Searching for any information about Martha R. Gadbury, b. 1872 in Kansas, d. 1958 in Indiahoma, Oklahoma. Married Daniel W. Miller and had 11 children while living on Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, Oklahoma: Henry Clay, Maud, Hettie, Lotti, Albert D, Minnie, Roy, Jessie, Gilbert, Ralph, and Arthur.
After Daniels's death, she married again, the second time to John McClung in the Cache/Indiahoma area of Oklahoma.

Martha is at the center of a raging family controversy over part of our Indian heritage. Oral tradition of _some_ of the family have had it that Martha was 1/2 or full blooded Indian. Hettie had no doubt about this, and neither did her sister Minnie. Clay, on the other hand, went to his grave denying any such thing.

I attended a Miller family reunion in the Wichita Mountains in the mid 90s, and when one of the nice white-haired Miller ladies there learned which branch of the family I was from, she smiled and told me "There are more Millers than there are white people." I guess that's what I am trying to document.

Martha was the daughter of Henry George Gadberry, b. 11 Aug 1842 in Jackson, Illinois, and Susan Mary Warren, b. 1844, also in Illinois.

Any information at all about her or her line would be greatly appreciated.

OKAY HERE IS THE SKINNY ON MY END

WELL ACCORDING TO ME CHECKING THE INDIAN ROLLS; GUION MILLER ROLLS I FOUND A MARY A. KING.

I SAY INTERESTING AS MARY ANN GADBERRY WAS HENRY GEORGE GADBURY'S SISTER. SAME FATHER & MOTHER.

NOW WHETHER THE ONE ON THE ROLLS IS OUR MARY ANN GADBERRY WHO MARRIED JOSEPH WILEY KING IS A REAL QUESTION.

ALSO THE OTHER GADBERRY LISTED ON THE ROLLS WAS ONE (KEZIAH GADBERRY) WHICH NOONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHO IT IS. IN FACT A MISSPELLING OF THE FIRST NAME IS WHAT ALL HAVE THOUGHT SO FAR

Very interesting, Darrel. Thanks very much. My grandmother (Hettie Miller) is one of Martha's children. I've found 3 different Hettie Miller's listed on applications for the Cherokee rolls, and one day soon I will drive up to Ft Worth and see if I can connect one of them to my grandmother.

If nothing else, the numbers are right for 2 of the 3 Hetties who are listed, as 1/4 Cherokee, since Martha would have been 1/2.

Do you by any chance have any informaiton on a Martha A Gadberry or Amanda Elizabeth Anthony? Please email me, it will be easier that way...:)! Or how about an Amanda Cross who was full blooded Cherokee Indian?

Thanks
