Sallie had a half brother Bill Millwood, lived in Lynchburg, Virginia I have also searched the Rolls. I have always been told we are Cherokee, I am trying to find which side it come down. does anyone lead me in the direction where to find the above. Have you checked the records in states joining the border ? Border lines changed at different times in history and some states were a part of another state at one time in history so the records are not always where we expect them to be.

yes I have checked the states that border, but I am going to double check those again. I know my ancestors were stubbon people, maybe they just did not answer the door when the census taker came. Thank you I will double check the boading states again susan smathers ----- Original Message ----- From: <GLewis2035@aol.com> To: <CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2006 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] lost ancestors > > In a message dated 5/7/2006 6:36:39 AM Central Daylight Time, > susan56@tampabay.rr.com writes: > > Sallie Self married Tilton or Tillain Hill > James Ervin Hill born in White Plains, S.C. or Greenville, S.C. > James Ervin Hill married Catherine Geneva Bright. lived in Gaffney, S.C. > James and Geneva moved to Asheville, N.C. about 1942. > Sallie had a half brother Bill Millwood, lived in Lynchburg, Virginia > I have also searched the Rolls.
