My grandmother was Betty Ann Greer Settles (1889 -1988), born in Shellmound, TN (now under Nickajack Lake), and was married to Rufus Settles of Jasper, TN, who died in 1924 in Chattanooga. (Rufus may have been adopted.) Grandma Betty’s parents were Alfred Greer (died in 1924), son of Sam & Betty Greer; and Rachael Burnett Greer (died in 1904), daughter of Dick & Liza Burnett. It is believed Liza was Cherokee. Sam & Betty Greer were, I understand, slaves for the McReynolds family of Shellmound, TN. I would be grateful for any information on any of my ancestors, as well as, the McReynolds family. I am particularly interested in info on Rufus Settles and Liza Burnett. Rachael’s sisters were Amy, Nancy, Emma (or Emily), and Lindy. One or more of whom married Alexanders? >From what I can determine, Sam & Betty were African- American. Liza, though Cherokee, was also a slave for the McReynolds. But Dick Burnett may have been White or Black, I’m not sure. Grandma Betty’s other siblings were Marcy, Amy, Clemy, Mary, Fred and Sam.
