My mother is Billie Jeanne Hill/Hager married to James E. Hager, Her mother is Nellie Elizabeth Threlkeld/Hill married to Cleetus Hill, her mother was Nora Laswell/Charles HenryThrelkeld, his parents where Richard Threlkeld and Margaret Kissire her mother and father where Soloman and Malvina Kissire. I found a William M. Dunn (maybe Malvina's Father) in the Cherokee/Dawes list and he had a daughter named Malvina. When my mother was little she remembers grandma malvina they called her grandma Bird and Grandpa Charlie. We have pictures of them. She is very much Indian as is Grandpa Charlie. We have carried the kissires back pretty much but Malvina just drops off. I have found margaret and Richard in the early census but Malvina and Solomon are no where. I show that Solomon was born in 1831 and Melvina was born about 1834.
