Based on the 1910 census, Civil District 2, James, Tennessee, Ruth Ann CHEEK is listed as 66 yrs. old b/c 1844 Pennsylvania.

My Cherokee Ancestor married John SITTON or SUTTON abt 1780 , I know her as Betsey SUTTON, b. 1762 Ootelwah Creek. Betsey and John had four sons, John, Henry, Elijah and Robert. Another researcher sent me the names TE SKE and TE LAS SHA SKI that might be Betsey's family name and that she died in Canada in 1837. If someone has information concerning Betsey's family I would deeply appreciate it.

My family originated out of Harrison and Snow Hill. My Great Grandfather John Samuel RAYL married Mary Kizzie SCOGGINS. His father George W RAYL, and his father Franklin F P RAYL. I only have details on John and nothing after him. My grandparents Edgar D DAVIS married Ella Mae RAYL. Edgar's mother in 1900 is listed divorced. I have no further information to link me to husband except 2nd husband Jerry Myer SIMS. Jerry M SIMS married 2 Sarah DAVIS' making it very hard to figure out who is who! First Sarah DAVIS DENNINGTON (m2) was older than Jerry SIMS but for some reason they had Adie T DAVIS visiting and called her neice--who is the daughter of the 2nd wife Sarah Isabell DAVIS!! The 2nd wife (not wife in 1900) is listed with 5 of the 6 children she had in 1900 separately.
Can anyone help with this?
