Query: I am looking for any information about the mother of Jack Alton Putman. Jack was born 5 August 1886 in Woodbine, Cooke County, Texas. We think his mother was Sarah, but we don’t know her maiden name. Legend says that Sarah was Cherokee. According to Jack’s military records, his mother was born in Texas, however this could be wrong because his stepmother was also born in Texas. Legend says that Sarah died in Rush Springs Oklahoma in about 1891 when Jack was about 5 years old. Jack’s father is Frank Ernest (FE) Putman (or Putnam). There are no records of Sarah’s death at Rush Springs due to a fire at the courthouse. We appreciate any ideas!

They had 3 sons, Don E., Charles E., and Raymond. They were divorced by 1920. The boys were born 1912, 1914, and 1916, respectfully. Grandmother remarried John Jordan and at some point moved to KCMO. Grandfather stayed in the Carthage, MO area as far as we know. Grandfather also went by John E. Arnold as well as Edward J. Arnold. Grandfathers Father was born in Tennessee and his Mother was born in Missouri. Both are said to be of Cherokee blood. Grandmother had a roll number. She supposedly sold her birthright when she came to KCMO. If anyone has any info on either one please e-mail me.

Query: I know my ggrandmother was cherokee and she was from Virginia. Her name was Panola Hancock and she married Robert Simpson, together they had three daughters, and adopted a son. My grandmother said she lived in Clifton Forge as a small child and then the family moved to Ashland Ky. which is where I live. They are buried in the Rose Hill Burial Park here and this is all I know about them other than stories my granny told me about as a child.Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, Vickie
