My ggggggrandfather James GREENLEE came from Ireland in about the 1760's. He pushed inland and married a Cherokee woman named "Nancy" in NC. His son Louis was born in 1791 in GA (area disputed by GA and TN at the time, so, maybe actually TN) Reported to have lived most of his life near Cookson's Creek in Polk county. At that time, the area was still Cherokee Nation and was strictly forbidden (by US Gov't) to white residents. He married Elizabeth HUNT (b. 1799 TN). Would like to find documents about them and their Cherokee tribal relations.

PACK

Looking for possible Cherokee connection for Jeremiah PACK b.1794, said to be son of Smith PACK, SR. or Wood PACK. Jeremiah had one brother Thomas PACK, and possibly William Shorey PACK. Sources claiming William Shorey PACK and Elizabeth LOWREY cannot be correct because the dates are off by a generation.

FREELAMD, HIGDON

I am looking for information on my g.g.grandmother, RACHEL FREELAND, married to JAMES ANDERSON HIGDON.Family Tradition is that she was at least part Cherokee. I found them in the 1870 Polk Co. census, married with children. Then again, I found an application for Rachel and a person I believe to be one of her children on the Guion Miller Rolls. Rachel's father may have been HOWELL FREELAND (FELAND), mother ZELPHA (SELPHA) Campbell. Any information to help me out will be greatly appreciated.
