Researching one's family tree
is a long process and and only the ones close to your heart and in
your life can be verified in the beginning.
Browsing through
the many other family trees on the internet we can find thousands of
new cousins, and thankfully there are many census records, cemetery
records, etc. available to verify those.
Some may not be
verified and need further research. I have ordered a few death
certificates, browsed through boxes of our old family photos with
names and dates on them, cards, letters, and notebooks, to put this
together, yet am quite certain there are still many corrections and
additions to come.
Dozens of new cousins have emailed me
with some detail about their connection to my lineage and it's been
wonderful getting to know you all. Some want me to show them their
indian blood which is impossible, I only know my own. I know that my
dad was one quarter Cherokee and his sister calls her son Regal
Eagle and my mom's great great grandpa Stephens married a full blood
Cherokee in SC before his journey to the Dublin / Ramer area where I
have visited a few times to do my research. Her great great
grandmother Nancy Anderson has two grandmothers from Cherokee blood
and maybe more.
Both of my parents had Cherokee blood but it
is highly possible there was some other native american blood in
their lineage. Many of my mother's ancestors lived among the Creeks
in the 1700s and my father's lineage was in Kentucky 1800 where many
tribes had migrated, yet soon after, they all began to migrate to
Iowa Territory and Indiana, ending up in Arkansas and
Oklahoma.
it's been said that my dad's great grandfather John
Wright Little refused an indian land allotment however he did uproot
his family from their Kentucky roots to migrate to a homestead in
Arkansas and his descendants ended up in Alabama.
When I was
looking into my husband's line I was told that his mom's grandmother
Partridge was an indian from Georgia and I did find her families on
census there before they all moved into Elmore County

had no idea that her grandmother was Annie Lee Stone Fenn
Carter born about 1875, so she chose to use her own mother's

Cherokee we are searching for. Of course Annie Lee Stone
might have married a half blood Wm Fenn in 1893 as we see
the Cherokee blood runs strong in his mother's line of
Harrell.

When I began working the Sellers lineage of
my mother, I found where one of the cousins, Nathaniel Sellers
married a Schrimpshire girl and her sister married an Indian Chief
Dennis Bushyhead. I have several of those branches !!! In the
Sellers case, the Sellers and Andersons already had Indian blood in
their line from their grandmothers of North Carolina 1700s. The
Scrimpshire father, Martin, had married a Gunter who was full blood
Cherokee and they all resided in Guntersville Alabama. One of the
Gunters married a McCoy girl but then I found one of my Fenn
grandfathers did also!! Mrs Fenn then named a son Travis and he
married a girl only known as ?Mary?. which might be another
clue.
Then I looked for the parents of Martin
Schrimpshire and found his mother was listed online as ?Edith Kona
Edna Vann? - lo and behold another famous Cherokee name, which is
where I need to study their hometown known as Big Joe Vann?s Spring
Place in Georgia.
My own grandfather Cecil Fenn Carter said
they were Cherokee and I managed to locate his sister Carrie in
Choctaw Nation Oklahoma. Carrie's husband Ben Johnson was born
in Indian Nation, Texas but his mother was an indian from Alabama
and his father "denied" her the right to join the Rolls.
Carrie and Cecil had a brother, Frank Jr.,
who called them "half" siblings so maybe Mr. Carter was the father
of them - we will never know ! There are many Carter families
online researching their Cherokee blood. What we do know is
that William Fenn born 1855 in Tuskegee Alabama married Anna Lou
Stone in 1893 and she left him about 1900 to remarry, but she joined
her family in Macon Georgia. Anna's Uncle Charles Stone named
his sons Tecumseh and Osceola.Also when I studied my daughter's
Westbrook family, I found their great great grandfather named a son
with his second wife, Osceola.
Following the path of the old ones.
We lived along Mingo Road in Broken Arrow, Tulsa County,
Oklahoma and my dad's parents at one time lived in Chelsea, Rogers
County, Oklahoma before settling in Labette, KS.
Many of his
family migrated into Arizona near many indian reservations which
still exist and we soon joined them living by his Aunt Eunice. Mom's
brothers visited often and one owned a roofing company in Enid, OK
while the other lived in North Carolina, where his wife's
grandfather was a pastor in the Cherokee Reservation.
We
lived amongst people of all colors and heard many different
languages and took note of various traditions.

Jacob Benjamin Cochran was my dad's
grandfather. He was born in 1822 Ohio and was in the
Civil War. His grandfather Alexander Cochran of Pennsylvania was
in the American Revolution. Jacob married Clora Jane Miller about
1879 in Iowa and had Frank Delbert when they settled in Hill City
Kansas. Frank D. married Luella Coonfield in Arkansas and
had my Dad in 1927. Luella's family came from Kentucky, her mom
was Lattie Cedonia Little, a daughter of John Wright Little and
Catherine Crigler. Catherine's parents were Catherine Roby
and Abraham Crigler. The Coonfields were in Kentucky by 1800
and so were the others.
Meanwhile in Alabama about 1826, Peter Bozeman settled in Hope
Hull and all along through Ramer and Dublin were found our Elisha
Anderson, Abner Broadway, Calvin Sellers, John Stephens, and after
the Civil War came Josiah Marion McClain. About
that time John Fenn settled in Tuskegee and had a son William
Franklin Fenn who married Anna Lou Stone in 1893 and had a son
Cecil Earl around 1900. William worked on his uncle Matthew
Fenn's plantation in Eufaula but Anna divorced him and left about
1901 with Cecil. Her parents were born in Macon County, Mary
Ann Hendrick and Augustus Marvin Fenn.
In 1861 Peter Edward Bozeman married Nancy Jane Anderson and
worked their 40 acre cotton farm in Dublin. His mother was
Martha Hill born about 1800 South Carolina and they lived near her
brother John Hill, who created Hills Chapel, the church, the
school and the cemetery. It is possible that their father
the elder John Hill once lived there as well.
Nancy's son John Thomas Bozeman married Alice Lorena Stephens
and she had Lorena Emma Bozeman in 1890, and Ethel Mae about
1892. Alice died birthing a son in 1894. Then John married
Sarah Ellen Bean and several more children came including our
Uncle Bob.
Lorena married Charles Allen McClain, the son of Elizabeth
Broadway and Josiah McClain. Josiah was born in Georgia to
"Anna" and James McClain. James' grandparents came from
Virginia in the 1700s, Elizabeth Moon and Charles McClain, found
in 1800 Spartanburg SC.
Lorena McClain had Alice and she married Cecil Earl Fenn
Carter. His mother Anna Lou Stone Fenn had remarried and gave him
the Carter name. Cecil had served several years in the Army
in El Paso but returned after his mother died and stayed in
Montgomery near his sickly father Wm Fenn who had left the farm
and retired near the train station with most of his other children
who began to work for the railroad.
Alice and Cecil lived on Columbus Street and had three children
including my mother born in 1934, Anne. Anne grew up
to marry Frankie Cochran. Anne's daughter married
Charles Brooks. His family also came from downtown
Montgomery around 1900 where his grandpa James E. Brooks
worked for the State, but his daddy worked for the railroad.
James was the son of Annie Ballard and John Brooks of Tennessee
and he married Susie Mae Cooper, the daughter of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper.
Susie named her son James Jr and he married
Mary Ella Thornton who's ancestors are found in Elmore County in
the 1800s.

Our ancestors met before the Civil
War. They came together in Montgomery sharing cotton plantations
in the fields you now see when passing through
Montgomery on I-65. Yet after the war this land was
worthless, being destroyed as Wilsons Raiders burned a path
through the state but these families struggled to revive as much
as they could. I found an old cemetery with some tombstones dating
back to 1793 on this property and then tried to trace their
descendants across town. In 1900 I find them again in downtown
Montgomery near the train station as many others had migrated into
our lineage and they once again worked together. In fact my mother
in law in 1950 had taken in the widow of my great grandfather when
she had no place to go. My husband's cousin Sue Carol on his
mother's side married one of my mother's Bozeman Cousins and his
father's great grandpa Thomas Carter was once married to another
of our Bozeman Cousins in Hope Hull. Our families
were always close, we just did not realize how very close.
My father came from Kansas and married my mom in Montgomery in
1951, while he was stationed at Maxwell AFB after injuries from
being shot in the Korean War - his lineage was partly in
Pennsylvania and South Carolina before migrating into Kentucky and
Ohio and then on into the midwest. Together we have dozens
of grandfathers in the American Revolution and the Civil
War.

.I have uploaded records,
photos, documents to the web and most can be found through the
searchbox below if the links still work. Some servers keep
changing things around and items get lost but eventually if you
search within www.usgenweb.com the information
will appear. I had once posted on aol hometown pages but
after ten years of hard labor, they deleted that server and so did
rootschat.com, so while the freepages are available they do hold a
lot of wonderful genealogy, but once they are gone, so is our
work.

My parents were Annie Carter and Frankie
Cochran and
there are many names in their ancestry. I am also researching the
ancestors of my husband, Charles Brooks. and saving it all on various webpages. and creating my own internet family
webring and searchbox so that any of our relatives can be looked up. There are many
free webspace providers online, like Rootsweb.com or angelfire.com therefore I have many links to peruse.
Along with collecting family stories and documents, I am also
researching the military records, finding several who served in the
Civil War. and several listed in the DAR catalog
online.
Now with tons of census records and documents, I am
researching their hometowns, trying to learn more about their
neighbors and their lifestyle.
When I began working the Sellers lineage of my mother, I found
where one of the cousins, Nathaniel Sellers married a Schrimpshire
girl and her sister married an Indian Chief Dennis Bushyhead. I have

Also when I studied my daughter's Westbrook family, I
found their great great grandfather named a son with his second
wife, Osceola.
My own transcription of 1840 Montgomery
Captain George Little and Isaac Coonfield were the grandfathers
of the Cochrans
who had migrated into
Kentucky about 1800, but this line also intermarried with the
Criglers, Douglass, Handley, Roby, Simmons, Wright, Weatherford,
Swearengin, Wells, Clark, Young, Henderson, Sturgeon, Miller,
Crawford, Parker, Tefft, White, Sweet, names.
My grandmother was Luella
Coonfield Cochran and she was Cherokee by blood from some of those
above.
Annie Carter's line
includes Fann, Stone, Anderson, Brack, Doty, Stephens, Bozeman,
Moon, McClain,Harrell, Sellers, Fenn, Wood, Broadway, Hill, most of
whom began in Virginia and migrated south.
The Brooks line
includes, Thornton, Hood, Baxley, Partridge, Culpepper, Blackstone,

and Tennessee.

www.accessgenealogy.comHas tons of
records, Indian rolls, military and many other free records,
biographies and images .
One thing in researching our ancestors, nearly every line was
honored to have someone Who served in the American Revolution and
then another in the Civil War, as well as Other military services.
These records are available on the internet.
Most are able to find one relative on the Trail Of Tears but none
of mine yet. They married whites and lived as white.
Many were lost to diseases, fevers, other epidemics and many were
orphaned, had legal guardians, adopted or just took up with another
family.
Some famous names were in South Carolina living near my families,
Rogers, McQueen, Weatherford, McIntosh, McGillvary, Gist, wasn?t
Sequoyah?s father a Guist? There was even a non cousin Cynthia
Parker kidnapped in the 1800s by an Indian and she gave birth to the
next Indian chief Quannah Parker. Amazing history even with common
names. Many of my surnames are found in Indian Nation Oklahoma, just
not my direct line.
I did find my grandpa Frank D. Cochran and his wife Luella in
1920 census living near Will Rogers in Chelsea, Rogers County,
Oklahoma, near many other Coonfields who did marry Indians. Will
Rogers became a famous actor and Indian chief. His father Clement
had come from South Carolina into Tennessee. Great reading. My
parents were living in Broken Arrow on Mingo Road in Tulsa Oklahoma
when I was born. Mother was tracing her roots even back then. Her
brother Billy Carter loved Indian Country and remained in Enid
Oklahoma for many years.
There were several Rogers families around my Bozemans in South
Carolina who migrated to Alabama in the 1820s, while Alabama was
still a wilderness full of beasts and several Indian tribes.
Usgenweb.com has each state listed and offers a ton of old stuff
to read and study and of course the census records online at
ancestry or heritage quest help locate the families, with dates and
ages, and place of birth, but then you get to see their neighbors
and often times, the neighbors were family members.
When I found George Little in Kentucky, two of his sons lived by
him, two of his married daughters, then his in laws and as each
decade passed, there were many more to find near them who had also
intermarried into the lineage.
He was born 1733...age 21 when he came to America ( 1754 )
married and then 10 children.....was in war 1776 at age 43 for two
years in the Third Regiment of the Colonial Army..was Sargent,
Lieutenant, then Captain until Tarleton's men shot him in the hip
causing disability......on 1790 census with 10 others in
household...
His son Jonas Little married Betsy Douglass and then George
married Betsy?s widowed mother, Mary Handley Douglass. Jonas named a
son Douglass Little and one Hiram Little, then having several other
children all born in Kentucky around 1820. The Wright sisters came
along and married
Hiram and Douglass. The mother of the Wright girls was Catherine
Weatherford, a daughter of Charles Weatherford, born in Charlotte
Virginia to Mary Half Blood. Of all the many Weatherfords I have
researched during that era, he is the only one I have found who
could have moved to Alabama and married Sehoy. The father of Charles
was Martin Weatherford , a wealthy planter who surely made his mark
in history, being banned from the state of Georgia and fled to the
Bahamas. The son of Charles was William Weatherford, or Chief Red
Eagle, and those Creek Indians were all over south Alabama, but then
I found many other of my relatives around south Alabama and wonder,
was there Creek blood in my line? Why were so many of our
ancestors moving into the indian nation.
Grandpa William Fenn was born in Tuskegee Alabama, former Creek
Nation. His wife Anna Stone was also born in Macon County , former
Creek Nation, but their son said he was Cherokee. When the parents
and grandparents of the Fenns and Stones are studied in early
Georgia around 1700s, they were among Creek and Cherokee. William
told his children that the baby, Cecil ( my grandfather ) was only
their ?half? sibling. Anna divorced William and moved back to Macon
Georgia and married a Carter - Cecil used that name and never used
the Fenn name, even though he visited them often.
William had managed his cousin?s Fenn Plantation in Eufaula for
many years and many slaves and Indians had worked the crops -
perhaps one was the Carter man? This we will never know. Barbour
County history mentions the plantation owner Matthew Fenn who had
left Georgia and bought up hundreds of acres of land in Alabama.
Cecil was said to have been a mean husband to my granny Alice
McClain, that he would get drunk and beat her, causing her death,
once she delivered her third child. Then he drank himself to death
only a few years after. The children were raised by the McClains and
probably never met the Fenns until they had grown to adulthood. They
had a very poor difficult life and were teased and taunted about
being Indians.
When I began interviewing people about the McClains and Bozemans
of Ramer I found that the Bozeman men were also rough with their
women. Lorena?s father married 4 times but only two had children
with him. One left him soon after the marriage. They were cotton
farmers and also had a poor life, with very little education. It is
said that the Bozeman ancestors who had settled in Hope Hull lost
everything due to the Civil War.
Anne Alice Carter married Frankie Lavern Cochran in 1951 and was
blessed to have such a good honest hard working man. His mother was
Luella Coonfield Cochran and she told her children that she was ?
Cherokee blood. Her mother was Lattie Little who had married Ben
Coonfield in Arkansas and granny Lattie said they had mixed blood
from another tribe as well.
On one census record about 1910 Lattie?s grandfather Abraham
Crigler is living with them - he had become widowed in Kentucky when
his wife Catherine Roby passed away. Lattie?s father John Wright
Little had made that same move several years prior, when his wife,
Catherine Crigler died.
Family lore has it that John was offered a land allotment in
Oklahoma?s Indian Territory and he refused it. He was a blacksmith
in the Civil War and I have his military records. John is now buried
on some unknown mountain top in Arkansas.
Starting my husband?s genealogy, I found my cousin Wayne Bozeman
married to Charlie?s cousin Sue Carol - her mother was a Thornton
and told her kids that their granny Mary Angeline Partridge Thornton
was an Indian out of Georgia, who settled into Central, Elmore
County, Alabama. They lived at Cold Springs. When you visit Central,
you find Lake Martin and Kowaliga, where the old wooden indian
stands by the restaurant near the open church in the pines, a
beautiful area.
I found their great grandpa Brooks married in Tennessee to Annie
Clark Ballard. Annie had only one child, James, who married Mamaw -
Susie Mae Cooper. Susie?s grandfather was Thomas R Carter of South
Carolina, born 1820, and his first wife was a Bozeman. Thomas had
bought a small piece of land from my Bozeman grandfather at Hope
Hull off McLean Road. That farm was once 160 acre cotton plantation
owned by American Revolution Patriot Peter Bozeman born 1755 North
Carolina, who was in Darlington South Carolina 1800 where he was
given a few hundred acres for his service in the war. Peter and
several other families had moved to Hope Hull so the census of 1830
Alabama resembles the 1820 census of Darlington.
They had Alabama Fever!
The land of cotton, corn and faith.
There are many books I have found to include my ancestors and
surely there are many more to be discovered. Some pages are
scanned and placed in my webpages to verify their place in time.

Notes
My daughter's Marriage into the Westbrook family, now there are
many new names to study like Grauer, Glass, Holt, Braswell, Penton,
Jones, Holly. Daddy, Charles Brooks had dozens and dozens of
ancestors migrating into Alabama in the early 1800s. Joseph Baxley
born 1815 Georgia or possibly as some speculate, in SC., married
Mary Evans and named a son James H. - the tombstone of James has the
middle name as Hardie. James served in the Civil War and married
Louisa Miranda Holt and resided in "Holtville". Their daughter Ella
Olivia Baxley married L. W. Hood and had Bessie Mae Hood who married
Milton Elijah Thornton. Elijah's parents were Mary Angeline
Partridge, an indian, and George Thornton, a mixed blood from
Georgia, who had settled in Central, Elmore County, Alabama.
Elijah's daughter, Mary Ella Thornton married James Edgar Brooks Jr.
Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. James
and Susie are listed on the 1930 census with both their widowed
mothers. Susie's ancestors were in Chambers County about 1830:
Andrew Cooper and "Alsey" from SC living near Malinda Phillips and
Elijah Lee born 1777 SC. Their children Sarah F. Lee married Charner
P. Cooper, a soldier from the Civil War, and had a son named Levi
who moved to Hope Hull working on a farm owned by Thomas Randolph
Carter, where he fell in love with the daughter, Sarah Elizabeth
Carter. Parents of Thomas were "Mary" and John Wise Carter of SC who
had migrated to Talledega. Thomas is buried in Hope Hull on his old
plantation by his first wife Lacy Jane Bozeman. Her name was Lucy on
census but Lacy on her tombstone. Thomas served in the Civil War and
his grandfather Captain John Carter served in the American
Revolution, along with his own father in law, John Wise of South
Carolina....The second wife of Thomas Carter was Mary Josephine
Hereferd of Virginia and she was the mother of Sarah Elizabeth
Carter...Mary was not very happy with this marriage and had only the
one child. She buried Thomas by his first wife. Some of Mary's
family settled in Alabama and some moved on to Texas. Mary's mother
was Jemima Ramsey of Virginia..Parents of James Brooks were Annie
Ballard and John Brooks of Tennesse and they are all buried at
Greenwood Cemetery in Montgomery Alabama. John was a railroad man,
born to Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and a John Brooks born 1837
Pennsylvania. John 1837 died of tuberculosis in Texas. Parents of
Roxanna were Caroline Bond and Thomas Smith. Parents of Annie
Ballard were Dora Craig and James Ballard of TN. Some of these
families migrated into Tennessee about 1800 from the Carolinas
living amongst the Cherokee Indians and Chickasaw so they could have
been mixed blood. Annie's picture shows she was a dark lady with
black eyes and black hair and so was her husband's features very
dark but I would suspect his from the Smith side of the
family....

Welcome!
By 1700 in North Carolina were born several
families of Sellers, Anderson, Bozeman and Brack, while
the state was still mostly Indian Nation. Other
family histories indicate most took an indian
bride. Most are recognized by the DAR for their
service in the American Revolution. Many of their
neighbors are famous in Native American
History.
Many of the sons and grandsons served in
several battles, like the War of 1812, migrated into
Georgia, and were in Alabama 1820s. When the lands
of Texas opened to the whites, a few migrated and some
returned to Alabama. Many served in the Civil War,
along with Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee and
Jackson.
Probate Records and Military Records along
with Census Images verify their footprints in
time.
The Campaign of 1860 was a campaign that would
decide the United States fate. There were two main
candidates, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas;
Buchanan had retired from public service. The
South had said if Abraham Lincoln won the Campaign
of 1860 and became the next President they would
withdraw from the Union. Abraham Lincoln won the
Presidency in 1860, having won two-thirds of the
electoral votes, but he only had forty percent of
the popular vote.
President Abraham Lincoln had quite a bit to
deal with: within the first four months of him
becoming President seven states had already
seceded from the Union, letting him know that he
was not wanted as President. But Lincoln had a job
to do: his main interest at this point was keeping
the Union together, and he did not have any real
concerns about abolishing slavery.
When
the southern states of Alabama, Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas
seceded they formed the Confederate States. The
Confederate states had set out to attack Fort
Sumter in 1861. Lincoln tried to halt this attempt
by ordering the navy to blockade southern ports,
this preventing the trade of the Southโs
moneymaker, cotton. This also prevented the South
from obtaining manufactured goods it needed from
the North, goods that were essential such as guns
and clothing the South could not produce for
itself. The beginning of the war forced four more
states to reluctantly join the Confederacy.
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
and Arkansas felt they had no other choice, due to
the fact they also were slave states.
The main problem the South had was that they
did not have a Unified Army. They had regional
pride: each state or region would have their own
small army, and there was not a lot of
unification. But they soon got their act together;
when the first real battle of the Civil War took
place at a creek called, Bull Run, the
Confederates surprised the Union. Under the
leadership of General Thomas โStonewallโ Jackson,
the Confederate army soon sent the Union running
back to Washington.
With this defeat the Northerners realized that
this was not just a rebellion that would be easily
defeated, this was WAR.
After loosing the battle of Bull Run, Lincoln
changed generals; his new appointed General was
George B. McClellan. During the summer of 1862,
General Robert Lee and General George McClellan
met, again at Bull Run; this meeting would mean a
second victory for the Confederate Army at Bull
Run. Then Lee moved onward North, into the Union
State of Maryland. In Maryland is where the Battle
of Antietam occurred. This is considered one of
the bloodiest days of the Civil War. Both the
Union and Confederate armies suffered great
losses. This was barely a victory for the Union
army, but it was a victory. With this loss Lee
retreated back towards the South, the Union gave
chase but was not quick enough to catch them.
With the victory at Antietam, Lincoln choose
this time to deliver The Emancipation
Proclamation: this executive order freed the
slaves in the areas that rebellion was
established, but it did not free the slaves in the
Union slave states or in areas that the Union
recaptured. At this point, the point of the war
completely changed from preservation of the Union
to the abolition of slavery.
Lincoln also decided to change generals again:
he was not satisfied with the performance of
McClellan, nor was he satisfied with the next two
generals, General Ambrose Burnside and General
Joseph Hooker: neither of these really wanted the
job. Finally, Lincoln appointed General George
Meade, very soon after his appointment there came
the bloodiest, most gruesome battle of the Civil
War, Gettysburg. This battle was fought on July 1,
1863: it was a hard battle, and it became a Union
victory, with more than forty-five thousand men
killed and wounded. It was a devastating site for
both Meade and Lee, General Lee had lost almost
two-third of his entire army, and Meade had lost
one-forth of his. Their thoughts were focused on
that there were so many dead for the cause.
Lincoln chose this time to travel
to Gettysburg to deliver what is now known as the
Gettysburg Address. The address was 272 words
long, and did not mention slavery, the battle or
the Union Army. It was widely accepted by all
people.
After Gettysburg, Lincoln had decided to change
Generals again. This time his choice was Ulysses
S. Grant, his best change for the Union yet. Grant
was a fighter, he captured important Confederate
forts in Tennessee and led the Union army in a
battle at Vicksburg and won. Then Grantโs only
thought was getting Lee and Richmond.
This was the beginning of the end, with William
Tecumseh Sherman destroying the Confederateโs way
of getting materials to fight the war by
destroying railroads,
factories and its plantations. He was breaking the
spirit of the Confederacy: when Sherman burned
Atlanta it was all but over. Grant surrounded
Richmond and it fell to the Union army on April
3,1865. Lee surrendered and it was a mournful day
for the Confederacy: the Union had stripped it of
its most valued treasure, their PRIDE, and the
Confederacy was on its knees, they thought, never
to rise again.
Just twelve days after the surrender of Lee,
President Lincoln was attending a show at the Ford
Theater, where he was fatally wounded. He died on
April 15, 1865.
Ironically Booth performed a few times
at the theatre in downtown Montgomery according to
the Historical Marker on Perry
Street.
The idol of the South to this day, Virginian
Robert E. Lee had some difficulty in adjusting to
the new form of warfare that unfolded with the
Civil war, but this did not prevent him from
keeping the Union armies in Virginia at bay for
almost three years. The son of Revolutionary War
hero "Light Horse" Harry Lee-who fell into
disrepute in his later years attended West Point
and graduated second in his class. During his four
years at the military academy he did not earn a
single demerit and served as the cadet corps'
adjutant. Upon his 1829 graduation he was posted
to the engineers. Before the Mexican War he served
on engineering projects in Georgia, Virginia, and
New York. During the war he served on the staffs
of John Wool and Winfield Scott. Particularly
distinguishing himself scouting for and guiding
troops, he won three brevets and was slightly
wounded at Chapultepec.
My research includes an Elijah Lee born
1777 migrated into Chambers County Alabama about
1820.

END OF PART 2.
In part 3 ,I want to discuss sisters
Lavinia and Elizabeth Anderson who married
Sellers brothers. Each had Cherokee Blood on the
paternal and maternal side. They had two
grandmothers who were of the Cherokee Tribe
on their fathers side that made their Father
half Cherokee. They also had Cherokee blood on
their mother's side too,having at least one
grandmother of Cherokee orgin,making their
grandmother Lavinia Brack at least one quarter
blood
Cherokee. ------------------------------------ Mary--this
just caught my eye--I have a ggrandma Jennie Ann
Anderson, ggrandpa made her mad by calling her
Black Dutch. My dad said she would be ready to
kill when he called her that. Did this record give
the names of the two Anderson girls ancestors,
did they have a brother to pass the name
down? Sandyfroglegs

her husband came to Ala. with husband and the
large Sheppard clan from Jefferson Co. Ga.in
the 1820''s. Probate Records: (1) 2 March 1812

Elisha Sellers. Elisha Sellers ,the next
generation,was the father of Alfred Sellers
and William Calvin Sellers Sr.,b. ca.1760
NC.d.NC. William Calvin Sellers Sr,(1) entered
the Revolutionary War at the age of 16 and
fought for 6 years and at one time was a prisoner
of The Tories.Similar records were found on
Elisha Sellers,and several persons have joined
the DAR on his records. An article in Memorial
Records Of Ala. states that William Calvin
Sellers Sr. lived to be 100 years old,also that
he died in NC. His widow came to Ala. William
Calvin Sellers Jr. and Alfred

END OF PART 2.
In part 3 ,I want to discuss sisters
Lavinia and Elizabeth Anderson who married
Sellers brothers. Each had Cherokee Blood on the
paternal and maternal side. They had two
grandmothers who were of the Cherokee Tribe
on their fathers side that made their Father
half Cherokee. They also had Cherokee blood on
their mother's side too,having at least one
grandmother of Cherokee orgin,making their
grandmother Lavinia Brack at least one quarter
blood Cherokee. Alfred Sellers himself may have
had Cherokee Blood too. His paternal
grandmother Mary Willis was probably a member of
the Cherokee tribe,and his ggrandmother may
have been a full blood Chrokee . Her name is
unknown
Here is a brief direct lineage on the
Anderson side ,beginning with the earliest
known by Carl V. Wright 1. Edmond Anderson,b.?
m.?NC, Sarah (probably full blood
cherokee Cherokee-not
proven)d,1742N.C. 2.Elmore Anderson

Dec 1818,Jefferson Co. Ga.to Alfred Sellers
d.1856.Coosa Co. Ala. 5. James Wesley Sellers
b. 1823 Jefferson Co. Ga. Steve says: I will
mention that it is thru Lavinia Brack and her
Mother Ester Doty that we can trace our line
back to Edward Doty ,of the Mayflower,and
thence to the European lines of royalty back 33
generations to "Alfred The Great"and even
earlier. Also the Holmes line is traceable back
in Europe over 14 more generations,but all this is
clearly beyond the scope of email messages of
this sort. I would hope you will provide me
with a descendant genealogy of your husband's
family from James Wesley Sellers to your
family.
Lou that is about all I have gotten
from Steve, I will try to contact him again. I
did send him a package like I sent to you,with no
comment as of yet, So maybe he isn't done with
the census work he has been doing.
