Researching one's family tree is a long process and only the
ones close to your heart and in your life can be verified in the
beginning.
Browsing through the many other family trees on the
internet we can find thousands of new cousins, and thankfully there are
many census records, cemetery records, etc. available to verify
those.
Some may not be verified and need further research. I have
ordered a few death certificates, browsed through boxes of our old
family photos with names and dates on them, cards, letters, and
notebooks, to put this together, yet am quite certain there are still
many corrections and additions to come.
Dozens of new cousins
have emailed me with some detail about their connection to my lineage
and it's been wonderful getting to know you all. Some want me to show
them their indian blood which is impossible, I only know my own. I know
that my dad was one quarter Cherokee and his sister calls her son Regal
Eagle and my mom's great great grandpa Stephens married a full blood
Cherokee in SC before his journey to the Dublin / Ramer area where I
have visited a few times to do my research. Her great great grandmother
Nancy Anderson has two grandmothers from Cherokee blood and maybe
more.
Both of my parents had Cherokee blood but it is highly
possible there was some other native american blood in their lineage.
Many of my mother's ancestors lived among the Creeks in the 1700s and my
father's lineage was in Kentucky 1800 where many tribes had migrated,
yet soon after, they all began to migrate to Iowa Territory and Indiana,
ending up in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
it's been said that my dad's
great grandfather John Wright Little refused an indian land allotment
however he did uproot his family from their Kentucky roots to migrate to
a homestead in Arkansas and his descendants ended up in Alabama.
When I was looking into my husband's line I was told that his
mom's grandmother Partridge was an indian from Georgia and I did find
her families on census there before they all moved into Elmore
County.

Annie Lee Carter changed her
name to Anne Alice Carter, because she had no idea that her grandmother
was Annie Lee Stone Fenn Carter born about 1875, so she chose to use her
own mother's name Alice. Annie Lee Stone might have been the full blood
Cherokee we are searching for. Of course Annie Lee Stone might have
married a half blood Wm Fenn in 1893 as we see the Cherokee blood runs
strong in his mother's line of Harrell.
