808 at Broomtown and signed by Enola (Blackfox) as Principle Chief, Pathkiller as second Chief and Charles Hicks, Secretary to the Council. The document was not published until 1852.
Hicks became second Chief under Pathkiller.
In the last year of his life he became Principle Chief.
He also served as Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation.
His secretary John Ross credited his friendship with Charles as entrusting him to the Fullblood members of the tribe.
It is said Charles taught the illiterate Sequoyah to write his English name Guess, to imprint on his silver works.
Charles died in 1827 and was succeeded by his brother William Hicks as Principle Chief.
Charles Hicks, a brilliant mixed-blood, who led in writing the Cherokee constitution.
This document contained an outline of the new government, defined the powers of officials with such Indian names as principle chief for chief executive, and the legislative body was called the National Council.
In most respects, this constitution was similar to the United States Constitution.
After Charles’ death William Hicks (Charles’ brother) served as interim chief until an election was held under the constitution, which elected John Ross as principle chief.
Though only one-eighth Cherokee, Ross was enduringly popular with the full bloods.
Since they outnumbered the mixed bloods at least three to one, they could out vote the mixed bloods, too.
Ross studiously adopted the full blood point of view and thus assured his continuation as principle chief of the Cherokee Nation, winning every election until his death in 1866.
The Cherokee involvement in the Creek War (which is considered part of the War of 1812) was from October 1st, 1813 to April 11th, 1814.
There were two enlistments of about 3 months each: October 7th, 1813 – January 6th, 1814; and January 27th, 1814 – April 11th, 1814.
The Cherokees sent between 400 and 700 men to serve under Colonels Gideon Morgan Jr. and John Lowrey, both half-bloods.
They were listed as Cherokee Warriors, Mounted.
They fought the battles of Talladega, Emuckfaw, Enotachopoo, Hillabee, and Horseshoe Bend.
Among those fighting were:
Adjutant John Ross, Major Ridge, Major John Walker, Captain Richard Brown, George Gist/Guess (Sequoyah), John Drew, Whitepath of Elijay, Arch Campbell, Goingsnake, Chief Junuluska (Tsuna-Lahunski), George Fields, Charles Hicks, Alexander Saunders (Captain of his own company in Col. Gideon Morgan Jr.’s Regiment of Cherokee Indians October 7th, 1813 to January 6th, 1814, and Major of Field and Staff of the same Regiment January 27th, 1814 to April 11th, 1814), Charles Rogers (Lieutenant under Captain John McIntosh January 27th, 1814 to April 11th, 1814), John Rogers (Private in Captain David McNair’s Company October 7th, 1813 to January 6th, 1814).
Charles Hicks was born on the Hiawassee River at Tomotley, GA, December 23rd, 1767.
He was the son of Nathan Hicks and Nan'Ye'Ha, a full blood Cherokee.

After Path Killer's death in 1817, Charles was elected Second Chief of the Cherokee tribe.
In 1821, Gambold established a Mission at Octology, about 20 miles from Springplace.
By then, Charles was living at Dogwood Flats on the headwaters of Chicamauga Creek.
