Hi Sheila,
I am just now finding this post (not sure why, as I check you blogs/posts frequently lol). Thanks for the info. It is helpful since somewhere along my search I made the connection/assumption that Joseph’s father was Jesse, son of William V.This changes my tree up on that branch signifigantly. I’ll let ya know what I find on the Hiigns/Halbert side.
I was also wondering about the descendants of Elijah Adkins and White Wing Cornstalk, there arent many posts about them in your website. I am curious if you’ve had many other inquiries about them or their descendants? I did search the Guion Miller Roll and found several Adkins listed there, one being:
37096 Eli Adkins Tenn.
but still yet no proof of which “Eli Adkins” that is.
I am so curious because my being descendant of White Wing ties me to two great Chiefs in history and I would love to connect the dots and prove that this is my heritage.
I read somewhere that you don’t have to prove degree of blood in th e Shawnee Tribe, only a connection. But as for the Cherokee, I’m still in search of a roll number on the Dawes Final Roll that connects to me. Being aware that it’s possible that I may not, I’m striving harder in my search. The thing I lack beyond connection is time, but isn’t that all of us, lol.
Your site is wonderful and helpful, again I thank you.
Carie
