Ambrose was deeded land by Elizabeth Black around 1800, for love and affection, it can be assumed that Ambrose was her son-in-law. Elizabeth was married to Thomas Black he died in 1779, she then remarried abt 1800 to Morris Cox. I seen a break down of the 1790 census where there was a breakdown of national descent she listed herself as of English descent(England,Scotland). My curosity is sparked about this Cherokee blood. I know her husband Thomas was part of military actions against the Cherokee`s in the early 1770`s. I would like to know the info about the Cherokee line if anyone knows
