My Grandfather was george D. Sikes...boen in Missouri.His fathe was John Micheal Sikes,his motehr was Martha Snow.Martha was a cherokee,John Michael was a trooper who escorted the cherokees on the Trail of tears.They married in Arkansas at the end of that terrible ordeal.They mved to Grove Oklahoma an laer moved to Mssouri.I understand there are a lot of Sikes and Snows in Misssoui.Most of the postings I've read are about Sikes and Sykes from the east.Do any of you know of any missouri or indian connections?
