Classification: Query
Surnames: Barbee; Carey
I am very excited to have found this forum! I have been researching family history for a couple of years now. Have hit a wall - - my great grandmother, Martha Barbee born in AK 1883. Her parents: S.W. Barbee (TN 1847) and Josaphine (NC 1860). The records stop with the 1900 census. Siblings of Martha: Ollie V (born 1889 Choctaw Nat) and McClellan (born 1894 Cherokee Nat). 1910 census lists additional siblings Ed, Virr (? spelling) as well as nieces/neph Jim, William,Rina, Adros all born in OK between 1902-1909. In addition, McClellan's name is changed to George B. on 1910 record. One of Martha's own children, Gertrude Carey is listed on 1910 census b. 1903 Indian Territory.
I am confused because at the time of the 1900 & 1910 Census' they were in Scott County Lewis twp. AK, yet some of the children were born as stated above. Oral history has it that we are Cherokee through my grandmother's line. Any help, comments, information is considered a major blessing!
