Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ABC.2ACE/3848.1.2 Message Board Post: I have no documented proof that she was Cherokee, or any other Native American. While talking with some of my older relatives some years back, they indicated that she was believed to be Cherokee. There is no indication on any of the records I have seen that she was Cherokee. Recently, I have heard from other family members in different parts of the country, who have also heard that she was Native American. I do not see her name on any of the Cherokee rolls, but that would not be surprising, if she was adopted and raised by the Payne family, as is suspected.
