Subject: Re: Clevelands and Native American Author: Carolyn Ellertson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sat, May 24 2003, 2:37:27 In reply to: Farrah Helms 's message, "Re: Coat of arms" on Fri, Feb 08 2002, 16:13:44 It depends on your line. There are many good Native American sites now, and most of the governments rolls are to be found on line somewhere, even without going to the government archives. I am a Cleveland, but also a registered Cherokee through John Clark Cleveland's wife Susan Louella Foreman. Susan was the granddaughter of John Anthony Foreman, a Tory soldier who came here to fight for the British, and, tired of the bloodshed and war, went among the Cherokees as a trader, and had two successive full blooded Cherokee wives (six children by each, one being Rev Stephan Foreman, who translated the Bible into Cherokee with Worcester.) I don't know of too many other examples of the Cleveland/Native American, but that could mean that we just haven't seen it. It could have been any of the tribes of the time, but most likely one of the five civilized tribes. The Cherokees were the most visible on the subject, because they were some of the first to allow intermarriage with the whites. They and the other "five civilized tribes" got a lot of publicity because of the forced removal. If you think there is Native American lineage, try some of the excellent GenWeb Sites. Just key in the abbreviation of the state (such as GAGenWeb.com), and change the desirable state as you need to. There is a great deal of pertinent knowledge in the historical aspect of their states respectively. Try it, you will be amazed. VA, PA, and TN are some of the best. For Cherokee info, try NC also, and go to Cherokee County. For towns try Valley Town and/or Valley River for a good read on the Eastern Cherokee and pertinents. Also just key in the desired tribal name as a search term and see what pops up. Good hunting. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I think my great-great-great grandmother may have been Cherokee. She was the mother of Catherine `holloway Cleveland. Catherine's husband was William ``Henry Cleveland. William was b. 1833 in Kentucky. His father may have been william `Neal Cleveland, is there anyone out there with any info? I will appreciate any thing. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
