Thomas married Delilia Tyree, daughter of John Tyree, who shows up in the Arkansas Territory Census, then later in Benton Co. John was also on a few probate records before 1860. I have not had much time to study this lately, but that is the most recent of my research. If Delilah was Cherokee, you would have to find John on the Census. He did travel from Virginia, to Kentucky, to Arkansas, along the same route, but if he does not show up in the Census', then another sibling on the Dawes, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to track your line directly to the Dawes Roll of 1904 to register. If you need anything more, or if you find out anything I haven't, please let me know. I have been researching this line for 14 years now. Thank you Cherri Wilkerson
