My ancesters Lewis MAGEE / MCGEE born 1801 in GA/his son William born 1828
in Tenn. are shown to be from Tenn. on the 1850 Missouri Census. My grandmother
told me that they were both married to full blooded Cherokee Indians. Lewis to "Rody"
and William to "Jamie" as these marriages probably occured prior to
any USA record keeping, I was wondering if possibly the Cherokee Nation/people
may have made some records that might pertain to their wifes? What records
exist, if any and how may I access them? Where can I find information regarding
Mcgeetown, TN?

age 19. Anyone who can "connect" that Isaac with a parent will be
appreciated. Descendants think he was one of the twins left orphans be a tornado
either in Polk or Monroe or some nearby county in about 1832-35. Anyone know
about a tornado that killed a whole family other than twins Joseph and Isaac any
time during that time frame. Isaac supposedly was two years old when tornado
killed family, so if his census birthdate is correct he was b. 1831 thus the
1833 approximate tornado year. Thanks. Cynthia Snider
