My Great Grandmother (Christiana Levina Sewell) had a sister, Mary V. Sewell. Christiana married Thomas B. Carden 2/3/1885 in Clay County, Al.* Their daughter, Julia D. Carden married James D. Lee. Their son, Richard Marvn Lee ws my father. I cannot find any info about Pheriby's parents. Do you have anything on the Roper line? Christiana was first married to T. L. Tunnell 11/7/1877. About the Cherokee...I've always been told that my Great Grandmother was Cherokee??
