Greetings:

I Need help.

I am trying to trace my great grandmother Susan Lewis b: & her parents/siblings.

I believe the information of Susan's father's name might be wrong. It showed as
Ahab Lewis on Susan's death certificate. also nobody ever heard of Salisky,
Oklahoma. I believe she was born & raised in an area close the Benton Co.,
Arkansas area. She also was supposed to be a 1/2 blood Cherokee indian, her
mother (no known name) a full blood Cherokee. (not documented) she had all the
indian characteristics, high cheek bones, hair & coloring.

Any information or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GARRETT:

Only census I find of Benjamin & Susan Garrett in Arkansas

is the 1920 - Gentry, Ark. No. 326 pg. 13B.

Benjamin Garrett 48 Farmer Ga. NC.

Susan 44 Tx. Tx.

Ida 19

Ella 13

Irene 11

James 7

Opal 5

All children born in Arkansas

It also list Benjamin as born in Either Georgia or North Carolina.

I find this interesting.

Benjamin should have known where he was born.

Susan should have known where she was born.
