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.
