Dear Jo Ann; I descend from the Sizemores out of Clay County, Kentucky. Do you have the contact info of the lady who has done all the research? I saw the "Wall Street Journal" article and some links from that discussed part of the family being Cherokee and part being something else. Part of the discussion centers around Red Bird Sizemore, if I recall correctly off the top of my head without digging through three rather thick files on my Collins which had intermarried with the Sizemores. Now getting back to Wilkes County North Carolina genealogy, if there's anyone in Wilkes' county working on Walkers, particularly on the descendants of Daly Walker who was in Burke County in 1778 and then Wilkes by 1796, I'd like to know that also. I'm going more than a little bonkers trying to identify the James Walker who was the FATHER of my William Dale/Daly (has been written both ways) Walker b. 1821-22 North Carolina. I figured with the middle name of Dale/Daly he probably was connected to the Walkers of Wilkes Co., or at least that was a good place to start looking. Sincerely, Cecilia L.

Celia, The Sizemore's came from VA. If one of them married a Cherokee, that person could register with tribe under the ancestor who was Cherokee. No Sizemore surname ( comming from VA ) was accepted. Joy King ( who StandingBear so rudely psted to ) is in charge of the Sizemore DNA project at Family Tree DNA. She is the one who has put the Sizemore DNA together to prove that they were Indian. I believe she has descendats of George " All " Sizemore and John Sizemore of the Wilkes/Ashe area as being Indian. This is off the top of my head. You would have to contact Joy and she would be able to give you more info on your Sizemore line.

Dear Jo Ann and group; I have Andrew Collins b. 1811 Clay County, KY married to Elizabeth Ann Sizemore b. 1815 in Clay County, KY. Just before 1840 they went to Missouri. Andrew was the oldest son of Bradley Collins of Orange Co., NC and elsewhere in North Carolina b. 1787 and who married as his 2ND wife, Jane Ray in Orange Co., NC in 1817. Bradley was first married in 1807/8 and had as his oldest daughter, Keziah Collins, b. 1809. He had some half brothers and sisters who were mulatto but he himself was always listed as white, though there is some indication he may have been part (like only about a quarter) Native American. Andrew Collins (son of Bradley) and his sons were mostly blonde and blue-eyed. NOTE: My Bradley Collins is NOT the same Bradley Collins that Brenda Dillon has been chasing around in the records. Brenda Dillon Collins' has a different Bradley Collins who WAS listed as mixed race--half black and Native American or so in combination with white. The Collins of Floyd County--and then later some in Clay were not the Collins who were in North Carolina. The Floyd County Collins are mostly connected to Montgomery County, Virginia and elsewhere. The connections to Virginia are pretty well documented. There is also no evidence that the Bradley Collins who married Jane Ray in 1817 and from his first marriage had Keziah, Andrew and ???(at least two other children) was the son of Meredith Collins. Since I don't know who the parents of Elizabeth Ann ("Betsy") Sizemore were, I don't know if she connects with the infamous Mr. Riddle. I wouldn't be surprised either way. I have one other infamous Tory line among dozens of patriots also, so it's hard to be greatly surprised at this point. ;-) I also am chasing down a Lemar family--half of which, along with half of my Landrums/Lendrums went to Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears." I suspect my Lemar ancestor was a full brother of the one who went to Oklahoma and made a devil's bargain to keep his property in Tennessee by renouncing tribal affiliation. The Lemars have a problem in proving identity since they were also French Huguenot in addition to allegedly being part Native American. The dark hair and eyes could have come from either. ;-) Then there is the Arnold family... I'm down to finding the last three or four generations max on all my mother's lines after 40 years of research. I'm trying to finish writing a family history at least back to the point of European immigration (for those who came from Europe in the past 400 years) before the end of my own life. I don't want to become another Lyman Draper, driving my nieces and nephews nuts with boxes of files, etc. that have never been completely arranged and put into a finished history. I'll look up the lady you mentioned. Sincerely, Cecilia L.
