In reply to:
Childress/Cherokee Indian
4/11/98
My husband's great/great grandfather was John Thomas Childers who married a full-blood Cherokee Indian, Mary Elizabeth.I have not been able to find any information on her or John Thomas' family.I do know they married in Clay County AL 7/2/1882 and that he apparently met her when driving a wagon on the Trail of Tears.
Would appreciate any help.I checked out the Dawes Commission and could find nothing on her, but lots of Cherokees and Wyandots named Childers.
