I am looking for information on Elizabeth "Betsey" Cartledge who married a
Robinson. There daughter Mary or "Polly" was born abt 1813 in South Carolina
and was married to William Hearon.
Today, I found some documents where quite a few of my Hearon ancestors submitted
applications in 1902 for the identification as Mississippi Choctaws. They stated that
their Choctaw blood is traced back to Betsey. John Franklin stated that her maiden name
was Cartledge and her married name was Robinson. Emily Hearon Hillhouse stated that Sam
and Eli Cartledge could vouch for the fact that Betsey was Choctaw. Some stated she was
full blooded, others said she was 1/2.
Any info will be greatly appreciated!
