Whitecotton

I am doing the genealogy on the Arnold family from Georgia.
The individual is Maude Terura Arnold
1883–1979
BIRTH 4 MAR 1883 • Banks County, Georgia
DEATH 5 OCT 1979 • Greene County, Georgia.
I was told that she was part Cherokee by my family. Her mother was Martha Giles Whitecotton
BIRTH 10 JUL 1861 • Georgia, USA
DEATH 06 JUN 1938 • Banks County, Georgia, USA and her father was Giles Morgan Whitecotton
BIRTH 15 MAY 1837 • Habersham, Georgia, United States
DEATH 6 MAR 1917 • Hall, Georgia, United States. Looking to complete the genealogy backwards with the confirming evidence. My working genealogy on this line goes back to the 1500’s.
