Rita A Serpa-Leid
Query: I am pretty sure my Native (F) ancestor is Cherokee; born & died in Washington County, KY. (1744-1822). I have two spellings for her Native name, Neley & Neeley; her English name was Nancy; surname: Silvertooth. Does anybody have access to the Cocanougher Cemetery, in Washington County, KY? I understand she & husband, Jacob are buried there; I would be glad to compensate somebody for visiting their gravesites, taking & sending or e-mailing photos of them for me. This is a family cemetery, therefore, the surname you would be searching for is the same as cemetery: Cocanougher. Otherwise, I just need to know where to go from here, in my search for more info about Neeley & Jacob. I appreciate the help of one & all, very much!

William Phillips
Query: My grandmother was born of a white mother and a Native American father. She was born on 04/08/06. Her mother ran off and she and some of her family were put into an orphanage in Pryor OK. She was approx 5-7 yrs. old at this time. She was adopted by the Peter Houston family I know that she had a sister named Evelyn. She ran away at age 15 and stayed with this sister on Sand Spring Road. She married my grandfather three days before her 16th birthday. This was April 5, 1924 Her name at the time of their marriage was Pauline Pearl Houston. It became Pauline Pearl Phillips. In the 1950’s she received papers from the govt. to apply for oil monies she threw these papers out. I believe that she was on the roles or her sister Evelyn had them sent to her. I would like to find and prove my Native Americam heritage for several reasons. I would like to find some of the other realitive from that side of my family. I have never met any of them.

Query: Paul Smith (of all names to have need to reseach): I have little to no infomation on Paul Smith except that he was born on or in Sand Mountain Al.

Alma & Paul and the following children that I know of: Joyce married Charles Cobel, John married several times, Jimmy married Deanna from New Orleans in 1968, Marvin married me and we divorced in 1971, he married Eileen ??? I have been told that his daddy may have been of the Cherokee Nation as his granddaddy (name unknown) married or had a Native American wife. I know that most of that particular family stayed in the Sand Mountain area. I do not remember ever hearing any names however. Marvin is dark skinned with dark eyes, he still has black hair and not a hint of grey which I lay to the Native American heritage. Our daughter is also dark skinned with beautiful blue eyes that are so blue they often look black. Lam (Granny) Left Snad Mountain sometime after she was divorced and took a job in a factory “At the bottom of the mountain” until she could get on her feet with her mother taking the children. I met the family in Miami Florida in late 1967 or early 1968. Our daughter is now 31 years old = I have been working on my ancestry for my mother and daddies side of the family and have decided to make an attempt to try to find out something about the Smith side. There may be a connection between my ex-husbands Smiths and my own.

Query: I have been wondering where my husband’s surname came from (no one seems to know for sure). His family intermarried with the Cherokee over the years. Amyx may or may not come from the Cherokee. However, I would definitely like to know a few things about his great-grandmother, who had Cherokee blood. All I know is that her name was Stella, and she married Stoke Amyx probably between the years of 1905 and 1915. In her photograph, her Cherokee heritage is obvious. Oh yeah, she had a brother named Henry, and two sisters: Elsie and Eve. My family tree is not complete without more info on Stella. Since they lived in East TN, they probably kept their heritage a secret.
