Father of Jack Willbanks (1920's era).....
I am Sarah Noel born on 02/02/1987 in Huntsville Alabama and I would like more information on the posibility of being however distantly tied to the Cherokee of this area that I live in. My real grandmother was at least half and my mom is at least a quarter and I am at least an eigth Cherokee. My grandfather Jack Willbanks however put the brakes on my finding much of anything else for a while. I am hoping other family members can helpme on this search. I hope you do not think that I am posting this to avoid asking my grandfather more on a possiblity that I am an eigth Native American. It is just another source I might need to find out a little more. My father says he has tried to talk to my grandfather about this and got shot down as apearently did my mother.
Now to my connection to the Willbanks family. My mother, Mary Lorenna Willbanks was born in Huntsville Alabama on 07/16/1952. My grandfather Jack (I don't know his middle name) Willbanks was born somewhere in Georgia and in the 1920's. He served in the US Air Force in WWII over Italy and I think it was also North Africa. My grandfather was one of twelver kids. My grandmother died before I was born so I never got to meet her and get to know her. I am sad to say I don't know any more of my mother's side of the family. I am hoping the rest of the family can help me find out more. Please contact me at my e-mail adress. It is: [email protected] . I thank you all for helping me with your information that you have gathered and I hope that I have helped you at least a little on your search of the family.
