Surprise!! Results Are In!!

Well, the DNA results came back.  According to my current DNA profile, compared to all the millions already on file - I have 0% Native American Blood!  Yep, guess I am just a wannabe after-all.



So, there you have it... right? 

I wish it were that simple.  Just because I show no Native American blood, still does not mean my family line, is NOT Native American.  We only get so much DNA passed on through generations, and if there are no matches on file to compare with, and etc. etc. etc. 

What I do show as my genetic regions:

But, for me, for now... I'm going to be looking for history under the assumption that we are not Cherokee by blood.  I understand where my family was born and raised.  What they have always been told.  What they believe.  And, if it had been me, born and raised in Cherokee Territory, had generations of family there, I too would believe it to be fact.  However, in today's world, we don't have to accept tradition as fact.  We can find answers.  And, we will!

So....  there you have it.  Searching the rolls will be on hold as I look in new directions.

(But don't worry, I still intend to find 'Aunt Nancy' and the cousin connection to Maxwell Chambers.)

No news is good news?

Ok. It's been a little while and many hours of searching since my last post here. Still no additional or new information.

So... I started working backwards again with my grandparents, Robert E. Anderson and Pearl E. Anderson (have also seen this as Pearle Anderson) who moved to Illinois from Dewey, Oklahoma.

Pearl E. Coke Anderson is the daughter of Jake Coke (NOT the Jake Coke of Arkansas) and Minnie Mattingly.

Robert E. Anderson is the son of Clinton Edward Anderson and Sarah Lucas.

The following is all data from my family tree Jesse's family... hopefully someone will find something and make a connection. : )

Who is Jesse Anderson's Father?

Jesse Anderson 1814-1845


Jesse was born in South Carolina and later lived in Sequatchie, Tennessee. Around 1832 he relocated to to Pulaski, Missouri. There he married Sarah Hale around 1835. (also called Sally Hale) He passed away in Vernon County in 1845, and his widow was remarried to William Wiseman. The family later moved to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma.

His son Robert M. Anderson applied to the Dawes commission for himself and other family members, but even after several appeals, he was ultimately denied. (From what I can tell, based on not being able to prove his ancestors were on the previous rolls.)

The papers and testimony on file have a few clues on Jesse and their family ~
Robert M. claimed his Cherokee blood through two previous family members actually on rolls (at least that he mentioned). One (on the Anderson side) was his father's aunt Nancy Anderson on the rolls of 1835 and 1848. On his mother's side, through Maxwell Chambers as a first cousin to his grandfather, Luke Hale, on the rolls of 1835 and 1848 living near Candy's Creek.
The commission did state that the family was Cherokee, and that these relatives were in fact on the rolls and known to be Cherokee.

I have searched for Nancy Anderson, and there are a few! But, another testimony given states that he "knew Nancy and Alex" from Sequatchie, Tennessee. So, is Alex the husband of Nancy? The father? The brother?

It is possible that Alex is Jesse's father, and Nancy his sister, but, I have found nothing on this.

One possibly is in the line of John Anderson. There is a son Alexander Anderson born 1764, who married a Nancy Wilcox. This Alexander also had a brother William who had a son Alexander. But, again, was Anderson Nancy's married or maiden name? I would "think" it was her maiden name - but not really sure.

The fact that Robert says his aunt Nancy instead of his grandfather may simply be because she was on the earlier rolls and he was not.

I also have a distant cousin looking into the possibility of Jesse's father being Henry Anderson, who had a father Jesse. - There's some possibility there as well.

So, I am wondering does anyone out there know who Jesse's father is? Any hints to our Nancy and Alex Anderson? Or their information off the rolls?

Children of JESSE ANDERSON and SARAH HALE are:

i. ELIZA ANDERSON, b. 1832, Missouri; m. SMITH.

This is a complete guess! Jesse and Sarah did have a daughter listed on an early census. Later, there was an Eliza Smith in the household in Missouri. ???? However, there is not any mention of her in the Dawes application.
