Found something exciting.  I can finally put some faces with some names I know well.    http://www.cherokeehumanities.com/images/Images.html   Cherokee Humanities has posted some of the folks who tie to the Sheltons.   Mostly here you will find the Christie family.  Watt (Wa-de Wa-ki-gu May Christie is Spencer Shelton's brother-in-law.  Spencer's wife (Watt's sister) is Susie Christie.  Grandmother Tsa-tsi Da-la-si-ni Christie married Betsy Young & Robert Shelton married Rebecca Young.  Rebecca & her child died on the Trail of Tears.  They were with Lt. Harris' company.  One of the photos labeled as Lydia Thrower is Watt's wife.  Ned is Watt's son.  Just found out there is a plaque to him in OK.  Goback (also called Return) Christie is another son of Watt.  I've been told we're also related to Springfrog but I forgot how.  Happy New Year!   Sheila Shelton Gibson

John Ross is thought to be our ancestor through his granddaughter Peggy Ross who married into our Riggs line. I understand however that John Ross had very little Cherokee ancestry. I do not know of a connection to my Shelton line.
