  14. Early Life: Hi! My name is Coosaponakeesa (KOO sah poe nah KEE sah) but everyone knows me as Mary Musgrove (I will explain this more in detail later in the interview). I was born in the Creek Village of Coweta, which is near present-day city of Macon, Georgia. My mother is Creek and my father is an English trader!

  15. English Settlement: When I was 10 years old, I moved to an English settlementwith my dad’s family which is present-day Charleston, South Carolina. I learned to speak English, & this is when I was given my other name, Mary. This is what a colonial Charleston home looked like!

  16. When I lived in Charleston, many things were different for me. Take a look at this chart to see the differences.. **Click on the triangle when you are done reading this chart.

  17. Look at the differences in my summer and winter Creek houses…. Click on this green star to take you back to the chart to learn more about the differences in lifestyle

  18. Here is a map of my Childhood Homes:

  19. Years spent in Creek villages and English Settlements:

  20. Bilingual: When I was 15 years old, I moved back to my Creek family. I was able to speak both English & Creek so I began to help English settlers & Creek traders speak to each other.

  21. Trading Post: In 1722, I opened my own Trading Post, which is a place for people to trade things they have for other things.

  22. Becoming an Interpreter for Oglethorpe: In 1733, James Oglethorpe wanted to start a new EnglishColonycalled Georgia. He asked me to help himcommunicateto the Creeks. I quickly became hisinterpreter. (Remember, I spoke both Creek and the English language).

  23. Savannah, Georgia: Oglethorpe had me talk to the Yamacraw Creek leader, Tomochichi. This is when he agreed to let Oglethorpe build the settlement of Savannah. The Creeks and English continued to trade with each other. The Creeks also showed The English how to grow crops. Savannah grew and became Georgia’s first city! This me, Oglethorpe & Tomochichi talking!

  24. Here is a map of Colonial Georgia:

  25. Convincing the Creek to join the English side: I continued to help Oglethorpe talk to the Creek leaders and worked to keep peace with the Creek and English settlers. But soon enough, the English and Spanish settlers in the area began to fight and I was able to convince the Creek to join the English side!

  26. Accomplishments: I also had a Trading Post in Savannah. In 1735, I was the richest woman in Georgia and I became the largest landowner in the colony! Although I was known for these great things, I was mainly remembered for helping the Founding of Georgia!

  27. Dependability: The Creek and English knew they could trust me. They relied on me to help speak with each other. The character trait they refer me to is dependable. In what ways do your friends, family, and classmates depend on you?

  28. Here is a timeline of my life: 1700 1733 (0-10 yrs old) Lived in Creek Village of Coweta 1715 (33 yrs old) Oglethorpe came to talk to the Creeks. This was my first time to as Oglethorpe’s interpreter.

Some children had to start working at the age of 5!

  39. In our time, all children are allowed to go to school. It does not matter how much money your family has! You are all very lucky! Using the chart below, write down 4 things that you enjoy about school!

  40. My job before colonizing Georgia… Before coming to Georgia, I worked for Parliament. I tried to make laws that helped out poorer people. I also had compassion for people who were in prison due to debt.

  41. I asked the King of Spain, King George II, for permission to bring some of the recently released prisoners to a new colony that I wanted to start. He agreed! That was the first step to founding Georgia ( which was named after King George II). I wanted to give these people land and tools to become great famers to be able to support their families! Why did I decide to found Georgia? Good Question!

  42. I chose land along the Savannah River to settle the colony on. I named the settlement Savannah. I divided the land into 4 sections and decided where buildings and streets would go .

  45. I am Tomochichi, chief of the Creek Indians that live in Georgia. At the time, Creek Indians lived near Savannah. I was their chief. When James Oglethorpe first moved to Georgia I wanted to become friends so that the Indians and Georgians could be friends. Because of our friendship, we were able to live in peace with each other and work the land together.

  46. I am a very special Creek Indian. I can speak both the Creek language AND English. No one else can do this. My chief, Tomochichi can’t speak English. I helped Oglethorpe and Tomochichi talk to each other. My name is Mary Musgrove. I am a Creek Indian. A B C D E ξ β α δ Ψ ζ
