I have been doing research on my family tree and expanding it as far back as it can go. I’ve been told one of my ancestors, Mahala Hinshaw, was Cherokee. But I cannot find her name on the Dawes Roll, Hester Roll, or any of the other significant rolls for determining Cherokee descent. She married David Laughlin, and they are buried in North Carolina. Can you help me ascertain whether or not I am of Cherokee descent?
