finding family

December 11, 2020 by shrryadams 1 Comment

My grandmother’s name was Grace, her mother was Annie Marsh of the Wolf Clan. I’m trying to find some ancestral family members to help guide me to proving Native lineage.

    The known Alabama Cherokees that stayed behind after Removal in 1829 numbered less than 100 people, and were found with 14 surnames by the 1850s. Marsh is not one of the known names. You’d have to do standard genealogy to trace this line back further to establish any Cherokee connection. At this point, your query doesn’t have enough information for researcher to offer specific assistance. You’d have to provide more detail in order to narrow this person down. At this point, all someone could search for an Annie Marsh that lived in Alabama and had a daughter Grace. It’s hard to narrow that down definitively without a bit more detail.

    However, there is a potential candidate here. And I’m just throwing this out as one possibility.

    There is an Annie (Ham) Marsh, who was born in 1888 (died in 1961) and lived in Alabama and had a daughter named Grace. She married a George Marsh. Her parents were Jonathan T. Ham and Nancy Susan Taylor.

    Here’s her Findagrave page: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113594875/annie-h-marsh

    Is this the same person, by chance?

    As an aside, how would you know that Annie was Wolf Clan if you aren’t sure of her ancestral family members?
