I've been researching my family's lines for years and just FINALLY came acoss some info that we've been looking for. My Gr Gr Grandmother's (EJ Garrison, b. 24 Oct 1854) brother (John R Dunham - my Gr Gr Uncle, b. 09 Jan 1871) applied with the Eastern Cherokee (the 1909 Guion Miller Rolls, app #16191), however was rejected due to not having the info needed (why his mother / father / grandmother weren't on the Old Settlers Roll, etc). He states on his application that his Gr Grandmother was Annie Ross, a "half-blood Cherokee" of the "Ross Indians". He states that the Cherokee blood came from his mother's side of the family. Annie Ross was born approx 1790 in TN. I don't think she's John Ross' sister because my Annie married a Hatfield, not a Nave. Do you have ANY information, or possibly know where I could go to find out, about this Annie Ross? I've searched EVERYWHERE that I can think of to look. I thought perhaps she might be a cousin of John Ross. Her daughter was Comfort Hatfield Pitman (b. 1808 TN), who married Daniel Pitman. Comfort's daughter is Annie Mae Pitman Dunham (m. E! lijah Dunham), my Gr Gr Gr Grandmother, b. 28 Jul 1833 in TN. Annie Mae Pitman Dunham supposedly enrolled at Talequah in 1866, but John Dunham says their copies of the application / documents, unfortunately, burned in a fire. Do you think the Cherokee Nation in Talequah might have copies of this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many Wados - Donada gohvi, Jan Hicks wolfdnce@bellsouth.net
