Womack states that at least three groups camped in Warren County, one at Shellsford, one at Irving College, and one on Old Shelbyville Road near Crisp Springs. There is more in his book about the Trail of Tears.

DRAKE, HOLLAND

In researching my Cherokee heritage: my grandmother Lena Mae DRAKE who I believe was born in McMinnville (or very close by) in 1898 (I think). She was from a large family. I remember two sisters names (Sofie and Phoebe). She is said to be a half-blood Cherokee descendent. She married Sheridan Wesley HOLLAND in the early 1920s; however, I don't know if they married in Tennessee. My grandpa, Sheridan Wesley HOLLAND, is said to be a full-blood Cherokee descendent and born in Texas in 1902 (I think). I searched a little on the Dawes Rolls for my paternal great-grandpa, Jesse Worthy HOLLAND without luck. My grandparents lived in Park Hill, Oklahoma many years until grandpa's death in 1978. I think I have a 2nd cousin from Tennessee: Tom DRAKE. Any information about the DRAKE's having any relation/heritage with the Cherokee Nation is appreciated.
