Adrienne, nice having you aboard.Hope your search is easybut I can't help you.George is aparently on a branch I don't have completed.Have you any idea what Charlottes maiden name was?However,it is likely she didn't have any other than her indian name, if she was close to pure unless her parents also had converted.Intermarriage was a lot more common than you'd think considering all the wars, They often just took a "Christian name" and dropped anything indian.
You need to get in touch with Melba Lambert on this forum, she is the authority on all things Truss and a really sweet person too.I know she will be lots of help to you.You might start by just reviewing a lot of the messages she has posted. I would love to knowwhere they fit on the tree when youget them connected.She like Ihasfound clues on other intermarriages, but none we've been able to prove, so you are thefirst honest to goodnessconnection we know of. When you have a bit more get back to me and I'll but you in touch with some native American Researchers that will be able to help you a lot on any tribal connection.Because of the Indian rolls that were made before the Trail of Tears etc, there is more information than you might think
