Query: I know I am at least 25% Cherokee in bloodline, my soul is 100%. I know who I am and I'm proud to be Cherokee. My great- grandfather is Otto Morris from Oklahoma and my grandmother is Bertha Morris. Bertha was born in 1910 and died in Arkansas in January 1933. My father was 9 months old then and the only surviving twin. His twin sister died at 6 months old, October 1932. the twins DOB was April 8, 1932. There was 3 girls born before the twins but one was still born. I was almost 21 when my father died in 1978. I never got to know my family due to their short life spans. I will be 50 next year and would love to just get to know a few details about them since I am probably pushing the clock. I'd like for my daughter to know where her dark hair came from. I'd also love to see a picture of my grandmother, I've been told that I only had to look into a mirror to see her. All I want from this is a few stories about my family to tell my twin grandchildren when they get here in February. They are all I have left of the bloodline, my son died last year at age 19. If anybody knows of any stories of my family and will tell me, I will go to Oklahoma to sit and listen and be eternally grateful. Patricia Karr "Lady Bug".

Veronica Kyle
Query: Hello, I would like to explore the possible reality of my Native American ancestory. My maternal great-grandmother was said to he full-blooded Cherokee from Alabama. She married a freed African and together they had two daughters, (my grandmother was one of them). My great-grandmother sadly died giving birth to my grandmother, thus leaving her with only her African father and his folks to raise her. Therefore she never knew any of her Native American relatives. I grew up looking at my grandmother and seeing clearly that she did not look African, but decidely Native American, my mother as well. My grandmother showed us pitures of her mother, who was so beautiful and very young. What does that make my mother and my siblings?

Query: My family has been trying to find information concerning the indian tribe my great grandmother came from. The difficulty in doing this centers around the fact that she was adopted by a white family when she was very young. I will give all the information I have, which isn't a great deal. Her adopted name was LIZZIE FOSTER also called NETTIE FOSTER. No birth records can be found for her. Her adopted parents names were JAMES W. FOSTER and wife SARAH E. FOSTER. I don't know when the adoption took place or where, it's belived to be in Okla. She married HENRY WATKINS age 21 on March 25, 1903. She was 18. The marriage too place in Wapello County in Iowa. It's believed that she was Cherokee and was adopted in Okla. I now this isn't much informaton. If someone could give me some advice on how to procede with this i'd appreciate it.

Query: Looking for information on Lucyella Phyledemar Hukill who was married to Charles Wesley Griffith. Couple moved to Jenny Lind ARK. Della Hukill is purported to be Cherokee or Choctaw and her husband C.W. Griffith is also thought to be part Native American. Della was an orphan and was adopted. I need to prove our indian heritage, please help me out here. No birth records that far back for her mother. I know that she came from California. "Lucyella Phydelman (Della) Hukill was born on December 29, 1872 in Sonoma, California to James Scott and Mary Elizabeth Hukill. James took Mary Elizabeth and his two daughters Minnie Zetta and Oregon Scott to California during the last part of the Reconstruction Era in Arkansas. Della's father, James Scott Hukill died on May 25, 1876 in Sebastian County, Arkansas. The couple moved to Huntington, Arkansas, to work in the coal mines there; as coal mining was very prominent in South Sebastian County. Charles went by the nickname, "Wes." Wes Griffith, died from a heart attack on April 4, 1927. Here is an article taken from the Southwest Times Record, "COAL WORKER FALL DEAD AT HUNTINGTON
Charles Wesley Griffith, 57 years old, a coal miner, fell dead on a street in Huntington, Monday. Heart disease is believed to have caused the death. Mr. Griffith is survived by his wife, one son, J. C. Griffith, his mother, Mrs. S. A. Griffith and a brother, Walter Griffith, all of Huntington, three daughters, Mrs. Grover Brown of Mansfield, Mrs. Jerome Hamm, Wetumpka, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Charles Westermoreland of Ponen City, Oklahoma and one sister, Mrs. Laura Moody, Fort Smith. Funeral arrangements are in complete pending arrival here of relatives. Mr. Griffith had lived here 19 years, was amember of the United Methodist Church and Hunting Lodge Number 498, of the Free and Accepted Masons." He and Della had five children: Jas G. Griffith, born June, 1891 in Sebastian County. No record of his death and I don't know where he is buried. Leas Everett was born November 1893 in Sebastian County. She died in the late 1980s in Arizona. Laffayett Griffith (Bob) was born October 1895 in Sebastian County. He died when he was 16 years old (around 1911). He is buried alongside his mother and father at Douglass Cemetery, in Jenny Lind, Arkansas. Cara "Helen" Griffith was born February 1896 in Sebastian County.

Coop Prairie is located in Mansfield, Arkansas, on the Scott County side of the town. Della died on February 8, 1961 from complications from diabetes. I do not have records of Wes being indian, but I have heard my grandmother say that he Dad was part indian. I had assumed Cherokee, but records I am looking at, plus the only picture I have of him, shows he does not have the physical characteristics of Cherokee. I was leaning to Choctaw,

Gladys M Hille
Query: I am trying to find my Cherokee people but I have absolutely no imformation on the person I am trying to find. This is the story that has been handed down from generation to generation. So here is the story: In 1814 Mary Mason was standing out in her front yard and she saw a young Indian woman running towards her and the young Indian woman had something in her arms and she ran up to Mary Mason and place a baby in her arms and told Mary to hide her baby and take care of him. Mary didn't know what the young woman was running from so Mary ran deep into the woods with the baby. The Indian woman ran off in the opposite direction. Mary Mason saw two Indian scout running as fast as they could and going in the direction the young Indian woman had gone. Soon the two Indian scouts came back with the young woman between them. Mary Mason never saw the young Indian woman again. Mary didn't have a name for the child nor a birthdate for him. Mary Mason named the child: Peter Hartless Mason and for his birthdate Peter was given the date the young woman gave him to Mary as the 14 Oct 1814. I have been searching many many years along with others that are kin to Peter H. Mason. We do know that Peter H. Mason is of the Cherokee Tribe but that is far as it goes. Peter Hartless Mason grew up to be a fine young man and he married Dianna Sorrells and they had 17 children. My grand father is the grandson of Peter H. Mason. If anyone out there can help me in any way to help locate his natural mother, please fill free to e-mail me. You will never know what this will mean to me. I thank you so much for your time and I appreciate all you have done.

Gailla Moser
Query: Hello, I am most curious about the Cherokee in my Eary side of the family, I believe it also used to be spelled Airy. Roan Eary was born in Tennessee but settled in Arkansas. He had at least two marriages, I know one of his wives was full-blooded Cherokee her last name was bell. Roan Eary is my great great grandfather and his daughter Sallie (Sarah) Eary was my great grandmother. I do not know who her mother was and I am unsure that it was Bell. Also, I believe at least one of Roan Eary's parents was Cherokee. Jacob, and Zachariah Eary or Airy were also married to Cherokee I think. There wives only had first names. It would be nice to know exactly how much if any Cherokee is left for me. Helms and Moser's are also my Surnames who may carry Cherokee lineage, however I am unsure where to start there. My grandfathers name was Edward Helms who married Sallie (Sarah) Helms. One last name is Shaffer Walter E Shaffer is my grandfather they settled in Kansas but first lived in Ohio. Thank you very much for any assistance you may be able to offer.
