another small item to this discussion. My wife has obvious signs of cherokee in her, and there was a number or generations ago certainly a cherokee in the wood pile. Her family moved from arkansas to texas in the 1820's or 1830's without me asking her specifically. I know they were there in time for the alamo, as a relative died there, one of mine too for that matter.
Where the cherokee came into the picture i don't know, but i am going to have to tell her about the arkansas connection.
