also re Wiley Willis I am interested in Anna whose people say she was full blooded Indian. My family tradition says we have Indian blood and I would love to know more about it. I am descended from Tabitha Willis the daughter of Henry Willis and Nancy McKnight(?). Henry Willis had land on Rich Creek in what is now Monroe County West Virginia. The marriage record for Tabitha Willis and Charles Cooper the son of John and Elizabeth Cooper dated 1802 is in Monroe County West Virginia. Charles Cooper moved to Laurence County W.Va. Tabitha died ca 1824 and Charles ca 1836 in Greenville County Kentucky. They had a son Charles that the family said "REALLY SHOWED THE INDIAN BLOOD". but of course they would not tell any more about it. I am descended from Mary Cooper a daughter of Tabitha and Charles Cooper who was sister to the Charles who showed the Indian blood. Mary married 1835 William Smith Dickerson in Greenville Coounty Kentucky (this is where the Wiley comes in). They moved to Davies County and named their first child William Wiley Dickerson. They lived near Civil Bend in Davies County. Can any one help me with my Indian? I would love to be in touch with the descendents of Anna the full blooded Cherokee.
