Jan, You may know all this but maybe it will help others.
While searching for Elijah Butler in N. Ga. I found him on
the NA rolls and M. to Dorcus Landrum whose Father was James
Landrum and Mother was Rebecca ?. I guess it was Rebecca
Duncan.Dorcus was said to be on list for all Cherokee payments ( Actualy it was an application by Susan (Annie)
Butler Fox). Her Grandparents were James and Rebecca and
her parents were Dorcus and Elijah Butler-Proctor. Elijahs
bro. and sisters had NA names but Landrums had English names
Charlie,James,Aaron,Jemina Landrum McLaughlin,Benjamin,
John,Hiram,David, Dorcus who M. Butler-Proctor.Rachel Landum
Buffinton. I have seen some of these names on rolls.Elijah
was on Old Settlers roll.I was told he had son named Jesse
and I can't prove that.Elijah may have been married before.
Any help would be appreciated.
M.J,
