I can't remember who was asking about this so I will post it to the list in hopes of connecting to the people/person who asked. Hiram Brady Thomas b. 5/28/1836, son of Charley and Sarah Brady Thomas, in Cherokee County Georgia which then was still Georgia Indian territory... Cherokee county was divided up and this particular section became Gilmer County. Hiram married Minerva Tucker the daughter of John Tucker I who was Conseenee in the Cherokee language. John was married to Ruby Holloway the daughter of Rueben and Nancy Holloway, pioneers to Gilmer. Rueben was the son of Rueben and Pinniah Holloway. Both Ruebens were born in Virginia. Hiram and Minerva later went to Indian Territory Oklahoma after years of farming here in Georgia. Minerva is recorded on the Dawes as being 1/4 Cherokee #2035 and Hiram who was a white man is also on the roll #226600 - perhaps as an adopted member. This information is from the Gilmer Heritage Book. Children of Conseenee (John I) and Ruby Tucker: Minerva Lewallen Nancy Rebecca Anna John II Sutiza Lucretia According to the researcher of this information John I Tucker known as Conseenee, was the son of John Conseenee Tucker and has often been stated as being an only child... however the researcher (Arsie Bigby an Oklahoma descendant) states that there were other siblings of John I; Jim Bud Bessimer Were supposedly raised by others after the death of John I's mother. Apparently John I's father remarried into the Walkingstick family and also has some half siblings. Hiram and Minerva Thomas' children: Nancy m. Wilson Walkingstick Martha m. Greenberry Calihan Caldonia m. Howard Tweedle John Animal Will Faubion James m. Allie Bryson Tina m. a Matthews Lucius Frank m Florence Arnold and Bessie Moreland Vandora m Jim Green and Howard Etter George m. Malinda Mathews and Susan Brewer The Thomas side of the family ties into our THOMAS lines... which is why I copied the information.
