On the Family Tree Maker Census Index CDs for 1810 and 1820, I ran across a John and a Richard CLARK, which shows that they resided in, instead of a county in Alabama, "Cherokee Nation Lands". Obviously, that was not a county, and was still owned by the Cherokees at that time. I was unable to find them on the actual Alabama Censuses for those years, and FTM was unable to tell me their source for those entries. Does anyone know where I could find this info.? If these 2 Clarks resided on Cherokee Lands, why did the Census taker go onto those lands and include them in the U.S. Census? Were there White settlers on Cherokee Lands in 1810-1820? Thanks for any info. or suggestions... Gregory R. Aymond Alexandria, Louisiana
