The Otterlifter family is from Nancy Ward. David Keith Hampton has them in 'Cherokee Mixed Bloods" Vol 1, The Ward family. He does provide resources and I'd advise you to check them out before writing anything in stone. Does Thomas not tell who Nelson's parent were on the application? Richard Fields is of the Grant/Emory line.

August 16, 1876 married to Antonia Smith ? Thomas' Dawes Packet Cher # 1650. His Eastern Cherokee Application # is 12851. Thomas and Antonia lived in the Warner (Pope Chapel) area in Muskogee County Okla. They had about 8 children. "Granny Mac" (Antonia) and one of her children's family were our next door neighbors (give or take a few miles). Many of their children moved to the Yuba City California area. Am not researching this line, just curious. A familiar name and early childhood friend. Thomas McDaniel, son of Sarah Simmons (daughter of Henry and Mary (Otterlifter)Simmons) and Nelson McDaniel (son of John/Johnson McDaniel and Martha (Lee) McDaniel). Sarah later married Thomas Fields, son of Richard Fields and Rachel Fields. Their son, Cornelius B. Fields, Eastern Cherokee Application #5086, gives an extensive list of his family lines. wanda =====*NOTICE THIS*===== this is a generic list; and not topic specific because certain chatting is required to do genealogy; and sort fact from fiction.
