Hello my question is: But what about people who were say 1/4 Cherokee ancestry when they moved to Wilson Co. Tennessee from Virginia in say 1805. They could have been related to the Cherokee that were located in Virginia in the 1700's. How would you trace that since they may not have claimed being a part of the tribe in the late 1700's since they did not live with the tribe? And may not have even known early in their life who their father was. Then what would you use to find the Cherokee ancestry?
