I guess that I should be more specific to the Adkins line. Sorry!
Christine Carroll (1801) NC and MIchael Lowe
Louisa Carroll (1837) Lowe married Lacy Levi Adkins (1838)- born in TN
Lacys parents were John (Jackie) Staton Adkins and Mary Saunders – NC
The story is that Christine Carroll was full Cherokee.
A distant relative stated that Mary Saunders ( Mary Ann) was, or her family was on the rolls.
I have searched, and e-mailed. However, I am unable to substantuate any of the family legends.
Again! Please accept my thanks!
