ROWLAND (Birth: 7 Aug 1854 in TN) and Eliza Jane NOLEN (Birth: 18Feb 1856 in TN). My mother told me that Frank(lin)'s father wasmarried to a Cherokee by the name of "Martha." I am hitting thebrick wall as this family is so difficult to find as I do not haveany evidence to support those families' existence. Hope to getsome help from you. Thank you.
