A woman who is knowledgeable about the Cherokees said that they would never have named their children "Morning" anything. I however have always been told that our ancestry was Cherokee, Black Dutch, and Scotts-Irish. I come through, among other names, the LOLLEY side of the family, and would very much like to find out about them, as well as any stories, history, of the LOLLEY family from Alabama. Listed below, are some of the names in my family, if it rings a bell with anyone. My ggggrandparents were HENRY LOLLEY, married to AMERICA COLE. My gggrandparents were JAMES JOSEPH LOLLEY, married to MARY SULLENS. My ggrandparents were FREEMAN MONROE LOLLEY, married to ETHEL McCAIG. FREEMAN AND ETHEL lived all or most of their lives in Hackleburg, Alabama ***There is a mystery about FREEMAN I would like to find out about if anyone knows. My mother, remembers her grandpa taking her to meet his "2nd" family, but doesn't recall their names, whether or not his wife ETHEL knew about this, I don't know. When I've done a search for him, I get two different birth yrs, and two different wives for him, although, I must mention that one of the records says MONROE LOLLEY, married to a LINNEY KENEDY and the other, FREEMAN MONROE LOLLEY, married to ETHEL(McCAIG). I still believe these records may be of the same person, because of the 2nd family I mentioned, and also because, "both" men died in March of 1990(coincidence?) They also have diff. social security #'s, but still wonder.... FREEMAN and ETHEL had 8 children. 1)FREEMAN JR. 2)MAVIS 3)AVIS )TRAVIS 5)BETTY 6)DARLENE 7)VERBON 8)GLADYS (LOLLEY)SANDERS-My maternal grandmother, deceased, was previously married to JOE SANDERS, she also had 8 children: THOMAS, PATRICIA, ETHEL JANE, JOE ANN, KATHY, JUDY, DONNA JUNE, CINDA KAY ***There was a 9th child, my mom said he was called Arnold, but on the 1920 Census, I see a "Evier", and that could possibly be his real name. Arnold passed away in childhood of the "fever"*** I have some pictures of my grandma, GLADYS, and her parents, FREEMAN and ETHEL, AMERICA COLE LOLLEY, along with some other photos on my Myspace, if you'd care to see.
