Kelley Cato
Query: Help! On Jan 6, 2006, my adoptive son, Jacob Wesley, was born. He is a very small percentage Cherokee. He has been in our family for five months and now the Nation has decided to exercise the ICWA to remove him. I have always heard there is Cherokee heritage in several branches of my family tree. I have traced one line back to Chief Eagle Plume who was around when John Smith landed in Jamestown. I cannot find any definite answers/information on whether or not he was Cherokee. Obviously it was way before the rolls, which I don't think my ancestors signed. I also have a grandmother who stayed in NC while her sister Elizabeth Ann Parker-Owens came to OK on the Trail of Tears. If you have any info on either of these two people, PLEASE email me at KTCATO@aol.com, or call me at 972-849-5992, and help me keep my family together. Thank you, Kelley Cato PS the court date is 6-28-06 so please put our family on your prayer list.

Gail Swan
Query: My g grandmother was Mary Elizabeth WRIGHT, born in 1865 and died in 1925. She was from Orangeburg SC and she married Thomas SHAW SWAN from North Carolina. In the Census,Thomas identified her a "Full Blooded Cherokee" and he identified himself as "Half Cherokee." I am surprised the Census Taker let him do that because there was no space for Race, he had the census taker draw a line through Place of Birth for both of them. That let's me believe that he was proud of their heritage and wanted to leave a message for his ancestors. My grandfather always said that his parents were Indians. Thomas Shaw SWAN, and my grandfather Milton SWAN had features that were more Indian than African American. The mixture was probably from Anna Rogers MITCHELL (mother of Thomas) who was from North Carolina and, as far as I know, she was African American. The only Elizabeth WRIGHT that I can find in Orangeburg during that time period is identified as BLACK in the Census. I have no photographs of her sorry to say. Thank you for helping me to sort this out.

Query: I am trying to research a family story which I have proved to be mostly true. The story goes that John Dawson, a full blood Cherokee indian married a french woman who bore him 2 sons. These 2 sons were kidnapped by John Dawsons brother who was Chief Dawson, Chief of the Indian Tribe. Chief Dawson raised the boys for 9 years because he wanted them to learn the Indian ways. The story goes that the name Dawson was changed to Vancil to avoid the big Massacre? One of the sons is named John Dawson Vancil or Vansill, born in 1824 possibly in Illinois. His brother's name I am not sure of, but possibly Edward. I know that John Dawson Vancil died in Choctaw co, Ok in 1914. He was married 3 times and had a wide range of kids. If this sounds familiar to anyone, or if anyone could shed any light on this, please email me. Thanks again!
