I know my mother states that her mother Cora Wilkey (daughter of Rachel Acord, daughter of Elizabeth Wright, daughter of Clayton Wright, son of Richard Wright Jr...etc) was Cherokee and Irish as well as Black Dutch. My info has these people coming from Cocke County TN which is very near the North Carolina border and Cherokee Country. They were born in North Carolina also.
