I just found my 6th Great Grandfather Yellow Bear in the 1817 Cherokee Reservation List and I am trying to find the rest of his family’s names. Is there any place that I can go online to find this information?
He was awarded 640 acres along Burning Town Creek in Tennessee.
My name is Loni Opal Riley, I am from Idaho, my father brought my mother here from Missouri but he died in 1966, Riley is associated with the name Mason.
Yona Quinn Qu-sadui Mason is my 5th generation grandmother.
I am a descendent of the of Yellow Big Bear Qu Sadui, father of Yellow Bear Qu Sadui, father of Yona Eleven Bear Qu Sadui and wife of William Mason.
I can trace the Mason side after that to current day in my line. If I can help with that, let me know.

I would love to know more. I have Cherokee on both sides of my dad’s family. Yellow Bear is from my Dad’s side. I also have Cherokee on my dad’s mom’s side. Johnson, Cantrell, I would like to get some Indian rights, and establish a card. I would like to work with the Tribes. My dads sure names are Wells. Mason, and Riley.
