My
Family Tree of Life
Family
Researching one's family tree is a long
process and 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.
