I am at a stand still myself, my grandfather was supposingly a run away after he lost his parents, I'm not sure which one dies first but do know one of them was killed, I'm thinking it was his father, which was full blooded cherokee, I remember Grandpa telling me that he had married a white woman and then went by her surname Goins. He went by Chief RedBird but I haven't ben able to find him on the Rolls. But he had started going by George Goins after marriage. I don't even know if my Grandfather Jack is an only child, he never really would talk about it much so it must have been very painful for him. I know my Great Grandparents were from Oklahoma but that is all I know. If anyone has any info I would love to hear from you.
