Preston Coincidence???? David Keith Hampton is one of the top knotch Cherokee author/researchers in this country. He has followed up on Dr. Emmett Starr's History of the Cherokee Indian. Under the Sanders lineage on page 424 of "Cherokee Mixed Bloods" there is some very interesting information. Sallie Ah Ne Lah was born c 1829 Cherokee Nation East (this means the last holdings of Cherokee land just before the Removal). She married Wauhillau Eagle c 1848....Russell Peak c 1875. Died 7 June 1896 at Wauhillau, Tahlequah Dist Oklahoma Children Sallie bc 1865 no issue *Elizabeth Bettie Sanders b25 Nov 1867 at Wauhillau, Tahlequah Dist, Cherokee Nation, IT, now Oklahoma married WILLIAM HOLT, son of Terrapin "Dah gah see wee le Holt and Sa-lah Fivekiller on 9 August 1885 at Flint Dist (Oklahoma) Jennie Sanders 27 March 1869 NOW, I am searching for the wife of Samuel Lewis whose name was Bricey Holt. Bricey's granddaughter Lucinda Lewis married into the same ALBERTY descendents of *Elizabeth "Bettie" Sanders And you will recall that Eli Holt was given a Reservation at Running Water Town in 1817 because his wife of was Cherokee blood.

Looking for a William Holt that Married Cynthia White of Hardin Cty Tn ca 1847.Hardin is NW of Limestone County Al.ThisCynthia is supposed to have died early in marriage. There was a Cynthia Holt that married in limestone in 1867 that was Black ,and could reasonably have been connected to this family as the Holts of Hardin lived in Cynthia's area and were slave owners. There was a Community named Holtville alongsidethe Tn River Just North of Savannah.There may have been some WHITE surname children in this Holt family in the 1850 Census as both parents died mid 1840's and left minors.CAN ANYONE CONNECT??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce G.
