Which of Elizabeth Chism and John Thomas Gray's children do you descend from? I am curious because I descend from Harwell B. Walker who was married to their daughter Elizabeth Gray. Also, Hartwell B. Walker's mother was Ellender Chism who Hartwell B. Walker and his daughter Harriet Walker (daughter of Hartwell B. Walker and Elizabeth Gray)mentioned when they applied on the Dawes Commission Roll. They claimed Cherokee blood only thru Hartwell B. Walker's mother Ellender Chism (Nellie Chism) who they claimed was a daughter of a father Chism and a Cherokee mother Dark. Harriet Walker who was daughter of Elizabeth Gray-who was daughter of Elizabeth Chism and John Thomas Gray did not claim her Cherokee blood thru her mother's line. I just thought that was curious. You can look it up in the Dawes Commission Applications. They were rejected for not having enough information but several members of their family applied. Take care now and Happy Hunting.
