CANTRELL, FRY, FRYE

Hello, I am Dr. Richard Cantrell and I was raised in Albany, Georgia. I was born in 1954 and my father was James Howard Cantrell. He was born in March 1915 or 1916, probably in Tennessee, his father was Marion CANTRELL. He supposedly was married to a Cherokee Indian, last name FRYE or FRY. As both grandparents passed on prior to my birth and my father spoke little of them except of his Indian heritage, I have little to go on. I know that my Grandparents were married in Tennessee probably at the turn of the century give or take ten years but I don't know the county or anything like that and I know that the Cantrell's came to Tennessee from Georgia or South Carolina. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

HARLEY,STAFFORD,SWEARENGIN

I am looking for information on the HARLEY, STAFFORD and SWEARENGIN families in Jackson, Overton, and Putnam Counties. These families apparently came from North Carolina to Tennessee at an early date and there were many marriages between them. I am especially interested in the ancestors of Robert and Joseph SWEARENGIN who were enumerated with Hiram and Elizabeth STAFFORD HARLEY (of Jackson County, Tn.) on the 1860 census in Webster County, Missouri. These children were born in about 1851/52 and 1856/57 respectively, Robert listed as born in Tennessee and Joseph listed as born in Missouri.On Joseph's death certificate his parents are listed as John E. SWEARENGIN and his mother as_______ HARLEY. It is known that Elizabeth HARLEY, daughter of Hiram and Elizabeth STAFFORD HARLEY married Hugh SWEARENGIN and that they moved to Greene, then to Webster County, Missouri sometime before the 1860! census was taken.
