The following was posted by Diana [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) on the REEVES-List. I'm sending it here because I thought it might be of interest to someone on the JOHNSON-List. Please send questions to Diane, not me, I know nothing about these people. Marinell Johnson Reeves Finally, someone who has native american ties in the OK/TX area..... MY grandparents were from Olny ,TX. Rudyard Wesley Cox (aka Jesse Henderson Johnson) married Laura AVA Dunsworth. Lauras parents were Martha Ann Reeves born 12-22-1877 and Milton Ivy Dunsworth born 4-5-1878..... at least this was the info given to me. They were married in TN approx 1890. and moved to the OK area. Marthas parents were John Wm Reeves believed to have been born in OK and Martha ?, believed to be born in Mason Co, TX. We do know that we are decended from Cherokee and have ties to other tribes as well from marriages into the tribes. I have been at a dead end for years..... hoping to get some leads ...... Rudyards mother was Cherokee and her name was Charity Goin(g). from Tazwell, TN. and father Jesse Johnson,TN. He was adopted by Emmett and Fanny Cox. Martha may have been married to someone named Coffee OR lived in Coffe Co.(?) at one time.... that name comes up about with no explaination. Martha and Milton had 5 children that we know of: Bill (william) Milton, wilford, Elsie, Lucile (Lucybelle), and Laura, born in Lawton, OK. and died in 1973 in Olny, TX. HELP!! thanks, Diana
