I have, through family lore, Cherokee Indian blood although I haven't been able to
prove it and it would probably be through North Carolina. I have heard that a couple of
ancestors were living on Indian Reservation Country. I just need to nail it down as to
who.Our Carden line comes from William and Elizabeth Carden, North Carolina.

Subject: [CARDEN] Monroe County Tn. Reservation land
i am posting part of an message that my cousin Barbara Mitchell sent to me, it was from
Joyce Gaston Reece, about the Adams from Monroe County.........
please notice the name AUSTIN RYDER , down close to the bottom of the paragraph..
Austin Ryder's wife was Sarah A. Carden, daughter of Larkin F. Carden, who was a
brother to my 3rd g-grandfather, Reuben Carden.........
does any one know if there was any Indian blood from Sarah's mother, Nancy Henderson
?
if not, then this may be the clue that my family has been looking for , so long as to the
Indian blood in our family, although we have through family lore been told that the blood
came through Reuben's wife Rachel .....
if Sarah did have Indian blood and not through her mother........then it had to come
through the Carden line...maybe in more than one child .
....................................................
please read below
The Reservations were allotted to the Cherokee citizens according
to the 1817 & 1819 Treatys. Many of them were clustered in the
Belltown area of Monroe Co. These Cherokee were encouraged to become
farmers and assimilate into the surrounding society. In doing so
many/most of them took English names, if they intended to stay on the
land. Some immediately sold the land. IE, Cabbin Smith sold his to
Gideon Morgan, Jr. Some of them were white men who got the Reservations
because their wife was an Indian....usually a mixed blood. This was
the case with Joseph Phillips,
Austin Ryder and others. So it isn't at all difficult to imagine a man
taking a reservation using his Cherokee name then changing it to an
English one....something like James Adams???
