Who is Mary Musgrove?

Answer 1

Mary Musgrove (c. 1700-1765) facilitated in the development of Colonial Georgia and became an important intermediary between Creek Indians and the English colonists. She bridged the gap between two distinctly different societies and became a cultural mediator, who not only translated but counseled those who acknowledged her capabilities. She attempted to carve out a life that merged both cultures and fought for her rights in both worlds. Coosaponakeesa was the daughter of a Tuckabachhee lower Creek Indian woman and Edward Griffin, a Carolina trader from Charles Town, South Carolina. Her mother died when Coosaponakeesa was nine years old, and soon after, she was taken into custody of her father. She later became known by her Christian and married names, Mary Musgrove Matthews Bosomworth.She decided that she would be named Mary by having her father read her a story of a woman who was royal from The Bible. Coosaponakeesa was born in the key Creek town of Coweta, and she came from a prestigious matrilineal family. Her mother was claimed to be the sister of Brims, an important headman of Coweta.[1]
