Message Board Post:
Hi! I haven't been on here for years, but I was alerted by email of your reply. Martha
Ann Shuck's son Poleman Wesley Cage is my GG Grandfather. He traveled from Dent County
Missouri to Alberta Canada to farm (most of us still live here in Alberta).
We also have heard the same stories about Martha being Cherokee! There has to be something
to this story if all branches of the family in the US and Canada have the SAME story.
Unfortunatly we don't know anything besides just that. There are tales of her (and
siblings) being left on the Trail Of Tears and adopted by a white family, but until I see
some proof of this, I can't believe it without a doubt. I think it's so neat that
we all have the same mystery in our branches of the family tree...there just HAS to be
some way to find some concrete evidence. Do you have any suggestions? I will be as helpful
as I can if you need me to do anything! Since I was a little girl I was always so
intrigued by the 'Indian Lady' in Grandma's photo album. I'd like to
exchange email addresses, but I'm not sure how to do so without printing it on here
for everyone to see :)
