Alma Rice
Query: Like so many, my mother was part Cherokee. Her father insisted that she and her brother never tell anyone they were part Indian after their mother died when they were small. They never knew anything about their mother’s people, except she had a brother who left Arkansas and supposedly died in Oklahoma (?) I have found there was Cherokee lands between White River and the Arkansas River before ARkansas was a state. Most of the Cheokees went over into Oklahoma or down to Texas afterward. My ancestor, having married a white settler, remained in Arkansas until her death. As a result of the above, she, or my mother and uncle, were never put on the Dawes Roll. The Cherokee blood remains however and if anyone knows if the clan system was in effect with the Cherokee’s living in this area before Arkansas statehood, and if so, the clan that was living around the White River area in Boone County Arkansas? Even if my siblings and myself do not know our Cherokee ancestor’s maiden name (or Indian name) and as a result have little hope of being able to belong officially to the Cherokee nation (hopefully, we will be able to) we are proud of our Native American heritage and have made sure it is written into our family history for future generations. Best of luck to all who are searching their Indian ancestory. Wado

Query: My grandfather was James Sylvester Davis, and he claimed to have a Cherokee grandmother. His father was Robert William Davis and his mother was Mary Davis. Robert’s father was Sylvester Davis, wife’s name unknown. I think she is the Cherokee link. Although, the family originated from Wales. This Sylvester Davis must have married a Cherokee lady. The Davis family lived in Hocking County, OH. There is a private cemetery nearby, with many of the Davis ancestors buried there. For some reason, my grandfather, James, was buried near McArthur, OH at Elk Cemetery, along with his wife Nancy Arminda Ann Woodard. There is reported to be Cherokee blood in her family as well. The only one I can prove [2 proofs], is Joshua Johnson, great grandfather of my paternal grandmother, he was also known as Bear Meat Johnson. I cannot spell or pronounce his Cherokee name. But, found him listed in a Cherokee book from NC. My paternal grandmother was Cora Blanche Sheets.
