IMy husband has been hospitalized for a serious illness, and I am just now getting back into the 'genealogicial' swing of things and doing my research. If anyone has contacted me personally for information that I might have please do so again, so I can be of helps Is anyone tracing the following lines: Salley/Salley Edwards ('mulatto or native american" who md. or was common in law wife or slave to Jesse Barrett Lydia Barrett (possibly md. a Griffin/Griffith/Griffis/Grifen who md. Irven Allen. Daughter Lucinda (of the Clay County Allens) b. 1856 md. George Frazier/Frasure/Frasier for 1 yr, had daugher Ollie and divorced and was living with 'aunt' 'Giney Grifen" (misspellings courtesy of census taker) who was listed as 'mulatto" (native american-family has had DNA test- mother is 25% native american) and Lucinda then married JK Martin. Gramps insisted that Joe and Giney received Indian allottment monies; there are nearly 100 Griffens on various Indian rolls, and to send for each application packet to verify family information would cost a small fortune! Some records show Ollie as Frasier and others including school record show her as "Ollie Martin"....George Frazier disappeared and probably remarried. I think his family may have been Solomon Frazier line, but not sure. Ollie went on to marry Ameridith Combs-I have the Combs line back to Englnd- and they traveled to Oklahoma in 1907 where she gave birth to my grandfather in 1908. Family tradition says that she was a schoolteacher like her stepfather JK Martin, and taught Indian children in or around Seminole Oklahoma where Granpa was born. I have searched official school records in that area, and come up empty. Lastly, my mother brings native blood from both of her lines. And it is said that several relatives on both the Allen/Combs/Frazier side and her maternal side of: Sergent/Hensley/Lewis/Smith/Hall/Holt/Pennington/Jenkins,etc perished on The Trail of Tears...Is anyone's research heading that way? If any out there might see a connection, please contact me: moonrose2u@yahoo.com Karen L. Fielding RN,C BS CMSRN

Jesse Barrett is my ggg grandfather. My record shows that he had two children by whom we think was an Indian woman because of the designation of "Black" on the census report. I have contact with one of the descendents of this union. Other than the children's names we have no other info on her. Would like to share info with you.
