Query: John Choate: I am looking for John Choate who was born in 1850 in Tennessee. He was Cherokee Indian. His wife was Martha Martin born in 1855 in Tennessee. They had several children, one of whom was my husband’s grandmother. Her name was Martha Elizabeth Choate born in 1876 in Robertson County, Tennessee. Choate may not be the correct spelling of their surname. It could be Sholte, Shoat, etc.

Query: Jim Crow Shepherd was a full blooded Cherokee and was a member of the White River Clan. I am looking for geneology information about him, his wife, and siblings. Mary Bell Puett is believed to be a decendant, as is John Shepherd, Mira Shepherd and possibly a Miria Shepherd by marriage. Mira Shepherd was the mother of Mary Bell Puett. John Shepherd was the father of Mira Shepherd. We are specifically looking for the links (all genology info such as birth, death, records, place of burial, etc.) between Mary Bell Puett & Jim Crow Shepherd. Some or all of this family was from Arkansas.
