OK Markie I am looking for an Indian connection in my family. A few of us belive that there is a connection and then there are those who do not!! There are a few possible relatives, but nobody has evr found the proof nor really looked until I got involved. My great grand mother: Eliza Francis SHEPPARD was born in Wetumpka, AL 1856. She and her family traveled up from AL by boat to AR in 1870. She married James Gaston MORRISON 27 Dec 1888 in Prairie County, AR. She died and is buried in Gibson County, TN. Her mother was Martha Jane WILLLIAMS from Harris County, GA. My great great grand mother: Matilda Ann KIMBRO/KIMBROUGH was born 30 Jan 1837 in Gibson County, TN. Her father was John KIMBRO/KIMBROUGH who owned several large tracks of land in AR & TN. She married James Alexander MORRISON 3 Nov 1853 in Gibson County, TN. She died 1893 and is buried in Prairie County, AR. My grand mother was Cora Mae CHISHOLM born in Hayti, MO 30 Jul 1907. Her brother was Calvin David CHISHOLM born Hayti, MO Sep 1909 and died Hot Springs, AR Sep 1963. Their mother (according to her death certificate) was Molley BRANDON from southern KY in 1884. Molley's mother was Charity POWERS from KY. I have been told that my grand mother, Cora, was always refered to as a "squaw" and not welcome in the homes of some in-laws. Her brother, Calvin David, was a carney and had the nick name of "Chief". I think those are my possibilities. Now to just find the connection. I am looking fdor who my connection is with and to which tribe.
