I can't believe I found this. John Allen
Winters is also my wifes GGGrandfather. Our information shows he was born 1-7-1829 in
GA and died in
Crawley,
LA. He married Elizabeth Cheek/Check 2-12,1852. She was born 4-14-1828 in
AL and died in
Crawley,
LA. Their daughter, Mary Jane
Winters, born 4-28-1858, married John Alexander
Daves 2-12-1877 in
Choctaw Co. My wife remembers her father telling that his grandmother(Mary Jane) was half Indian and that she was a midwife. That would mean that either John Allen
Winters or Elizabeth
Cheek would be full blood Indian. Everyone had assumes that it was Elizabeth but recent information points to John Allen as being full blood Indian. We are trying to verify this and find out what tribe. Also there is some confusion over whether it is
Cheek or Check. Please e-mail me at
