My questions is this. Isham Russell and Permedia Roberts Chisum is in my family line and Isham was called "orkenmnastata Mennwkalulu" and was the son of John and Margaret Chisum, and she was the daughter of William (1724) and Deborah Cooke Chisum. Or at least another family member traced this line back. How do I find what Native American Nation they were from. Isham Russell wa bor 1775 in VA and died in 1829 Covington Co, MS. Permedia was born 1780 KY and died after Dec 1852 and was the daughter of George and Ronda Walling Roberts. My thinking is they were Cherokee, but they could have been Chowtaw and as I've hit brick walls on those lists I am far from getting proof that I'm on the right line. I do know this that the Chisum was in Nacogdoches in the 1834 Republic of Mexico. Any help would be appreciated. Adiene
