There are 2 Schrimsher lines in the Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma.One is the Martin Schrimsher who married into the Rogers line. The other line is the Craig County Schrimshers- Isaac, son of John an Old Settler, and Isaac's siblings. Some were in Arkansas possibly because they had land there. John Schrimsher's wife was not Polly or Mary Terrapin. Mary was possibly Mary Hughes. It is documented in the Arkansas gazette that she fell off the steamboat Reindeer on her way to the I.T. There is a large Schrimsher clan in Alabama and there are still Schrimshers in the Sweetwater area of Tennessee.
