Message Board Post:
My grandfather's name was Howard Cargile. My grandmother met him on a Cherokee
reservation in Oklahoma, probably in a period from 1913 to 1920. My father always said
the family had come from Tennessee originally, but that was all he knew. I would
appreciate help in figuring out how to back track to Tennessee. I doubt that my
grandfather was in the generation that moved from Tennessee; that probably happened one or
two generations before through the male line, since the Cargile name survived. My father
said my grandfather was 1/4 or 1/2 Cherokee. Look forward to hearing from anyone.
