Alvah SEVIER md. Robert McCANDLESS
Ruth McCANDLESS was born in 1801 in TN.An old note found in some family papers gave her parents as Robert McCandless and Alvah/Alvuh SEVIER.
Ruth McCandless married Joel WHEELER in 1822, they lived in what became Marion Co. TN until 1838 when they removed to GA.The area of TN where they lived was Cherokee Land until after 1817.
I think that Robert may have been half Cherokee/Delaware and I need to find something about his wife and who her parents were.
