Thomas McDonald Cherokee Indian Scout
Thomas McDonald was born around 1830 place unknown. Family legend states that he was an Indian Scout for the Cavary. He was a Cherokee, married unknown. They had a daughter born Dec. 24, 1854 named Mary Effie Elizabeth "Mollie" McDonald. Mollie married Ira Oliver Cagle on Dec. 19, 1875 in Woodruff County, Arkansas. Mollie and Ira lived in the Poinsett County Area. Thomas her father died when Mollie was very young, Mollie's mother died when Mollie was young as well. Mollie was cared for by a Dr. Jelks in Jelks, Arkansas now Patterson, Arkansas. I would appreciate hearing from anyone connected to this family. Thanks Michael
