Query: My grandmother, Nancy Jane Hubbard was on 1900 Dawes Rolls, age 3. Her mother Charlotte Sanders Hubbard is also on the Dawes Rolls, age 29. Charlotte’s sister Sallie Proctor was also on the Dawes Rolls. I am looking for Charlotte’s parents and grandparents. I believe they were either Thomas and Elizabeth Sanders or Charles and Elizabeth Sanders. My great aunt said she remembers a picture of them (which I have a copy) always hanging in the home. She said she believes the woman was Elizabeth, but does not remember them. She was born in 1915 and they may have died before then and possibly before the Dawes Act as I cannot find a Thomas, Charles or Elizabeth within the age range in 1900. I am already a tribal member based on my grandmother and great grandmother’s roll numbers, but I would like to know who my great great grandparents were. My grandmother’s brothers were William and Thomas Hubbard. Her cousins were Sam M. Proctor, Eli Proctor, William C. Proctor, Walter Proctor, Mary J. Proctor and Charlie J. Proctor. The History of the Cherokee Indians, Old Families list a Thomas Jefferson Sanders married to an Elizabeth Bearpaw and a Charles Sanders married to a Elizabeth Jane Daniel? I know her maiden name was Sanders and my great aunt is fairly sure her mother’s name was Elizabeth, but I cannot be certain.

Query: I am looking for information on my paternal grandmother’s family. Her name was Meisssa Mae Lackey, born May 23,1895, near Little Switzerland, North Carolna. She died May 19, 1949 near Shelby North Carolina. I have always been told she was 1/2 Cherokee Indian. Lackey is her maiden name. She married Avery Clarence Doty, and they had three children. I do not know her parents names. They both died when she was about 10 years old and she went to live with family friends. My aunt has a deed to land that was given to her mother (Melissa Mae Lackey) by the government when she was a child, apparently due to her being an orphan of Cherokee heritaqe. My father and aunt once looked into finding the property many years ago, but the land had been settled on and sold and re-sold many times. I give this information only in case there is some record that could help to find her parents names as my husband and I have been researching our family histories for several years, and this is a branch of the family we have little information on. Any help would be much appreciated.

I know that there is a grandmother that was full Cherokee but I can not figure out who she is or where she had come from and whose mother she is. The line now is Ashley Keller, Anthony Keller, David Keller, then Cecil Keller. The older people in my family that would know this are not saying anything. I think it has do to with a type of reservation law that they had broken or some type of tax fraud. I just have something inside of me that is calling me to reasearch all about my native backgroud. If any body thinks that there is a clue in here any where please feel free to let me know.

Query: I am looking for information regarding Richard Childers (1859-1891 d. Pryor Creek, Indian Territory). I am trying to confirm the family story that he is 1/2 Cherokee. Richard married Lucy Anna Ackley (5/24/1864 Cameron, Marshall, West Virginia-d. Feb 1888 Catoosa, Indian Territory, Oklahoma). Lucy died in childbirth. Their son, Henry Samuel Childers was raised on “the reservation for 10 years until Richard died in 1891” then Henry was raised by the Ackley family. Lucy’s parents were Samuel Ackley and Sarah Rush Ackley. According to my cousin, Henry Samuel Childers was 1/4 Cherokee. My problem is that I can’t find a death certificate for Richard Childers or anything proving he was 1/2 Cherokee. I am not sure where the family lived or what “reservation” they are referring to. If you have any ties to Lucy or any information, I would enjoy sharing my information with you. Family Names: Childers Ackley Weiser Wiser.
