I am looking for the parents and the Native American ancestry of James JACQUES and wife Rebecca MATHIS who appears on the 1850 Roane Co census. On this census (p.833) he is shown as JAGARSH, Jos. 24, Rebecca 22, Emily J. 1. James married Rebecca MATHIS in 1848 in Roane Co TN. On other documents he has appeared with the surnames JAQUES/JAGARSH/JAQUISH/JAGNISH/JAQUESS. On the 1880 Jackson Co AL census James is shown as JAQUESS and it indicates he was born in TN and his mother (name unknown) was born in TN. James appears on the 1900 Cullman Co AL census (p.38A) with his wife of 3 years Mary HALE. He is shown as 73 and born in April 1827 TN. The spelling on James' last name is JAQUISH. A candidate for James's father is Isaac JAQUISH who appears on the 1840 Polk Co TN census 221001-002001. On the 1850 census Isaac is listed on p.788 with the last name JAGNISH. On the 1830 census Isaac along with his brothers John Jr and Gabriel, and their father John Sr. separately appear. On this census John Sr. (age 70-80) is shown with two males under age 5 and one male 15-20. Is James one of these males under age 5? Is James the son of Isaac JAQUISH/JAGNISH? It is clear from family records and from photographs that James was Native American. What are his Native American roots? Cherokee? What Native American groups were in Roane Co TN in the 1820-1850 period? Was Rebecca MATHIS (the wife of James JACQUES) also Native American? Any help would be very appreciated.

I checked the Cherokee Roots Rolls Index for that area in 1850 and surrounding years and found none of the names you mentioned on them.... Monroe County, Tennessee was until 1819 the Hiawassee Cherokee District................
