Is anyone familiar with the Cheek Reservation located in Marshall County AL in the years around 1880-1890 or so? It was a Cherokee Reservation and was just NW of the Gunter Reservation and SE of the Thompson Reservation. Also, I am searching for any information concerning my great grandparents, Robert E (Dock) WILKINS and Fannie FLOYD WILKINS. Primarily their time was spent in GA where both were born, all of their children were born in Chattooga Co, GA except for one, Earnie WILKINS born 12-15-1887 on the Cheek Reservation in Marshall Co, AL. I do not know where they were after they left the reservation, but I do know that the entire family was in Bossier Parish, LA in 1910, per the Federal Census for that year. In 1910, Robert E Wilkins was 60 years old. Robert E (Dock) WILKINS parents were alleged to have walked the Trail of Tears, but I am not able to find out their names thus far, so anyone with help or suggestions of where to look will be appreciated. My search has been a long and difficult one, so I don't expect it to get any easier!! But, 3 years ago when I started all I know was my own grandfather's name and nothing else, so progress is being made!!! Thanks for any information, websites, or suggestions! Brenda Wilkins Hudson
