DETTERO, DOTHEROW, DETHROW, DETHROE, DEATHEROO, TETHEROW, TOTHEROW, DETHEROW
Am looking for any info on Jacob Dethro Sr. and Jacob Dethro Jr. (parents, background, etc.) who are listed with their families on the TN census of 1850 and stated that they were from Bradley County. The Dethro/Dettero/Detherow/Tetherow/Totherow (name spelled 37 different ways) family are believed to be connected to Elias “Eli” Samuel DETHROW (b1826), David DOTHEROW (b1825), and Joseph C. DEATHEROO (B1821), 3 orphan boys who lost their mother when she drown (not verified). Eli was sent to be raised by an old “doctor” (don’t know if that was occupation or 1st name) who raced horses (and was so good at it that he disguised his horse, or so the story goes). Would be appreciative of any info that can help us find the parents of my 3 boys. Hoping that something of this story is familiar to someone!! Thank you.

Harry Dill was the brother of Ruth Regina (1) Dill who married Benjamin Franklin MARTIN; history in McMinn Co. and Bradley Co., well known. Nancy Rogers’ parents are my “brick wall”! Family verbal history has Nancy as the daughter of William Rogers and Mary (Last name unknown) who may be at least part Cherokee. Mary is suposed to be buried in the “Old Presbyterian Cemetery” in Calhoun. William Rogers may have served as either Postmaster, or Mayor or both (of Calhoun) ca. 1840-50. He may also have had something to do with the Indian Agency in the earlier days. Any help that you could provide would be most appreciated. Even to “disprove” the Postmaster/Mayor story would help—- Thanks

CARSON, HENDERSON, BALL
This is my first inquirey into my Native American ancestry. On my maternal side I am told that my 3gr. grandmother was Caldonia CARSON, a full-blood Cherokee. There is in the family a very large portrait of her and she appears to be full blood. My grandmother was Ella HENDERSON BALL, of Bradley co., b. 1879, and Caldonia CARSON was her grandmother. It could be possible that being so close to Cherokee co. NC, and considering the time that the portion of Bradley co. could still have been a part of North Carolina. If there is anyone out there that has any knowledge of these family connections I would truly appreciate any info you would be willing to give to me. I have nothing to share or I would generously do so. Just any advice as to how to begin would be helpful; I tried the late 1800s census’, but could find nothing that would connect. Thanks, E.
