Any help in discovering my Cherokee ancestry would be appreciated greatly. They lived in or near Cleveland, TN. My grandmother’s mother had Cherokee blood, either 1/4 or 1/2. Her name was Ollie Oleana Brown and her maiden name may have been Webb but her mother’s maiden name was Richmond, I think. It could be vice versa. And I think Ollie’s father was called Tom but not sure. He was married to Martha Ann Richmond Webb, I believe. But it was the father who was Cherokee, I think. Any help at all would be wonderful…I want very much to know what clan they were from and any other info that is available. Many thanks!
