Jessica
Query: I grew up with my grandmother telling me stories about her family in TN. Her family called her grandfather “The Chief”-not sure if that was just a nickname or not-really confused, and stating that her family was Cherokee. I’ve been doing genealogy reports for years and while I’ve found “American” names, I can seem to find no other proof. Her father’s name was Rufus H. Lively(1897-1949), and his Father(the apparent “Chief”) was James A. Lively(1868-? born in GA), and just a few minutes ago I found the name of John W. Lively, with no other info. Seems like a stretch, but I’m hoping to find SOMETHING!! Thank You in advance 🙂

Becky Walker Norwood
Query: My grandmother was full blood Cherokee. She raised me and my older brother. I can remember people coming from Cherokee Reservation and teaching me and my brother things. My grandmother never told anyone her native name, only that her parents left her with a white family for safekeeping. Her name was Lillie Mae and she was born July 5, 1898, in Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina. In the research that I have done in trying to find her family, the closest I’ve come in that Benjamin F. Thompson, who was on the Native American cards for the Five Civilized Tribes 1898- 1914, his card # is 2507. My grandmother got married when she was 10 years old to a George Columbus Lynch. My grandmother was given to a white family that were either Wards or Greens. Any information that you can help me find out who my grandmother was would mean so much to me. Thank you for your help in this matter, Becky Walker Norwood

Chris Chamberlain
Query: My maternal grandfather was given to a church in 1911 to adopt. On the papers the family ( Satterfield) claimed their daughter had a baby with an “Indian”. The baby was “just too dark” for them to keep. He was adopted by Juitt Hood in Louisville Ky. For some reason my grandfather knew all this and had contact with his father who said he was full Cherokee. This part of my heritage is very important to me.

Kim Borgal
Query: I am looking for a full blooded cherokee man by the last name of Fanning. I understand that he was married to a white woman, and last understanding of things, he was seen (with wife) in Kentucky. I believe this was in the 1860’s (maybe as early as 1840’s), and was feared very much because he was as good (and deadly) with a bullwhip as a gunslinger with a gun. His decendents (some of them) would be Boker. Arthur Boker is said to be his son. If you know of him, was he ever enrolled in the dawes roll/records? If so, what was his number, and his date of birth, place of birth, full name, etc? I would like ti know all I can of him. He would be my great grandfather, or maybe great-great gransfather.
