MATTOX ELLEN 073 HARRISON 11-09-1932 052 25826 1932

This means of course that she was born about 1859. We have no idea what her tribal name was, but she married Joseph M.

G. Norris
Query: My 4+ great grandfather is buried in an old indian burial graveyard in Fayette, County Alabama. To my knowledge my grandfather was not an American Indian. All family records tell the same story that Charles Daniel Lucas is buried in an Old Indian grave yard on the old "Mince Hughes" place. There are 10 Indians buried there. My grandfather has a marker and people who have been there tell me that there is evidence of other graves. My question is why isn't this area marked as historic so it can be protected. How can I go about finding out "who" all is buried there and "why" my grandfather was buried there? I have tried to find out about American Indians in Fayette County, Alabama but have come up with nothing.

Elaine LAMAR
Query: My ggrandfather's name was Joseph Chatman JACKSON, he was born in IL, his father TN and mother Kentucky. He was Cherokee, but parents were killed when he was young. He was old enough to know his last name, but not his parents first names. He may have had a brother named James, but all of the older relatives have passed on, so there is no one to ask. However, I was wondering if there would be any family that might be searching from the other end for this misssing part of their family. My dad was very proud of his Cherokee heritage, (even before it became popular). We have some pictures of him as a grown man. He was a very intelligent man, black hair, brown eyes and brown skin, small of stature. Any information would be wonderful.

Query: I am looking to find any information on my great grandmother, about whom I know very little. Her name was supposedly Elizabeth Bailey. She had grown up on a reservation, but we don't know even what tribe. She met her husband, Samuel Thompson, in Missouri. They moved to Newton, IL and had several children, including my grandfather, Thomas Thompson, who was born in 1899 in Missouri and died in 1966 in Robinson, IL. One of Thomas' siblings was named Robert. Tom was a war veteran and some is known of his history, but nothing of his parents. Thanks for any help I can get.

Query: I would like some information on Sally McCoy. It is told that she is my grandmothers great-great-grandmother and she was Cherokee. She had a child from her first marriage to a Native American who is my grandmothers greatgrandfather. She later married a black man with the last name Christian and was cut from the tribe. Then somewhere down the line a lawsuit was filed. My question is, Is there any truth to this story and how could I get more information?
