Nancy THe list of reservee's is at www.tngenweb.org. It wasn't a land cession since they were being offered land. The cessions were mostly in the land bordering Cherokee lands at that time. Several were in McMinn, Monroe, Roane...most were in Georgia and Alabama but you can see all that on this list. The list is also on footnote.com in the original image from the microfilm as are many of the agency records of Southwest Point, Hiwassee Garrison and Calhoun Another list is within the American State Papers which you can find at www.rootsweb.com/~tnpolk2 If there is a particular name you are looking for I will look for you Joyce Gaston Reece -------------------------------------------------- From: "Nancy McGinty" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 10:50 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Cherokee Circle] land cessions > 'Siyo > > Thanks for the reply, but I may have been asking for the wrong thing. > There was an attempt to "civilize" or make citizens of some of the > Cherokees in 1817.

Joyce, Thanks, I found the list of names. I have no idea of what the INdian name might have been. I'm not sure where to go next with this, but I have a feeling that I can find what I am looking for. The land records in Knoxville may not go back before 1820 and then may be sketchy after 1820. I don't know how an Indian would leave his land to his heir unless with a will. I probably need to spread our from Knox county. Nancy McG On Sat, Feb 6, 2010 at 11:40 AM, Joyce G.
