Barbara Lewis
Query: My friend is trying to locate her genealogy but is new to all this. Her grandmother was Avis Coleman who married John Colvan Turner. They lived in Louisiana. Avis had sisters listed on back of photo as Lena and Lela they both looked quite Native American but Avis was more white appearing. The story goes that their mother was senet away because she perhaps was pregnant. She was a young woman who married - we think Henry Coleman in Louisiana who was a full blooded Cherokee - the 1910 census shows more children and that the mother's name was Bosheby and that she was about 40 years younger than he was. Any help? The 1910 census was from Winn County LA.

Query: We are trying to track down any information concerning my husbands geneology that was hand written by his great grandmother.

We are not sure that this is enough information to find anything, but it is all we have to go on. It would be my husband's Great Great Great Grandmother. My husband is currently 25 years old.

Penny Anderson Feigel
Query: I am looking for any information about my family. Specifically my Great Grandmothers. From Copan, Oklahoma. My Grandparents were Pearl COKE (Cocke), 1911, and Robert E. ANDERSON, 1909. Both born in Arkansas. Pearl's parents were Jacob COKE, 1889, and Minnie MATTINGLY, 1871. Robert's parents were Clinton E. ANDERSON, 1877, and Sarah LUCAS, 1882. (However within ten years - between two censuses - he remarried a Rhonda, I assume Sarah passed away). There is a Sarah Lucas, maiden name of Stills on the Dawes Roll, but I do not think they are the same. She had children with the surname of Silcox (Silcotts). I can not find any ancestry on the two great grandmothers. They are Cherokee, the Lucas lineage is said to go back to Texas. The Cokes go back to North Carolina and surrounding areas (Leverette, Terrell, Slaughter, and Spains are some names) All my aunts and uncles were born on the reservation in OK and my father born in Illinois. Someone may have known them that's on here now. I do not have great details, but grew up being told that on one side (never which) my great grandmother and her mother survived the Trail of Tears, and that my Grandparents were bitter about the railroad coming through their land, and they didn't get anything for it because they left too soon. (I've read the history, and the years don't make much sense to me, but maybe the great-grandparents). I have found my great grandparents names only by ordering copies of my grandparents death certificates. When I asked as a child, I never would get an answer. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I have three years of research in now, and I'm currently searching rolls page by page. Good luck to everyone else on here. And remember, that peice of paper will never tell different than what you what you already know in your heart. Thanks to the AllThingsCherokee Site for showing me that three years ago!

My Great grandmother Riddle on my fathers side married a man who was either full blooded or half blooded Cherokee Indian. I believe they lived in Haskell Oklahoma. They had several children. My grandmother being one of them. Her name was Ann Riddle. Her siblings names are Dovie Riddle, Donnie Riddle, Ershel Riddle and Ruth Riddle. I think I have their names right. There are more siblings, but don't remember their names. Can you check for records that prove my Indian heritage through my grandmother Ann Riddle? Haskell or Muskogee in Oklahoma are two towns where you should check for these records. Thanks ... look foward to hearing from you.

Query: Researching for a friend - John Thomas McCracken was son of Alfred McCracken and Lucy Marie Howe who was part indian. Lucy and Alfred were married 3/19/1839 in Orange Co, IA. She was the daughter of Nathan Howe and Desire Starks. The couple moved to Cedar Co, IA in 6/8/1842. Lucy Howe came to Cedar County IA in 1841 with her parents. They settled on a farm southwest of Tipton. Lucy was born 11/22/1821 in IN and died in Tipton on 12/27/1908. At the time of her death she had 2 sisters still living - Sarah Baker and Mary Wilson. I'm trying to find out Lucy Howe's cherokee bloodline connection. It's urgent because my friend desperately needs medical attention and cannot afford to get it - we are hoping finding this connection, he will be eligible for benefits.

Pamela
Query: My great, great-grandfather was Wiley W. Glover, born 1865. He was married to Sarah - sometimes referred to as Ella. One of their children was Pearl (my great-grandmother Gantt). Her child was Bernice Polly Gantt Harris (my grand-mother - her siblings: Audine and J.W. Gantt). According to my grandmother, Grand-daddy Glover was Cherokee. I am trying to research my ancestry, but my grandmother and mother passed away not too long ago, so my family resources are more than limited. My mother told me before she died that we have relatives in Oklahoma. However, I am uncertain of names. According to Census records, Wiley W. Glover was born in GA - but my grand-mother stated that at some time he lived in Alabama and Arkansas (this would have been between 1865 and 1880). His mother, Agness, was widowed sometime between 1865 and 1880. I believe Wiley's father was named Wiley as well - however, I am not 100% certain of that fact. This may be a long shot, but I am looking for any information that would connect ancestry. Is there anyone who might know the above Glovers, Gantts or Harris' of the Atlanta/Alpharetta/Big Creek-Forsyth Co./Smyrna-Cobb Co. Georgia area?

Joe McDonald
Query: This is my story and please don’t delete it without reading it. We may be related. All my life I have been told by all my family our gggrandmother was full blood Cherokee, but after many years of research I could not find her “Pain/Payne” family with Cherokee connections. One day about 3 years ago I was talking to my uncle and asked him why I can’t find the connection. He said I never would because he was told by his grandmother the daughter of Tempe Pain/Payne that she was sold to Mr. Pain/Payne when she was a little girl. His story was that a man brought her and 2 other little Cherokee girls by the Pain/Payne farm in Buncombe County one day between 1815 and 1820 and Mr. Pain/Payne bought her because she was the biggest and strongest of the three. She assumed the Pain/Payne name and in about 1834 she married Aaron Pinkney Freeman. Has anyone heard of such a story before? Would there be any way to find her real family? Any help would be greatly appreicated.
