I was going no where Until I looked Smiths on the Dawes rolls. Some are of Irish and English Descent. Cynthia was born in 1840 and died in 1911. No last name and so I cant go back any farther. Cynthia in Cherokee is(cun-a-wee-lah. Cynthia married a John Cannon, and had several children by him, Marianna,Margurett, and a couple of sons. Im hoping to hit soon, its been 10 years. Im at the point of paying someone. Marianna married a Southern he was from England and had my Grandmother Ollie(Southern)Atwell. Its really hard, you may want to try the immigrant census or do like me just keep leaving messages. I have a feeling if they were in that area they may of been of Native American Descent. Good Luck, I have a lot on the Smiths. You or anyone may email me at: cherokeeladyfox@cox.net
