Annie Shorey and John McDonald
I have found information re: one daughter is there a possibility that John and Annie had another daughter named Elizabeth b. c. 1804 TN d. 1881 MS.
I have gone through my grandmother's research and found a letter she had written regarding Jasper Amerson.
William Shorey, a Scotsman, married Ghi-goo-ie a Cherokee maiden of the Bird Clan.They had a daughter Annie who married John McDonald.They had a daughter Elizabeth born in 1804 in TN who stted in the 1880 census that father born in TN and mother born in TN.Elizabeth married Jasper Amerson who was younger than Elizabeth.
Elizabeth McDonald Amerson has been a family mystery with many stories of the Trail of Tears and eloping to marry any of her children due to Indian blood.My grandmother who passed away in 1982 was never able to prove or figure out who Elizabeth was.I have now taken over that task and would appreciate any help.
