Mike Day
Query: Family legend says that my wife’s great grandfather WILLIAM NEWBERRY went to America possibly in the 1880’s. He returned to Wales in 1891 with his bride MARY NEWBERRY (formerly SMITH). Sadly mary died on the 7th November 1891 just hours after giving birth to a daughter. The legend says Mary was Cherokee and her grand children were dark skinned with striking facial features. The only reference on the 1880 census to a MARY SMITH of Indian origin was in Michigan and she was married to WILLIAM SMITH, occupation farmer also classified as Indian. They had four children, SARAH SMITH (b.abt 1872), MARY ANN SMITH (b. abt 1874), PAUL SMITH (b abt 1876) and JOHN SMITH (b. abt 1878). As this is the only Indian Mary Smith of the right age in the census is she the one I’m looking for and if so what happened to her first family? Mary was 35 when she died and is buried in Cardiff, Wales. If any of this rings a bell please contact me.

Oscar Shaw, III
Query: My great grand mother, Mary Ann Moten Wilson, died on January 24, 1949, in South Carolina. Near the Pickett Plantation in Lugoff, SC. She was married to a Robert Wilson, from what I have been told, but also she was said to be of Cherokee descent. One of her sons, Henry Wilson, was my grandfather.
