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!

Query: My name is Nicki Fincher. My mother was adopted at six weeks old and we were told her mother was from a reservation and full blooded Cherokee. Adoption records are sealed and my adopted grandmother has died taking the truth with her, so we really don't have much to go by. My mom name is Pricilla Strickland born July 6, 1960 in Murfreesboro, TN according to her birth certificate. I was just wondering if you knew of any websites or any headquarters I could call to see if there is some kind of reunion or lost and found (I don't know how to word it!) to see if maybe she is looking for my mom too. Rumor has it she was 16 or so when she had my mom so that would now make her about 64 yrs old or so. Any help you could give me would be SO appreciated!

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?

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.
