My Grandfather was supposably a full blooded Cherokee Indian. He changed his name at some point in his life. I do not know his Indian name or his tribe. His Americanized name was Thomas Franklin McGowan. He was born in Tennessee. I would like to find any information about his birth and tribe as I could, but I do not know where to start. Could you help?

My maiden name is Hicks. I have been told that I have cherokee ancestors. My Great Grandfathers name was Lorenzo Dow Hicks. He married Rebecca West. Would like to hear from anyone with informatio on the Hicks name. Thank you, Teresa

Dear Quohadi:
I am looking for a link to my 5th great grandmother, on my grandfather Sutton's side. She was supposedly a Cherokee Indian by the name of "Betsy". Accounts vary as to where she was located. One that seems to be credible is that she was removed from North Carolina to Tennessee and then died on the Trail of Tears in 1835.

Another lead is that she was born in Tennessee and removed to the Great Smokey Mountains in South Carolina, later to die on the Trail of Tears when she was moved from there. Her name, according to this account was Betsey Betsy Te Las Sha SKE ,spouse of John Sutton who was born before 1755 in Bath Co, Virginia. She was born abt. 1762 in Ooltewah Creek, Polk Co, Tennessee. She died on the "Trail of Tears" in 1837. In 1835 she was moved by the US Army to the Great Smokey Mountains, South Carolina. The children of Betsy and John Sutton were listed as : John born about 1782 in Tennessee. This birthdate ties in with the estimated birthdate of John C. Sutton, but would make Betsey the spouse of my 6th great grandfather. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Regards, MaryLynn
