When Coosaponakeesa was almost ten, she moved in with her fathers family in Charles town, South Carolina.
She learned English and how to speak English. English settlers gave her a new name - Mary. Mary lived in a new house in Charleston. Mary's old house wasn't made of brick and wood like the ones in Charleston.

James Oglethorpe came to Georgia to make a settlement. He asked Mary Musgrove if she could help him communcate. Because she helped the Creek and new settlers trade, they could live together peacefully.
