You are probably right about Blue Springs being in Union Co,I'd taken that it was in Pontotoc from someone else but notice that in my Family Origins Place Finder it is in Union..but this same Cobb family moved between those two counties or the boundry changed over time...
As for Hilary..and that is how it was spelling in his WWI draft registration card in Murray, OK.I didn't look for him on the Dawes Rolls ... have you found him there?
I've found a few people on that roll that I know who they belong to.I'm sure that the Indian blood would have come from a female and not from the Cobb side. DNA tests show that this Cobb line connects to the Joseph of Isle of Wight Co, VA.In the south it was not uncommon for whites to marry Indians.One male in my line had children with 2 Cherokees who were sisters and later went off to OK....they were not part of the trail of tears but did go there later.
