That was interesting information. Thanks for sharing.
Supposedly my great grandfather and his sister had a discussion a long time ago about going to
Oklahoma and claiming land. At that time around the year 1900, my great grandfather said
that was for the Indians.
Therefore even though my great grandfather had the look, and even the heritage which may or may
not be able to be proven either then or now, he was not interested in claiming it. He was born in
Macon, Georgia and his parents had married at Cedartown, Georgia.
What about all those Cherokee people who first left more or less of their own free will going into
what is now northwest Arkansas. Was there a list of who among the Cherokees went freely early on?
Like I said, I look just like the fair skinned CSA Irishman soldier.
Thanks for the input.
