I am forwarding this message from another list - perhaps someone can
help her find her Anna.

Still looking for any info on the Watkins name.

This person that is my great great grandmother was named Annie or Anna
Watkins (sometimes spelled Wadkins) and one of her close female
relatives married a Cherokee fellow. This couple had children. Anna
herself was born in North Carolina moved to South Carolina and then
ended up in Blue Ridge Georgia area. Her first husbands last name was
Sisson...but her second husband (my great great grandfather) was a
Bradford and he was 15 years or so her junior. They had children and
then Annie died in Oklahoma as the family were moving westward. The
story of the Cherokee person marrying into the family held to this day.

Anyone know of any woman who was a Watkins...who married a Cherokee
gentleman and then had children and were living near Georgia?

I know this is quite the long shot...but I wish to know my Cherokee
side.

thanks

Brenda Kent (great great granddaughter of Annie Watkins Bradford).
