Query: I am trying to find information on my Gr-Gr-Grandmother Mary E. Winters Sisson Walker, born in Cleveland, Bradley, Tennessee 11/14/1855 & died 12/06/1901 in Indian Territory, Atoka, Oklahoma. Specifically, I need to know who her biological mother was. I have seen evidence that her mother was Martha A. Chastain, but I have also seen evidence that her mother was Mary Ann Martha Chapman. As many of the people leaving questions here, I have also always been told that we have Cherokee lineage, that one my ancestors walked the “Trail of Tears,” and Mary E. Winters Sisson Walker was the missing link. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this off & on for more than 20 years now. Thank you!

Query: Lucy BOLAND (1759-1830), wife of Jonathan DAGLEY (1755-1830) was claimed to be of Cherokee blood by at least 13 descendants who filed claims. It was stated in several of the claims that their son Alvis was “proven” (1851?)… and more than once it was stated that John Ross and Thomas White had vouched for his being Cherokee by blood. Alvis unfortunately died while his claim was being processed (1895). Just curious and wondering if there is a trail here… or were all 13 of them crazy or greedy.

April Grimes
Query: Looking for any information on John Bell (Grimes). We’ve been told John Bell Was either adopted or raised by the Grimes family. Likely in Virginia or Tennessee, possibly Kentucky. My grandfather had always said this too. We have not been able to trace back any further than this because there are no records of an adoption. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
