Re: Queen Ann Teakell or Queen Ann Webster

In the late 1800's/early 1900's there were actually more white people in Indian Territory than there were Indians.
When Indians Lands were opened up in the Land Runs, the region was flooded with white settlers.
So, no, the fact that someone was residing in IT does not necessarily mean they were Indian.

I found the family in the US Federal Census.
The 1880 census is free online.

How did you find out that they were free and white. I found them living on the Chickasaw Nation at one point does that not mean anything?

No, the name Queen is certainly not "an Indian thing".
It is in fact a rather popular name in the 19th century.

And, no, as your folks were Free White Citizens of the United States, you will not find them "on the role", whatever that may mean.
They will be found in Federal Records.

Yes, we are pretty sure that is her but where did the "Queen" come from is that an Indian thing? I'm not sure either if I am finding these people on the role or not. Can You help? Thanks

The Trail of Tears took place 1838/39, around 20 years before Queen Ann was born. It was the forced removal of over 20,000 Indians from their homelands in the south east to Indian Territory. Very well documented.

Creek and Cherokee battle in Saline, Tennessee

brandibarnes55 — 2009-09-09 01:19:03Z

Hi!
I was wondering if someone could tell me more about a battle that took place in the Cherokee district of Saline Tennessee in 1838 during the Trail of Tears. My 5th great grandfather, Joseph Medley was killed there while trying to keep a relative of his wife from being forced on the march to Oklahoma . Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Brandi

Re: Parker from Knox County, TN

KathyRoberts54 — 2009-07-09 10:04:22Z

According to census records for Knox County TN, your PARKER family resided there continously from at least 1830 until 1880, possibly later.

The Trail of Tears, which took place between 1838 and 1839, was the forced removal of around 16,000 Cherokee from their remaining homelands in the southeast.
Here's a very good site that may be of interest.

Parker from Knox County, TN

HolidayResearcher — 2009-07-09 05:20:08Z

Are there any records that can be researched online to determine whether a family was on the Trail of Tears? Our Jonathan Parker (b 1810), wife Selina, and children William D, Thern M, Martha, Elan, James KP, Addeline, and Adele may have been involved.

NEED INFORMATION!!!

CrystalSharp35 — 2009-03-30 03:37:54Z

I've been told that there is Cherokee & Apache blood in my family. The surnames I have are Sharp,Boyd,Burrell & Haygood. Does anyone recognize these names? If you have any information I would be very grateful if you could share it with me. I don't have any proof of the Native American blood. I'm trying to see if the heritage my relatives have told me about is true or not. Thank you in advance.

NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cherokee Name Gayfeather

CrystalSharp35 — 2009-02-09 23:08:47Z

I have 2 people that I'm trying to confirm actually existed. There have been stories about them in my family for as long as I can remember. The first is a woman named Gayfeather. She was on the Trail of Tears with her family. She made a ruckus so that her family could flee. They did flee and their families still live in Oklahoma. Gayfeather was shot and killed for doing that. The other person is a Cherokee Chief Joseph Burrell. My great aunt talked to a Chief in North Carolina. He said he knew who Joseph was but wouldn't give us his Indian name because he was famous. Does anyone out there know anything about the people I have mentioned? If you do I would love to talk to you. Thank you in advance.

Re: forced march 1849?

tomw187 — 2008-11-08 13:13:08Z

Hi Jill,

According to my information John Latty, who was the father of Nancy Latty -- the mother of Fleming Latty -- was in eastern Tennessee, Cherokee Nation East, in the early decades of the 19th century.

I have more information about him and his wife and descendants that I'd be happy to share. Please contact me directly by email at tomwalls@gmail.com.

Thanks.

Re: forced march 1849?

bstrohman1 — 2008-11-08 03:02:30Z

I found some info on Latty saying they were on Cherokee land in the early 1800's. Do you think they were Cherokee or just living on cherokee land? My family line is :

Emory Latty(1809)--Philemel or Fleming Latty(1834)--Thomas A Latty(1857)---Ollie Lattie(1900) My greatgrandmother.

Hope you can help me. Good luck. Jill

CHEROKEE TRAIL OF TEARS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 1838

julian971 — 2008-10-29 14:31:15Z

July 6, 2008

I am seeking information regarding the Trail of Tears and my ancestor's possible role, the Rev. James Newton Harper was an ordained Methodist minister. He is believed to have accompanied one of the later detachments from Eastern Tennessee starting out in October 1838 and on through Kentucky and crossed the Ohio River at Golgonda, Illinois in December 1838 before proceeding with his detachment to his brother William's homestead at Reynoldsburg, or aka Cross Roads, IL which is just a few miles north of Vienna, where he halted his travel but allowed the native americans to camp there for several weeks while the ice cleared on the Mississippi River and his band could cross over and on their way to OK. Along with James Newton was his family, that of his brother's William, and that of James and John William Sanders. ANY HELP THAT YOU MAY LEND WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Family legend has it that James Newton saved a native baby when his mother died near Hopkinsville, KY and either adopted or raised the boy.
Have much to share for anybody that can also bring something to the table or help in any way.

Re: Trail Of Tears-Nancy Daniels

JerriChasteen — 2008-08-25 17:37:07Z

If your ancestor had a child in Indiana four years BEFORE the Trail of Tears, she would not have participated in the Removal. She would not have been living with the tribe-- and THAT'S the people they wanted to get rid of, not "citizens of the United States" who were living in Indiana.

Re: Whitehorn on Trail of Tears

2005-08-16 19:20:28Z

Debbie-
If you'll go to the Tippah Co MS U.S. Genweb site, you'll see that the Whitehorn family didn't arrive in that area until after 1836 (per tax list) but William's father (Thomas; "born VA") was shown living there in 1840

It's a very informative site.
