Shauna Lynn Harvey
Query: I am blond haired and blue eyed, but still I do have Indian roots in my ancestors. That has nothing to do with what I need you or someone to know about. The digging of a somewhat burial ground. In Tennessee along the clinch river just befor Claiborne county the government began building a four-lane highway and they found they were digging the graves of Indians. For some reason they are going ahead with the road and from what I understand it is being studied by archiologist or somthing like that. What I don’t understand is the road can easily detor this area, why is it possible to do this? How can anyone have the right to disturb a grave? I know the governmant is very powerful but just because this is a small town where most people are not concered I think it is wrong and should be stopped before they keep going any further. My question is what can we do? I am very serious. I would like some answers if you know more about how the law works in these matters.

Shannon Phillips
Query: In 1976 our county had a sequicentennial and there was an article submitted by a local high school history teacher that said my family is descended from Chief Doublehead. I am researching to prove this. The story is this: John Hough an early pioneer in Lauderdale County married one of Chief Doublehead’s daughters. The Hough family was from Chesterfield County, SC. They migrated to Lauderdale County, AL (perhaps via KY or NC or TN) near Florence AL and were big land owners and slave holders by 1818, a year before Alabama became a state. Doublehead had a reserve on Blue Water Creek in Lauderdale County, AL. He rented land to whites (many who were in Giles County, TN just above the present AL sate line. Doublehead he lived on that reserve between 1794 and 1807. Any information about Doublehead or his family (his father- mother – brothers – sisters – children) from early times until now)would be appreciated.

Cindy
Query: I am looking for information on how/where I can find out about Cherokee adoptions between the years 1874 and 1880. I am searching for information on ‘Maud Stubbs’ and am hoping that she was legally adopted around the year 1880. There is a book published on ‘Stubbs Genealogy’ listing her birth year as 1880 which is incorrect. Her ‘parents’ had a son in 1874 who died that same year and I’ve been able to research and prove he was not a twin. I have found her listed on the Federal Census for 1880 with this family lising her age as 6 years old, birthplace Massachusetts. I have done a lot of research and cannot find a record of her birth in Massachusetts between 1874 and 1880 but ironically, Massachusetts remains listed as her birthplace on the Fed. Census until 1920 which states her birth place as “United States.” I still have probate name change records I can research at the Archives in Boston but I’m hoping that other sources are available to research.

James G.Craig had three siblings Cynthia (Jensie) Craig Bales, Polly Craig and George Craig. George died with his father during the Indian removeal.
