All I have are board messages that reveal that my GG=grandparents, Mary Ann Ryan (Brogden) and Clayburn/Claiborn Brogden had four children. One of which is mentioned to have be largely Choctaw. Her name was Missouri Jane Brogden and she married a John MacElyea. The MacElyea are thought to be Cherokee and the Brogdens Choctaw. Thomas C. MacElyea #40584 in Tennessee, Charlotte Brogden #31181 in Tennessee, Lilly AF Brogdon #2260 in Georgia are on the Eastern Cherokee Roll of 1909. Please email me if you know of any of these people, it is urgent. bmkfwk@sbcglobal.net. Thanks Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
