My ggrandmother was said to be full blooded Cherokee Indian. Her name was Annie Haire and was said to be from Temperhill, NC. She married a man by the name of Joe Kelley (Kelly) who apparently took the name of Glass. I am not sure if he took the new name before they were married or not. He was from Babcock, GA. They had eight children most of which I assume lived in GA. If anyone can shed some light on any of this information or if anyone knows where I can begin to look, please write me and let me know.
