I am a descendant of William I believe from the best of my research. I’ve verified through the tame doe line as well. It’s possible there is a mistake, but it seems to be correct. My family on this side is from Jackson county Alabama and Tennessee before I believe. My line would have been John Jacob or jake Helton. Apparently, Helton comes from his wife. From my research either he or his father or mother was Cherokee. Wolf clan. I’ve seen her listed as deer. The original ancestor I’ve found is fivekiller and it appears he was a Delaware.
Hi I am also a descendant. Thomas and Bettie are my 6th great grandparents I think. I have only just recently found some information about them. I see your post is from a couple years back but here is what I have.
‘Thomas Lithfuss Orlefus Creebeck Helton (Full Cherokee married Bettie Helton & took her name) was born in 1730 in Halifax, Virginia, USA. He married Bettie Creebeck Helton in Maiden, North Carolina, USA. They had three children in 27 years. He died having lived for more than 100 years. He died in 1840 in Burke, North Carolina, USA, at the age of 110.’
Thomas married Bettie in 1743 when he was 13 years ago.
His son Abraham (Young Chicken) Chetiganete was born in 1743 in Halifax, Virginia, USA.
His son Lt. Peter C (Cherokee Indian) was born in 1752 in Randolph, North Carolina, USA
His son Beachem/Beecher was born in 1770 in Salisbury, North Carolina, USA.
Per notes found Bettie married a handsome Cherokee Indian 5 yrs younger than her as to have her own Family. He would heave been acceptable to her dad because her mother was a full blood cherokee maiden.
I also have found a picture of Bettie.
Hi there. My husband is from the very same tree. We were interested in Bettie and her mother. Unfortunately we haven’t found anything on her mother though. We have Susan Hawkins Winkler as Beecham Helton wife. It would be nice to see your picture of Bettie. Thanks shonnanelson85@gmail.com
Hello, I recently discovered that Thomas and Bettie Helton are my 7th great-grandparents. I would be excited to be able to see the photo you have of Bettie. Thanks!
I am a descendent through Peter Helton. I would love to see a picture of Betty, and would love to learn more about their parents.
Hello I believe I’m a descendant Beecham Helton-Susan Winkler, their daughter Bettie Helton and husband Thomas Creekback, their son Abraham Young Chicken C. Helton (1743)and Katie Owl. Did Young Chicken marry Katie Owl? Did they have a son John Robert Helton(1786)? Did John Helton marry a Dicie Helton possible cousin in 1806? They may have had a son Jacob“Jack Owl” Helton(1805)? He may have married a Elizabeth “ Betsy “ Swain and had a daughter Mary Polly Ann Helton born 1840? Mary Helton may have married a David Pruitt or Pruett? I would appreciate any information on this family.
Abraham was married to Kati Owl. They had a son named John, not John Robert as seen all over the internet. John married his cousin, Dicie Helton. Yes, they had a son named Jacob. He was not called Jack owl. Jacob married Betsy Swain/ Swaim.
I am trying to find a connection to Abraham Young Chicken Helton. His name is popping up in all my searches through Ancestry, but so far, I can’t quite get the connection. (I’m not an experienced researcher). My maiden name is Helton and I have always heard the Cherokee stories. If you have a picture of Bettie, I would love to see it.
I would love to see her photo. My line is through my maternal grandfather.
Hi I am a descendant through the Mabe family. I believe Thomas and Before would be my 10th great grandparents. Their daughter Lucinda married John Mabe who is on my paternal grandfather’s side. I would love to see any pictures anyone may have.

I meant Bettie, not before. Typo.
I too have just found out that Thomas Lithfuss Creeback is my 7th great grandfather. I am also interested in any information and pictures.
