Verna, I don't have all the dates listed, but I do know that many of the Arkansas County sites have prison records. Here is the URL for one of my sites http://www.arkansasgenealogy.com/lawrence/k1920.htm I couldn't find a listing for each of the county sites but you might be able to with a little searching. I didn't find your Clebern Henry, but I did find these at http://www.rootsweb.com/~arfrankl/ Rose, Levi A. 21 & Mary E. Henry 18 December 20, 1876 by Zachariah Hopper, J.P. P#266 Henry, T.

P#93 A Henry as JP I didn't search the cemetery records, but they do have quite a few cemeteries listed on their pages. I found a listing for Isabella HENRY and that she was born in SC in April 1864 on Ancestry World Tree, along with 2 others that have the same info as you do. I found this on Ancestry World Tree. Hope some of this helps.

Hello everyone, I am new and this is my first post so I hope I do it right. I am searching for information on Eli Davis of Giles or Montgomery County Virginia. He is the father of Amanda Davis who was Cherokee. Amanda married in Giles Co., Va. July 4,1846. I have no source for her mother as only her father Eli was on the marriage as a witness along with Green Davis who I believe is a brother to Eli. If any of these name can connect with you please email me. Tammy Tolbert Hudson

Judy and list, To start with I apologize for having made some of these names out of order with the list assignment of letter designations. However, because of the intricately woven aspects to certain names, I felt that it was better to post a single email with a lot of information, over a few emails that might not have made any correlations to the other lines. Please do forgive the breech in honoring your request to the list. Further more, I have just recently started this, since I am the next generation to be in charge of the genealogy I'm having to go back and verify everything that was given to me in these extensive lines and trees. This is no small task and tracking down birth/death certs and other relevant information has become a task in patience with time willing being at a premium because I myself am going to school full time along with life. So please bear with me on this...for I am new at it. I was asked by family members on both lines to attempt to confirm the validity of any Native American stories floating in the oral history. This is exactly what I'm doing. I think more than anything else, the family members that have expressed an interest merely wish to know if the stories are true. I'm of the same opinion, in that knowing where a family came from is a source of pride and respect for one's past, which can be given to the future generations. At this point in time, I've been unable to find any of the names on any of the rolls, so I'm looking more for information about possible connections to current or post recognized families to just verity the stories. WIth that having been said...Here we go with the information. :} ASHERBRAUNER, Katie (sp?) (sisters - Tina and Polly - no information other than they lived with Katie and John, oral family history) Birth Unknown - circa 1700 (approximated Guess based on child's birth date) Death Unknown - circa 1860's (approximated guess based on child's birth date) Unknown Date of marriage, married to John Franklin Hudson (Dates also unknown - courthouse fire in Lincoln County, North Carolina) There has been a reoccurring story in the family history that was suppressed by the majority of the elder family members that Katie ASHERBRAUNER HUDSON was reported to be Cherokee. Because of the fires in the Lincoln County Courthouse supporting documentation is sketchy at best as to dates, and where from. They had two children one named Fannie that we have no other information on. The other, my direct line, is Emma Elizabeth HUDSON born August 02, 1854 somewhere in North Carolina and died Dec. 14, 1928, in Lincolnton, North Carolina who married Burton Craig WOOD in June 03, 1885 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. Burton Craig WOOD was born June 25, 1853 and died on May 17, 1929, all in Lincoln County, North Carolina. It is reported that after Burton's first wife died, he went to Cherokee to meet and marry. Currently looking for ONLY Katie ASHERBRAUNER(sp?) (and/or her sisters) and Emma Elizabeth HUDSON ***SEPERATE FAMILY LINE*** Miriam Eliza GULLICK Born Feb. 26, 1848 - Henderson county, North Carolina Died: Dec. 11, 1911 - Catawba County, North Carolina Married: circa 1869 to: George Washington KESTLER(may also be KESSLER, but all accounts point to KESTLER) Born: May 05, 1849 - Greenville, South Carolina Died: July 09, 1913 - Hendersonville, North Carolina Parents of both are unknown. Only known Child is Emma Gullick KESTLER, Born July 09, 1875 - Hendersonville, North Carolina and died 1933 - Catawba County, North Carolina. Emma Gullick KESTLER married Amidas A. Whitener, Born 1874 - Catawba County, North Carolina, Died 1958 - same. It is reported through family history, that the KESTLER and GULLICK families may have come from the Mississippi areas and were thought to have been either in part or in full living near or on native lands in that area. As of yet, I have been unable to confirm this for lack of parents names, and continue to search diligently as time allows for these names. ***This line is connected to Amidas A. Whitener*** ***Sarah WHISENHUNT and Eli WHITENER are his Grandparents through his father's side *** Sarah WHISENHUNT Married Eli Whitener on Feb. 18 1834 in Catawba County. Her origins are unknown. And the family files do not list anything for her family other than names. Based on Eli's Birth was March 05, 1810 and his death was January 11, 1894. It is possible that Sarah's dates are somewhere around those of Eli's but unknown at this time. Sarah WHISENHUNT's parents are John WHISENHUNT and Eve WHISENHUNT. No further information. Thank you for your time and patience in this very long Email. Craig

Bill, Maybe you didn't receive may email from earlier this am. At this time we are doing a roll call and I gave some guidelines on how to post your query. Providing two surnames does not give the reader a clue to who you are looking for, where they lived, and during what time period. So if you missed that post, here is what it said: Lately when some of you have a posted I see messages that just say send me all the information on Jones (this could be any name) Surname, period, end of message. That is not the intent of the mailing list, I don't have that list of Surnames and most of you don't either. When writing to the list you should say which surname or names you are researching, when, where and why. The why is important also because you sometimes provide clues to other members of your family. This list has grown considerably since it was started and we now have just a little over 400 members. I have never done a roll call on the list, but....I know tell me I am crazy! We will do that using the following schedule. A-H Surnames -- Sept. 21 thru 23 I-P Surnames -- Sept. 24 thru 26 Q-Z Surnames -- Sept. 27 thru 29 No Surname -- Sept. 30 thru Oct 2 (No Surname, example John Little Bear) Surnames and only surnames should be in caps. (For the Newbie, Surname is the last name) Date of Birth and where Date of Death and where Date of Marriage and where Names of Parents, brothers and sisters Other Surnames associated with this family. Briefly tell us where you have searched (Census, birth, death and marriage certificates, wills, probate, and rolls) Messages written ALL IN CAPS ARE VERY HARD TO READ, some even say you are shouting, and maybe you are, you have reached the point of frustration and feel like you have hit that brick wall!! Good hunting and when you have some free time, please visit my home pages at http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native where you will find rolls, books, research guides, treaties, bios, genealogies, cemeteries and more.

One of my surnames is BREWER. I have no idea who was supposed to have the Cherokee blood. It has been very difficult to trace. Some of my ancestors include: Willis B. Brewer (1799), Nathan Thomas Brewer (1759), Elizabeth Brewer ( 1833). It appears that my Brewer's started in North Carolina moving to Tennessee and then to Kentucky.

Hello, My maiden surname is Campbell. My grandmother Campbell (maiden surname Pritts from Indian Head, Fayette County, PA) told me that we have Cherokee from her mother's side of the family. This would be my greatgrandmother and her maiden name was Barckley, not sure of the spelling. It would be her mother that was full-blooded Cherokee and this would be my greatgreatgrandmother. She married an Englishman by the last surname of Barckley. I am not sure what there first names were or what her maiden surname was. Hope this can be of some help to you.

Hi to this List! Am hoping to find surnames of my great-grandparents and grandmother here. Grandmother Pearl Mae Enlow (Enloe/Inloe?) was supposed to have been Cherokee, born in northern Georgia, town of Estelle, Walker County about 1897. Estelle is now a ghost-town. Pearl's marriages: 1) Stanfield in Chattanooga, TN. @1915. Son: Carl. 2) Tobinski in Chicago, Illinois, 1918. Children: Ettie Louise & LeBlanche.Ettie Louise was born in Chattanooga, 1919. 3) Sweet in Louisville, Kentucky, 1924. Don't know if they had children. Places she lived: Estelle & LaFayette, Georgia Chattanooga, Tennessee LaPorte and Knox, Indiana Chicago & East St. Louis, Illinois Louisville, Kentucky St. Louis, Missouri LOST all trail of her in 1934 in east St. Louis, Missouri. Have no idea if she remarried after Sweet or when/where/how she died! Pearl's parents: John & Rebecca (Chambers) Enlow/Enloe/Inloe. They were in Estelle, Georgia at her birth, but I have NEVER been able to find them anytime after that and know nothing else about them! Thinking they MIGHT have died by the time she was 14, because I THINK I found Pearl listed in Hamilton County Industrial School And Farm in 1910. ???? HELP, PLEASE!

I am researching Simuel EVANS and his wife Sarah. They came to Lawrence/Fulton Co AR from TN. Children were said to be half Cherokee so I don't know who was Cherokee, Simmy or Sarah. Don't know what part of TN. Simuel S. F. EVANS (name as listed on land grant) was born 3/6/1796 and died 3/9/1856. Sarah was born in 1809. They were married before 1824 either in TN or AR. They had 11 children namely Sarah, Mary, Dulcena B., Elija O. D., John M. B., Napoleon B., Caleb J., Jane, Nancy, Pacific and Atlantic. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably an impossible task. My mother doesn't remember much except that her father's mother was the daugter of a Cherokee Indian. Her father was English and supposedly a mayor of Philadelphia.Her name was Zefferina.They lived in Philadelphia. She was in her late 80's when I was around 10. That was 45 years ago. My grandfathers middle name was Goodwin,my uncles was Kenworthy. They were last names of some family member. My great grandmothers married name was Bowers.My mother thinks the tribe was from New Jersey.Does this make sense to anyone? Pat.

jefferies is of the saponi tribe in Orange county,

I know
