My grandfather, Willia...Thanks for answering, Sue! My grandfather, William Berry Parker, told his kids that his grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee. Unfortunately, he died in 1947 so there's so much we don't know. His mother was a Dillard from South Carolina, her ancestors having come from Scotland in early 1700's. His grandfather was Benjamin Franklin Parker of Tennessee, who was married to the daughter of Temperance. I'll keep searching because I KNOW we have Native American roots on that side of my family---chiefly because of the physical attributes of some of my family. It's fascinating, isn't it to find who we are.

I have not come across any Native Americans in my family, although my father thought that we had some. I assumed he meant in the Adamson line, but I have not found anything there. Maybe her meant the Ferrel line!!Sue F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15784595421535239536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861108893941915476.post-83541667040579254852015-01-16T19:18:16.089-08:002015-01-16T19:18:16.089-08:00Temperance Burk listed in the census reading is a ...Temperance Burk listed in the census reading is a daughter of Elijah and Nancy Kennison Cochran.Yes, Sue, Temperance Cochran Burk is my g-g-g-grandmother. I've been searching for our Cherokee roots. Have you found any Native Americans in your family tree? I thought I'd find it with the Kentucky side of my family. I live in Texas, born in Louisiana.
