Daniel Maxwell
Query: I have been researching my family tree and have hit a roadblock. The rumors within my family is because it becomes Cherokee where I have stopped. The situation is that Nathan Earls (Born 1862 and died 1930) married an Eliza Davis (unsure of any dates) in 1891 in Claiborne County, TN. They had 5 kids I think named Mable, Ollie, Tip, and I cant think of the other two kids. The rumors are that Eliza Davis is full blooded Cherokee and came from North Carolina. I cannot figure how she received the name Eliza Davis and who her parents are or if you even can find any documentation on her that would be great. If you have any ideas please let me know. I would really, really appreciate it.
Connie J. Sides
Query: I was adopted as a baby. I later found my bio mother and she told me about my father, who she said is Cherokee.

My mother's name was Betty, from a small town close to Topeka. I know this isn't much to go on, but I thought it might ring a bell to someone.

Melissa Pierce-Dansyh
Query: Surnames: White/Matlock/Gordon. Looking for info on my greatgreatgrandparents, Charles "Charley" H. Gordon, married Annie White in Boone Co, Arkansas, in 1891 Charley was 4/4 Cherokee Indian, parents were Jasper and Vanne Gordon? (one source thinks that Jasper became angry with his parents and left home, and that he took the last name of a family he either lived with or worked for). Charley was born 1861-1866, and Annie was born in abt 1870, daughter of John R. White and Martha Matlock. siblings of Annie- Eliza Jane, James, and John ML White, all born in Boone Co, Arkansas. It is possible that Annie was also Cherokee, but according to family info, I find it doubtful. Sibling of Charley- Frank. The parents were last known to live in Siloam Springs, Ark in the 1900s. Any info appreciated.

Joe Finnell
Query: My query is two-fold: First, the community I was born into, grew up in and now live in, is called Black Fox--just south of Cleveland, Tennessee. I had heard all my life that the area was named for a Cherokee chief but I have never been able to verify this. Was there a prominent Cherokee figure named Black Fox or is this story apocryphal? Secondly: While browsing the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial homepage--The Virtual Wall--I came across Robert Lee Blackfox. He was a Native-American from Talequah (sp?) Oklahoma. He was drafted and gave his life for our country in February of 1970. God rest his soul. I was wondering if there WAS a Black Fox personage of some historical significance, could Robert Lee be one of his decendents? If such were the case, the ironies would be tragically staggering. Thanks for whatever help you can give.

Jodie Henderson
Query: My name is Jodie Henderson, and my maiden name was Shipplett. My son is doing a project on Indians, and I was trying to research and verify the Indian heritage in our family so that he can do his research on the tribe of Indians that we are related to. My aunt Jewel, who now lives in Florida but who is from West Virginia, gave me the following info. On my dad’s side of the family (Shipplett) there is the following tree: 1My dad-William Earl Shipplett (1926-1995)
2His dad-William Carl Shipplett
3His grandfather-"Will" Shipplett
4His great Grandfather-(unsure of first name) Shipplett, married to an Indian named "Moomau" or "Moomaw." So, my dad is 1/8 indian. She thinks that the Indian woman named "Moomau" (last name??) was a Cherokee. Her tribe lived in Northern Virginia. I did a search on the ancestry plus database, and found: Father: Edward Shipplett
Mother: Harriett Moomau But I don’t think that is the right person, but it seems too coincidental to find a Shipplett and a Moomau for it not to be somehow related. Do you have any other info on the Shipplett/Moomau ancestry, especially any information on the name of Moomaw or Moomau as a part of the Cherokee Indian heritage?

Coradean Zike Camery
Query: My Great Grandmother was, Matilda Harris. The story told to me was at the age of 18 years old her mother walked," The Trail of Tears". I don't know who her parents were. Matilda Harris married a German, Samuel E. Cramer on 3 July 1851 in Morgon Co. MO. The had 5 children that I know of, Dan Cramer, Silas, Martha Ellen, Mary Ann,(my grandmother) and Fritz Cramer. I've searched for many years trying to find information about Matilda Harris and her family. I only found one Matilda Harris on the Dowes Rolls, it put her as age 8. I don't think the ages were right, but maybe it was recorded wrong. Does anyone know? My Grandmother Mary Ann Cramer married first a John Baughman, had four children. John was killed in a mining accident, then Mary Ann married second, my grandfather Thomas Franklin Gilbert. He was French and Cherokee. I found a census record that I believe was his parents. James, and Eliza Gilbert, in Polk Co, MO. It said they came from Ohio to Ind. James was killed, and Eliza, died. The two older boys,who were William, and James went into the Union army,(civil War) and didn't come home. Thomas Franklin Gilbert, served in the MO Militia. I know Thomas Franklin Gilbert, didn't register on the rolls. He distrusted them. So no help there. There was a daughter born to James, and Eliza. Gilbert after the 1850 cencus. Mary (Molly) Gilbert, she married a Dr. Benjimin Tinsley, I think in Clay Co. MO. They moved into the Territory, around Foyl, OK, and lived there for 40 years, and died there. If anyone can give me a clue on this family, I'd be so grateful.

Judy Trulove
Query: I have some info on Chief Glass. (1790's forward) His mark appears on several treaties. I am very anxious to link my ancestor Mary Sarah Glass, born 1806 in Ga. to The Glass. Sarah Mary married William Isaacks August 1821 and crossed into Texas in 1822. They were 'drafted' into Stephen F. Austin's "Old Three Hundred". Family lore has it that Chief Glass walked the Trail of Tears. My aunt who told me this has passed away and other living family members cannot or refuse to remember any other details handed down to them. Sarah Mary may have had a sister named Abby who married a John(?) Clark. I will share what I have of course. I am very eager to correspond with anyone who knows of this link. I believe my aunt's story is true because all other info she imparted has been historically documented.
