Hi Wanda, well lets see.I have a andrew jackson dobbins and lucy elizabeth dobbins
"who is the daughter" of joseph and sally" both buried in ripley ok also
called oak park cemetary I believe. for years family said josephs wife was lucy elizabeth,
but on one of the death records I have lucy is sally johnson. joseph and sally named one
of their daughters lucy and in turn she named her daughter lucy. It makes my head spin. I
cannot find any info on joseph or sally except family said arkansas and tenn. sally is
full cherokee and joseph is half. I cant find any proof that they registered as indians. I
do know that they came across the trail of tears. my grandma was a dobbins her parents
were andrew jackson dobbins and sally carper dobbins. their kids were jessie ethel, sally,
lucy, alta, grover, ruel and john., If I can find out more I will let you know. thanks so
much.
