Find Family

We are part Cherokee. My search began with our Nancy Ward Ancestors and any connecting lines. Thanks to: Jerri Chasteen at Indian Territory Rootweb Mailing List,and researcher Jim Hicks, (see link to his page).

Credits & Kudos:
So many have given me info incorporated here, either their own research or leads that helped me find valuable info. I make no claim that this is "All" my work. Most of the work on these families have been done & documented by others. I have located and added valuable info to most lines; including census, pics, property, wills, bibles, probate & other records.

Special thanks for all their hard work and sharing info to: Bill Evans, Bill Watkins, Virginia Logan, Rhonda Chesnutt, Mildred Fowler Madison, Christopher Fowler, Lee Fowler, James Noblett, Immogene Inman, Hazel Whitaker, Patsy Moyer, Ron Shoshnowski, Karen Adams, Bob Ringo and so many more!!!!

DISCLAIMER:
I only have brief info on this site. As so many others have researched these lines before me, if you would like more indepth facts, stories ect... I will put you in touch with them, along with sending you what I have. As stated, many others research is incorporated here!

Drown: week of Aug 28, 1914 near Tahlequah in Illinios River, trying to save their child. Of their 9 children, I need more info on: Ted, Alle Mae, Maude & Nutch Jones. I have info on the rest.

I only have her birth, death dates places, her marriages and her children, along with the 2 pics here on site! Facts simply don't let you know the person. If you ever heard of Dolly, please contact me. Her parents were Charles Edwin Moyer & Mary Josephine "Josie" Spurgeon. She was born in 1903 in Elsmore, Kansas and lived her life in Oklahoma, around Oklahoma City, Anadarko & Guthrie. She married William Minor Jones, who went by Blackie, the John Harlan Williams.
