This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SSB.2ACE/2204 Message Board Post: Broad River Genealogical Society has received a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council's Humanities Forum, a Speakers Bureau of the NCHC. This grant entitles this non-profit organization to schedule two outstanding speakers at Cleveland County Memorial Library. On Saturday, April 23, 2005, at 10:00 a.m., William (Bill) Anderson will be presenting a program entitled "Cherokee Removal". The removal of the Cherokee Nation from its homeland in the Southeast to a new territory beyond the Mississippi remains a compelling and controversial event in United States history. The Cherokee, more than any other Native American people, tried to adopt Anglo-American culture. In a remarkably short time, they transformed their society and modified their traditional culture in order to conform to United States policy, to fulfill the expectations of white politicians and philanthropists, and most importantly, to preserve tribal integrity. On the eve of Cherokee removal, many white Americans considered them to be the most "civilized" of all native peoples. Why then were the Cherokees removed? Dr. Anderson is a History Professor at Western Carolina University where he specializes in Native American history, in particular the Cherokee culture. He i! s a graduate of the University of Alabama. Dr. Anderson continued his research through post-doctoral work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He is also the editor of "The Journal of Cherokee Studies". Dr. Anderson received the Gustavus Myers Award for the Study of Human Rights in the U.S. for his book, "Cherokee Removal: Before and After." Also speaking on Saturday, April 23, 2005 is Anne Rogers. She will be presenting a program at 12:30 p.m. entitled, "Cherokee Ceremonial Practices in the 1800's". The Cherokee ceremonial practices were first recorded in the 1830s by John Howard Payne and later in that century by James Mooney. This presentation describes the ceremonies that were practiced during this time, and discusses various aspects of Cherokee life at that time that are still evident in their lives and culture. Included is a discussion of various dances that are still performed today as well as the tales that continue to be told in story telling sessions. Ms. Rogers is an Anthropology Professor from Western Carolina University where she specializes in archaeology and Native American studies. She has conducted archaeological research for more than 20 years in the Southern Appalachian region, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. Her research in Native American studies has focused ! on the Cherokee, both past and present. Both presentations will be held in the large conference room of Cleveland County Memorial Library. Presentations are free to the public and everyone is welcome. However to ensure adequate seating and supply of materials, a sign up sheet is available at the library and also at Broad River Genealogical Society's Archives located at 1145 County Home Road. It's not necessary to sign up, just helpful. There will be a lunch break from 11:30 to 12:30. Lunch is not provided. For further information, call Beverly Barnes at 704-482-5166 or Heather Robbins at 704-471-9197.

Searching for any info on Sarah Elizabeth Robison, she lived in Lincoln County, in the early 1800 time frame, Married John Peter Rinck in 1805 and they had several children in N.C. , about 1817 they went to Warren Co. Tenn, one of the daughters Eliza ended up living there. Around 1835 they moved to Washington County, Indiana where they are buried. Children were Eliza , Sarah , Eli and Lawson Rink. It is possible that Sarah was born in South Carolina, I would love to know who her parents and sibling were. John and Sarah married in Lincoln County. If you have a Sarah E. Robison/Robinson in your line would love to share info with you. Thank you

Surnames: ROBINSON, BRYANT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SSB.2ACE/2200.1.1 Message Board Post: Sheila, Thanks for the info. The second set of information is spot on. That's definitely my grandmother and family. I've found some leads on the ROBINSON side, which lead to Cherokee County in NC. My grandfather's father was a Frank ROBINSON, who was born in either TN or OH (conflicting sources). However, he married an Ella J. BRYANT, who was from Cherokee County, NC. They moved to Cleveland, TN at some point. I'm still trying to follow those leads. Thanks again for the info. John

In the 1850 Catawba County, Newton Census was Jesse Petiller/ Petillo/Patillo age 25 a wife Melinda I believe age 17. I am searching for any living family memeber off this line, His father was James Petillo from Lincoln Co., Jesse was the son of James and Margaret Ikerd born out of wedlock. It is very important for me to find a member of this Petillo line. The father James, moved back to Tenn and died in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jesse was born about 1825 time frame in Lincoln co. N.C. I do not know where he ended up living after the 1850 census. He was in Catawba County at that time. I am searching for anyone off this line for DNA purposes. I am willing to pay for a 12 marker DNA on any Petillo line from Lincoln or Catawba County, N.C. A rare gene has been found in another member who is a half brother to Jesse, It is extremely important to see if these two lines carry this gene. Thanks
