Elijah Messer served in Thomas's Legion, which had a full battalion of Cherokee Indians, along with the mountaineers. Elijah's brother George W. also served in the same company E, and they enlisted on the same day. Christina and Elijah were married 19th Dec. 1866 after the war. His grand daughter who knew him when she was a child, said that some of their children were very dark with dark eyes and several were fair. I have a photo of Christina who looks very Indian and is so much darker than the other family members in the photo. She was shown in many documents with different names, such as Matilda and Catherine and Malinda. Elijah always carried a medicine bag around his neck, so it seemed that he carried on some Indian ways. There is documented evidence that the Conards, referred to as Conrads married into the Cherokees. Jenny Taylor, a Scotswoman, married an English peer named James or Charles Fox. They had two sons, James and Charles Fox. She divorced and married a Hollander named Conrad and had a son named Hamilton. They along with her second son by Fox, Charles came to the US. Charles married a dau. of Nancy Ward,Jenny Walker. Nancy was the famous Cherokee woman, and Hamilton married Onai, of the Bird Clan. Those children with the name of Conrad were Rattlinggourd, Hair, Youngwolf, and Quatie. They were all born in the late 1700's in North Carolina. I don't know if this family was connected to George Conard. I do think that George may have been the son of a James and Elizabeth Conard who were in the area of Hayward Co. and show up on the census. George had a connection with the Davis family and I believe that the Davis cemetery sits on land that once belonged to George Conard. George married Chaney Williams dau. of Eleanor(Ellender) and Daniel Williams. I could find no Cherokee i! n the Williams family, but Ellender who was a midwife (maiden name unknown) may have been Indian. I was told in an e-mail that their daughter's name was Che-a-Nay but they could not offer proof other than saying it was in an old letter in their family. Christina Catherine Malinda Conard Messer named her youngest dau. Chanie. She died at age seven and was born with some strange disease and according to my husband's cousin who knew Elijah, was not "right in the head". Hope I haven't bored you.

I'm descended through George's daughter, Harriet who married Isaac Messer. My grandfather always said his grandpappy was "Indin." That would have been Melvin Messer, one of Harriet and Isaac's sons.

I have very little info about the Miller family. I would love to have more. I know the following: My grandfather had a brother, and that is it--Grandma Miller grew up in Emmett, Idaho, where Grandpa Baker had moved to become a farmer. I was told he was an academic, who wanted to become a farmer, so they moved to Emmett to build up a cherry tree farm; Ray, Kirby, and Thelma were her sibs, and Thelma had two boys, Harold and Howard. One was retarded, one was in the military. My mother was Madge, my father Mel, and I had a sister Ann (a year older than me), and brothers Mel (Mac) (8 years younger living in Helper, Utah) and Nathan (16 years younger who lives in Boise, ID. I haven't heard from Marilyn or Dick for years, but heard that Bobbie died from Non-Hodgkinson's Leukemia. I am married to Ralph S. Welsh, PhD (some of his research is available by typing his name into your browser)and I have four children, Regan, Sydney, Scott and Todd. and one (Sydney), and 4 grandchildren, Ian, Erin, Joshua and Jason. I'm delighted to hear from you, and would like to hear about my Miller past. I remember you, Bill and Bruce very well, saw Bruce years ago when he visitied CT, and I was very sad to hear about his sudden death. My sister, Ann, still keeps in contact with Madge, Aunt Francis's daughter. Heard nothing from Brad or Barbara, Millie's kids for years.
