Melissa Doneghue
Query: I am interested in finding anyone with any connection to the Kitts (Little Fox). My family ancester Misiniah Kitts came from S. Carolina and was married to Jerimiah Outland in Calloway Co., KY before moving to Union Co., Il. She is buried here and I have visited her gravesite. There is also a Chief John Fox buried in the same cemetary. If anyone has any information I would love to know more. She is one of the only ancestors that we can trace with Cherokee heritage. It is believed that Outland was a Quaker Escort on the Trail of Tears. There is alot of family debate and I would love to be the one to crack the case.
