Thomas Joseph Childs + Senoy Dean

I am stuck at this couple. Can anyone help with their parents or origins? Help??

Thomas Childs:
b. 15 Dec 1812 GA
d 3 Oct 1871 Hickory Ridge Twp, Monroe, AR
buried Primitive Bapt. Ch., Old Field Cem., Walthall, Webster Co., MS

Censuses show him & family in Jackson, GA 1830; DeKalb, GA, 1840; Fayette Co., AL 1850; Choctaw, MS 1860; Hickory Ridge Twp, Monroe Co., AR, 1870.

The dates of birth and death came from a descendant who did not list her sources and who is now dead.
*****************
Senoy Childs:
b22 Dec 1817 (maybe NC?)
d 18 Jul 1864 (location?)
Family stories say Senoy was full blood Cherokee, and that she and Thomas met in Fayette Co., AL.
There is a possible support for the Cherokee story in the NC state archives: Haywood County: Indians fibredex box. CR 049.928.4 folder "A True and acerate Numeration of the Indens that is living on the Purches" 20 Nov 1820: "Also the number of reservations that has been surved - - - I was at a loss to destinguish the age and Sects and have added each familey together." One family is named "Cinoa"; 2 members in family; 1 reservation.
Senoy and Thomas had 10 children, many of whom survived to adulthood.
