(Rowan)marries Eli Varner b.1795 in Davidson Co. NC. Rebecca is their only child (supposedly)b. 1826 in Davidson Co. NC. Rebecca marries Juke Alva Goss b. 1820 in Davidson Co. NC. (fAMILY FOLKLORE WAS; REBECCA WAS A FULL-BLOODED CHEROKEE INDIAN. However, I now find out her father, Eli Varner was of German descent. His parents supposedly John Varner Jr. and Rebecca Davis. Does anyone know if Elizabeth Williams Varner was a Cherokee Indian which would make Rebecca half-cherokee. Rebecca moves to Missouri with her husband and the Goss family. However, I now learn she is buried in Lick Creek Baptist Cemetary. Did she return there after the death of her husband? Why? Eli Varner evidently divorces Elizabeth Williams Varner as he remarries twice to a Bell and then another Bell. Elizabeth Williams Varner dies years later than Eli Varner so divorce must have been the case. Can anyone please help me with this information. The abo! ve are my ancestors. Thank you.
