Jan Goldsby-Klein

John Redmond Stevens
Query: Hi, Jim - Found your query at the All Things Cherokee site and thought I´d put in my two cents: Nathan Allen Sanders 1819-1898 TN-AR was my 3x great grandfather´s brother (John L. Sanders who married Mary Ann Hogan). They all lived in or around Searcy/Van Buren Counties, AR. My unsubstantiated records show that Nathan Allen first married Eady Lovitt about 1840 and had four children. He then married about 1854 Kizziah Kissey Brown and had eight children, among whom was Claircy Caldonia Sanders (born 1863 AR) who married James Firestone. I assume this James is your great grandfather. I have no further information regarding them. Kizziah Brown, however, I show as daughter of Elisha Brown who was born about 1806 in South Carolina. Elisha apparently moved to Missouri where Kizziah (Kissey) was born and then to Searcy Co, AR, where he is shown in the 1840 census (with no wife but with other children). Elisha, apparently, was the son of Samuel Brown who was born about 1772 in the Pendleton District of SC. Samuel was in the 1840 Searcy County census as were several other of his sons. As to whether Kizziah was the Cherokee lady whose name sounded like "Ka-Car" I have no idea - except that virtually EVERY family line I´ve traced through Searcy County has the same family tradition of a Cherokee grandmother. Never a grandfather. Yours is the first, however, to even guess at a name. Interestingly, Kizziah's uncle, Joseph, who married Kizziah Ragland, are described in one query as both "full-blooded Indian" (Brown Family GenForum http://www.genforum.com/brown/). One person thought they might have been Choctaw but later somehow found out they weren't. My grandmother was Mima Redman, daughter of Oscar Redman and Martha Ann Sanders, and she, too, related the Native American grandparent tradition - although she didn´t know if it was in the Sanders or Redman lines or elsewhere. One of my sisters has an old photograph of a lady dressed in 1850´s fashion but with Native American accoutrements in her hair - on the back of the photograph someone had written, "Indian-looking:" We have no idea who the lady is. Well, this doesn´t answer your query but it does give you a lead on Nathan's wife, Kizziah - whose Brown lineage many people are researching. Regards,

Nikki
Query: To anyone who can help me, I am grateful. My mother's side of the family is Cherokee, but proving it has been hard. My great great grandfather's name was George Henry Nafus and we believe his brother's name was Joel Nafus. George was an indian scout in the civil war, but his military records do not specifically indicate "cherokee"; we know this only by family confirmation. If it helps, my grandfather's name was Edward Nafus. We have suspicion that perhaps the spelling of the last name went wrong somewhere. I am not sure where the original Nafus' came from but my grandfater resided in Pennsylvania, a far off distance from Oklahoma. Any leads would be great.

Query: Recently, I have begun the task of trying to locate information for my mother regarding our family. She along with (2) brothers and (1) sister were abandonded as young children. One brother and a sister were placed in an orphanage in NC. She and another brother were placed in seperate foster homes in NC. My aunt told my mother that their mother, my grandmother, was Indian, I would assume that being from NC they were probably Cherokee. My aunt does not want to give any more information. All that we know is that my grandmother's maiden name was (according to birth certificates) of my mother and one of her siblings, had two (2) different spellings. It is showing the first name as Elmira or Elmina Sandlin on one and Sanderlin on another. My grandmother's (maiden name was Prosser). She was married to William Sandlin/Sanderlin? My mother's foster parents were Manly and Allie Dean (Daniels maiden name) Fulcher (deceased) of NC. Both of her brothers and her sister, as well as, herself were born in NC. If anyone has information on a William Sandlin/Sanderlin or Elmira/Elmina (or something close to that spelling) (Prosser) Sandlin/Sanderlin that would be of great interest and sooooo helpful. There are also two half sisters, fathered by William Sandlin/Sanderlin, they don't seem to know anything about my grandfather either. If you have information regarding William Sandlin I would also be interested in that as well. As I would like to trace his ancestry. If any of these names remotely sound familiar, please contact me. I have searched and searched to no avail. It is, as all of you know, who are also searching, very frustrating not know anything about your family, especially in regards to your immediate family.

Lisa
Query: My grandfather's family has always been our family's mystery. What I've heard to, was that he was of Indian (Cherokee/Iroquois/Mohawk nation) background as well as maybe Irish, Scottish, French, Spanish, and Negro. All along I have been told he was everything except Negro. I have reason to believe he was as well. I still believe however, that he had Indian in his background. We never knew his relatives at all. They were never spoken about or visited. (Although, I did hear that his brothers visited my grandparents when they were first married and they were very dark. My grandfather isn't dark. I do also understand that he had 13 brothers and sisters; what the breakdown of siblings was, I don't know. He had a one brother named Eugene and at least one sister. His parent's names were either Edward and Laura (Lara) or David and Laura (Lara) or Edward David/David Edward.). So, in my searching here's what I have learned (taken it with a "grain of salt" too.). His name was William Mabins/Mabi(u)ns Parrish (William Mabins Parrish); born January 27, 1894 in Rougemont, NC. Lived in Baltimore, MD for a period of time and was married to "Carrie" who was from NJ; they lived in MD, and he worked for the B : O RR. They lived on Poppleton Street in Maryland -I've got them on the census. William was in WW I; Ind 10/27/17 Pvt.; Pvt. 1class 12/14/17; corp 1/24/18, Btry A 351 FA, Hon disch 3/5/19, Overseas 6/19/18 to 2/16/19, Marbache Sector. We believe he deserted "Carrie". Then shortly afterwards, starts a life with my grandmother Lucy Ann Butler of Bridgeton, NJ. We also believe that the "Mabins" stood for his mother's maiden name. There is a "road block" they're as well. While working for the B : O RR, my grandfather was witness to his best friend's murder. His friend was playing cards on the train while my grandpop worked as a porter. His friend was accused of cheating and was shot dead on the spot in front of my grandfather and other card players. I would love to find out the name of his friend. William M. Parrish also lived in Bridgeton, NJ just prior to marrying Lucy Ann Butler. (That's where they met. The story goes that he was walking down the street and spotted my grandmother sitting on the porch and fell in love instantly!) They moved for a short time just outside of Philia, PA near the Philia. Butlers. Then moved to Dunellun/Piscataway, NJ where they resided the remainder of their lives. Some other jobs held by my grandfather were - mortician's helper, foundry worker, and a security guard at a Muhlenberg hospital in NJ. If this sounds like someone in your family or someone your family knew of, please contact me as I'm slowly finding out bit pieces of my grandfathers' mysterious past and have hit a major "brick wall". Any input at all would be greatly appreciated.

James Jackson Reavis and Mary Elizabeth Williams were married in Cherokee County Georgia in 1844. Martha Jane told the family that her Dad, Tom Reavis, was half Cherokee, and that her Grandmother, Elizabeth Williams was full blood Cherokee. I can not find any records of any kind on Elizabeth Williams, before she married James Jackson Reavis. I would like to know what her parents names where. My Dad is in his "70's", and has asked me to find out if he was part Cherokee, as he was told. I want to know who her parents/family were, so my Great Great Grandchildren know who they are, if they have Indian blood, I want them aware of/ and proud of that ( my husbands family on his mothers side came from Iceland, my children are very aware of their Viking heritage) If they do not, I want to be able to leave something telling them who they were, and where they came from.

I have heard of a John Ferguson SR. who was said to have married an Amy lycan too I but I don't know if this is related but it is interesting anyway. Jane Jenny Vaughan, b. 1800, Cabell, Virginia; d. Aft. 1870; m. (1) John Ferguson Jr, Abt. 1815, Cabell, VA; m. (2) John Ferguson, 1815, Cabell, Virginia. They begot a Martha Vaughan who married Goodwin Lycan.

(2) other husband of Martha Vaughan; m. (3) Goodwin Lycan, February 5, 1817; m. (4) Goodwin Lycan, February 5, 1817.

Malcom Walker
Query: I am living in New Zealand. My father was fostered from birth and the surname he has (and mine)is that of his real mother. I remember as a child, him telling me that when he eventually found his birth mother he found out information about his father and he told me that his grandfather (my great grandfather) was Cherokee and had come to New Zealand for the Otago Gold rushes. This would be some time in the period 1860 to 1880. At that time there was a large traffic of miners from Australia and California who came to New Zealand following the rushes here so it is possible that this "family story" has some basis in fact. I guess this is a long shot as I dont have any further info, but if any one knows of any of their family that could have made this trip I would be interested to hear from them.

He had twins with Stacy and eventually left and has never been seen again. We think he was a logger of some sort but did not work too much. He probably was born early 1900's (from 1910-1920, perhaps earlier?) If anyone has any information on anything related to this, please email me. ANY info would be greatly appreciated.

Jennifer Crunkleton
Query: I am doing the genealogy for four families. In my work I discovered the name George Guess in my mother-in-law's family. She talked to some other family members about this entry and they all insist that the George Guess in her family is the George Guess known also as Sequoyah. The only way I know to verify these rumors for my M.i.L. is if I could find info on him to verify with family. Does anyone have info such as Sequoyah's wife childrens' names & dates? It would be very helpful in settling the uncertainty. Thanks in advance!

Crystal Jensen
Query: Letter regarding a girl named Beulah, child of Charled Ed Baker; GrDaughter of Charles W. Baker; a man named George Miller; and Kate Baker (?) residing on a reservation IT, OK. Anyone have info on these people? I think George Miller was Cherokee. Am trying to locate info on Beulah and Kate Baker? Miller? Beulah was a small child in 1888, I have a picture of her taken in Nevada, Mo. Letter to Charles W. Baker, Alton, Illinois
Bartlesville, I.T. August 19, 1888 Dr. Sir,
I recieved a letter from Nell yesterday giving me a complete history of Kate and Geo Millers, proceeding before they left Nevada. (Note this is Nevada, Mo) They are living here now with Frank and his family. I would have nothing to do with them, as sinners I suspicioned them and then he sent for Frank and family knowing that he had become so digraded that he should work with him as he pleased. I understand Miller and Kate occupies the same room every night and it would be no trouble to prove it. I intend to have them put off the reservation or if they don't go when notified they will have to answer for their crime at the U.S. Court at Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I am determined they shall leave here let it comewhat it may. I will not have them around me that is a sure thing. Nell advised me to write to you and advise you to come and get Beulah, for it is a shame to have her grow up in disgrace for she is a sweet child and as smart as can be and you are the proper one to have her. If you come after her you had better bring an officer with you as there maybe not be one handy here when you come. I think the sooner you act - the better it will be for if they fly from here there is no telling where they will go. Yours Respy,
Geo H. Schroeder
Debra McAffrey Clements
Query: I am looking for information on my father, Andrew Clinton McAffrey (nickname Buster) from Tulsa, Oklahoma. His father's name was Bud, although that could have been a nickname. His mother's name was Ada or Ida. She died in childbirth, probably around 1925?. My father was born July 10, 1914. He died on Feb 5, 1963 in Charlotte, NC. I was 10 years old, then. He married Lois Carter from Lexington, North Carolina. That would have been around 1938 in Lexington, NC. After my father died, we lost contact with his relatives. Bud would have died around 1959. I vaguely remember hearing about that and I think I was about 8. My father had 13 brothers and sisters, some sibling names: Sonny, Hugh, Hiawatha, Mildred, Cleo, Kenneth, Raymond?, Pearl?, Ronnie?. So, there should be a large family. My father was in the military (WWII). I believe one of his brothers was killed in the war (WWII). I know my father was part Cherokee Indian. I am trying to trace my background. I would like to find some of his brothers and/or sisters, if any are still living. If you have any information on him, or any of his relatives, please contact me.
