My father was Will A. Henry son on John & Lou. I started out trying to find the "Cherokee" relationship, its not there. I have traced Thomas and Minerva to 1850 in the Georgia Census. I can't find anything on Thomas before 1850. I have a new clue and I am currently checking out a Thomas C. Henry in South Carolina. In the 1850 Census Thomas is listed as being born in Tennessee and Minerva and William in South Carolina, John in Georgia. In the 1860 Census Minerva, William & John were back in Tennessee Thomas was not listed. We have many stories about Thomas and I have tried to document all and have not been successful. The Cherokee is one of the stories. I have checked with the Historical Society Indian section and was told if Thomas or John ever listed himself as white he lost his Indian Heritage. I have also found a Thomas Henry in Alabama with a mother who was a Choctaw. If you have a last name for Minerva I would appreciate knowing what it was. This is another way we will find Thomas. Wish you good luck
