    3. Speaking of Melungeons... My great-great grandmother, Mary Anniebelle Turner Cook was said to be part Indian. I have found no other information on her on the internet or anywhere I have looked. I also don't know any of her relatives. I don't know where she was born, but it was in either TN, NC, or Ala. My family has a large picture of her taken before she died in the late 1890s. She is Indian, but I don't know if she could also be part black (most likely the other main component of the Melungeon) or Portugese (another possible lineage of the "Black Dutch" in the South). She lived in Hardin County,TN (where I think she was born) and married James Alexander Cook either there or in McNairy County, TN. She died rather young and was buried in Pisgah Cemetary in McNairy Co., near Shiloh. In my family they say that her son, my great-grandfather Winfred Sutton Cook, played on the battlefield of Shiloh when he was growing up. Also buried in the same cemetary are a Uriah and most likely his wife. He is old enough to be her father, but I don't know right now that he definitely was or not. Does anyone have a Uriah, or Eriah in their family from TN, or since they were right on the border with Mississippi, Tishomingo Co., where some of the family lived. If you can help me please do, this is a major wall in my family.
