Everett,
I did look on the Cherokee Dolls Roll and no entries for Asher came up.However, I have noticed that there could be some confusion because there were several Sarah Asher's.Much like, John, David, William and James were so common names amongst many families who were born in the same time span...ugh!That may not mean much, but it could also mean she was not born an Asher, but rather adopted the last name via marriage or some other reasoning...much like the slaves that adopted their owner's surname.My father did speak of a time when Indians were looked at in the same light as the negro slaves.I have another ancestor that is the same situation.I was told she was Indian, however, I haven't had much luck with that as of yet.I can only hope that one day it will be translated and posted online for all those interested in piecing together their family trees.
