Surnames: Trottingwolf, Pather, Hider, Pursifull, Dirtpott
Lincoln Trottingwolf and Susan Dirtpott were my Great-Grandparents. They diviorced when I was a child so do not remember Susan. She remarried to a Mr. Pather but never met her. Lincoln (in his 60s)then married Grace Hider(in her teens), whose brother was Sam Hider, the preacher and author of Cherokee language books.

Lincoln (101), Grace (64) and a nephew named Cornshuker(early 20s) were all killed in a house fire around 1965.

Lincoln and Susan had several children: Nelson, Edwin, Nellie, Clarence, and Sequoyah to name a few. I believe they had several more that died as babies. Sequoyah Trottingwolf was my grandfather. His role number was 10162. My mother, Velma Trottingwolf, was his oldest daughter and my aunt, Katherine was his other daughter.
Velma got married in 1946 to Ralph Pursifull, Sr. and had 5 children. I am the oldest. Katherine had two daughters. All of my brothers and sisters have children and many of the children have children. Most of Ralph and Velma's childen, grandchildren and great-grand-children are register in the Cherokee Nation.

I am interested in knowing if anyone knows who was in the Trail of Tears. Lincoln was born in 1863 and died in 1964. We know he was born in Indian Territory so his parents may or may not have been in the Trail of Tears. If not, then his grandparents must have been. Any information would be appreciated.

I was married to Mack Hodge who was the son of Ella Maria Hodge who was the sister of Grace Trottingwolf. I had read a article about Lincoln many years ago and they said that he had the orginal boot the Trail Of Tears. I do know that the parents of Grace and Ella were Thomas Toma Hider or sometimes spelled Hyder. Thomas' grandmother was Lucinda Adair. I also know that somewhere on Ellas side and I do belive she was an O'Field, who was related to Degadona (Probably not spelled correct) He/or she was on the trail of tears. I had all this information from the Cherokee nation and had misplaced it moving and have never been able to retreive any of it. Anything you know about that side of the family would be appreciated. Thank you and really good to find you. Cecile Hodge

You can find Cherokee information at www.accessgenealogy.com or www.allthingscherokee.com. Although I'm mixed Yuchi & Creek, I had a few ancestors who changed from Cherokee to Creek at the time of the Dawes Final Rolls.

You're welcome. I've run into many dead ends on my Creek ancesters and met some nice people on the message boards who have pointed me in the right direction and helped me out.
Good luck

Surnames: Tiger, Perryman, Brown, Hodge
I'm related to a long line of Perryman's from my mother's paternal great grandfather, Chief Samuel William Brown, Sr. (Yuchi & mixed Yuchi & Creek) and also the Hodge line. The Perryman line is huge due to marriages and children. My family tree is at Ancestry with owner as BlondiNativeAme3. My mother was also related to Tigers but haven't been able to find the right Tiger family. Her name was Mollie Tiger and the mother of Kate Atkins-Wadsworth-Holden, who was my mother's maternal great grandmother. Thomas Atkins (white) married Mollie Tiger (full blood Creek) of Coweta. Their daughter was Kate Atkins-Wadsworth-Holden who was married to #1-Mitchell Wadsworth, Sr. (died 1/2 Creek) and #2-Thomas Holden (white?). Kate and Mitchell, Sr. had one child, a son, Mitchell Wadsworth, Jr. who married my maternal great grandmother, Emma Barr-Wadsworth and Emma had my grandmother, Mary Josephine Wadsworth-Brown-McAlpine. Somewhere along the line the paternal Brown side of mom's family married into the maternal Wadsworth side of her family. From my Brown line, I go back to James S. Vann who was Cherokee and married to a Cherokee named Mary Wadsworth. James S. Vann & Mary Wadsworth changed from the Cherokee to Creek Rolls when they enrolled on the Dawes Final Rolls. We might have some common ancestors with Perryman and Hodge line. E-mail me at BlondiNativeAme3@yahoo.com and I can connect you to a Perryman or Hodge ancestor in my tree.
