The last name was Cates. I wonder if they went the same time? cindy ----- Original Message ----- From: Susan Newell Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 5:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ILWAYNE-L] Cherokee History Hi Michele, I had Cherokee ancestors in Wayne Co. by the names of Horton..Leathers, Shehorn and Wilson. An author by the name of Ben Poore wrote a book called"Half-Breed in Johnsonville." I have tried and tried to find it with no success. On the site called "Illinois Trails" there was a mention of..."11 men set out early morning, from Johnsonville, Ill. for Indian Territory in OK. for land claims." My Cherokee Grmother was born there in a village or settlement. Would you want to look up any info on this for me until I can get there this Summer? Thanx!
