I would like to clarify some of the information that you gave in this posting.Thurmonds mother was Gussie (Keefer) Absten.She was NOT full blooded Cherokee.She lived to be 96 years old and is buried in the Smith Church Cemetary in Leon, WV.Her husband was Wilbert Absten (Bill).They were my Great grand parents.
Grandma Gussie's Father was Ephriam Keefer and her mother's name was Margaret ?Ephriam's father's name was Daniel Keefer and his mother's name was Ruanna King.I believe that somewhere in this mix there is some Cherokee Heritage.Perhaps it comes in with the King name.
I hope this helps to clear up the information.
