Hi, some enterred through Port of New Orleans and walked the Natchez Trace northeast. , and other port towns on the Mississippi. Also, some may have stopped in Caribean plantations before enterring the Continental U.S. I think it was a Cleveland, Coffee, or Graves which didso. Been a while since I read it. Some also enterred the U.S. through Flrida and other seaports on the Gulf of Mexico. Others enterred through Mexico and were married in Mayesville and Fort Smith, Ark. A Telles who did so was an ancestor of Mattie Roberts Somerville, a Wyly descendant of West Monroe , La. My Fleming Ancestor , Patrick, was naturalized in Calloway County, Missouri. I have a copy of the record. Take care, Charles A. Wyly On Sun, 13 May 2001 17:19:21 EDT KAOCR@aol.com writes: > In 1830, your ancestor may have entered the U.S. thru S.
