Pam: I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no such thing as an "Indian Princess". She could have been the daughter of a Chief, but they were just that, not a Princess. I know how "family stories" go, as there are a lot in my family, but you need to do further research Since the Barker name came primarily from England, it is possible that your Barker married a Cherokee maiden, but it is her maiden name (possibly Indian name) that you need to find. What year are you talking about and what area? Do you have her husband's name? Children's names? I discovered that my Indian heritage came from a mixed Cherokee/white marriage also and it is very confusing to research. The family stories left out a whole generation! And the "Chief" that was on my side, was a white man that lived with the Cherokees and married an Indian woman and was known as "Chief Buck", but in fact was not an Indian chief as I had always heard.
