My great grandfather is Samuel Alexander and my grandfather is Nick Alexander. I am also trying to research our family. Are you related to my grandfather? I would love to find out more about Martha Amanda Nicholas. I believe that was her name, Grandpa could have been wrong on that. He says she was Cherokee and was adopted. Do you know if that is true? I would appreciate any info you have. Thank you!!! Nicole
