COLES/VA/DC/NC/SC/CHEROKEE
HELLO ..
I'm looking for my mothers father's line. I'm trying to track down the cherokee indians in the family. My great great great grandmother was cherokee indian..but I do not know her name. Her son was named Dan and he had maybe about 4 children with a woman named sallie. They were from the dan river, va area. They (dan & sallie) ran away to the coles plantation where the coles name starts. Dan & sallie's children names were enice (BORN 1902, BUT NO BIRTH CERT), laura, gean (female)(BORN AROUND 1900 BUT NO BIRTH CERT), & either james or carroll coles.. gean (eugenia, jean) possibly married a man by the last name gray. We still have family on the border of NC/VA right by dan river & the applachian mountains i hear.
I took a dna test on ancestry.com and it linked me to some people with the last name chavis. Can any body please help.
