Bill Shelton
Query: Wondering about a JOSEPH MORRIS, born in North Carolina about 1798. Came to Edwards County Illinois and married a HANNAH STONE, also born North Carolina about 1797. They married in december of 1820. Believe his father may have been an ISAAC MORRIS, who came to Illinois about 1815/20. He was said to have come from the south and was a backwoodsman of the true type. Had a large family. Many of these men took Native American wifes and I wonder if they could have been JOSEPH’S parents. Family tradition says we have Cherokee ancestors,(in several branches)and would like to know if this may be one of them?

Query: I come from a large family of whom most have passed. I lived with my grandmother and her mother when I was young. They came up from WV to Delaware and I remember my great grandmother wearing mocosins, braided hair, and the “dresses”. I have 1 cousin alive and we were talking this morning. I asked him which of our grandparents was part Cherokee. He told me that Clara WOMER (or WOOMER not sure); her mother was a WOMER also was full cherokee. Clara was married to James Delbert MARTIN. I can’t remember my Clara’s mother’s name. They moved to Delaware in what my father say a Beverly Hillbilly truck, no shoes (9 kids and parents) around 1945-1955 timeframe or maybe a little earlier. I just don’t have a lot to go on.
