    1. [FOX] Re: Fox/Cherokee roots
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GKX.2ACIB/6955.2.1.1 Message Board Post: I'am also looking for the Fox link. I was told that G grand father was a cherokee. My grand father's mother died during child birth or soon after.That his grandmother Shonkwiler said that she would raise him and is father could not take him when he was older. My grandfather was born Oct 15 1899 in Independence Indiana.Since his grandmother raised him he had taken her last name.It was never talked about just mention that his last name should be Fox. At my grandfathers funeral Oct 2,1974 His stepmother was there her name is Elizabeth M. Fox. She lived in Hebron In. I was able to track to death records she lived to be 90. She was born.Aug.2 1888 and died June 1979. Her maiden name was Coatney. Then after reading that native american where not buried in white cemeteries I will have difficulty in finding my g-grandfather grave.Then I also have learned that native american didn't write things down they were passed form person to person.The information that Sherri received was most likely correct. If by chance anyone should know the name of Elizabeth M.Fox husband name I would like to know it.
