First Americans

My great great grandmother (daughter of the man's picture I posted below) said in almost all records she appears that she was born in "The United States". Period.

Seems she was Cherokee from Georgia and ended up in Arkansas (a removal dare I suggest?). Many of the Cherokee were from Virginia as well. Maybe this is where she really from?

Many ended up in the south like my mother. Seems her real mother was living in New Orleans all of those years she looked for her. She was married to a man whose family had lived in the French Quarter of New Orleans for many years.

Just a guess is all. So difficult to find out the truth about any of it eh?
