Helen, I cannot find anything in the Cherokee books. I have also searched South Carolina - especially Edgefield, and Georgetown around 1800 (Squires in the 1800 SC Census were in those counties) - wills, deeds, Passports, ancestors, census and newspapers. I found your postings on some of the paid subscription sites that I checked but nothing more than you already have. In the military, Andrew Squires is the only Squires listed. In all of SCMAR (South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research) there were two entries to the effect that Mr. Squires two children are sick and Mr. Squires two children died - 1844. I'm so sorry that I couldn't help you. Dee All lookup requests will be permanently archived on the Bladen County Genweb site.

(Ask for "anything" as a request.) I give you my word. I'm looking for validation and source citactions. I'm looking for one of two surnames ... SQUIRES or SQUIRREL (or SQUIRRELL) This is the same line/person. I just learned Monday night that the Squires line came from the Squirrel line. I received the information from a reliabe source, a licensed genealogist, who has researched the Squires line for over 30 years. She says that Nancy Ward and Chief John Squires are in the family tree. Timeline would be late 1700's (like 1790) to 1860's. I use those dates because I'm not sure when my ancestor, Wiley Squires was born. The guessed date is 1800 in South Carolina. No one can figure out who his father was so I'm wondering if that's when the transition of the names occurred? Areas to consider would be Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. (One son, William Russell Nelson Squires, was born in MS in 1824 and another son, William Wiley Squires, was born in 1828 in Alabama.) Wiley is thought to have died in Santa Rosa County, Florida anywhere from 1860 to 1870. His wife's name was Ruth. Last name not proven yet. I talked to someone who says he and Ruth are buried in a cemetery named Backbone in Ellijay, Georgia but haven't found anything close to that yet. I'm not asking for you to look in all those places. I'm just trying to give you enough information that you might be able to match to him at any time during his life. I appreciate your help, Dee. I'm very grateful.

She was answering my post and provided a link I could research.(I was looking for the Cherokee city in Georgia.) Can you please tell me what type of information I need to supply for you to do a look up? Thank you, Helen Squires Cunningham
