Hi Bellinda!
Welcome to our CHUNN mail list! My name is Nancy, and I am trying to
make Native American connections to the CHUNN surname as well. I have no
idea if we are connected in any way, because I can find no positive proof of
my Gr-gr-gr-Grandmothers ancestors, though they are suppose to have been
Native American ... probably Cherokee.
I am in the process of compiling as many CHUNN names as I can find
into a Gedcom family tree, and I would like to know if you have any other
information of your Berry CHUNN who married Margaret SLAUGHTER? Especially
any information that you might have on his family ... siblings, parents,
etc. >>
Hi, Nancy,
Thanks for the welcome. I will look and see if I have more information on
the Berry CHUNN family. I don't think I do but perhaps. And I'll get back
with the list.

For that matter, I would be interested in any CHUNN information that
you have at all. Maybe if I get enough information on the CHUNN ancestors,
I'll someday be able to make a connection for her.
You can send anything that you have to my private email if you'd
prefer, or to the list for all to share. That is, of course, if you wouldn't
mind sharing your CHUNN info with us?
I hope to hear from you soon, Bellinda! And thank you for any help
you can offer.
Hugs to all the 'kuzzins',
Nancy Sue

Hello,
Re: Cherokee - Scottish ancestry in 1780's Richmond Co., NC
I am looking for information regarding my 3rd great grandmother, Mary
McDONALD, who, as with other McDONALD's, could also be known as McDANIEL.
My question of the moment to any of you researching this timeframe of 1780's
in Richmond County, North Carolina is regarding the possibility of Mary
McDONALD's family which, obviously, has Scottish ancestry.........perhaps
being one of the many Scottish families that married into Cherokee families.
Just recently, it has come to my attention that there were many Cherokee and
Scottish families especially out of North Carolina in the 1700's. When I
became aware of this situation as it applies to other family lines of mine, I
began to wonder whether or not this might be the source of Native American
Indian lineage that my grandfather, Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, born: 14 Feb
1869 near Liddieville, Franklin County, MS, spoke to my mother about before
his death in 1938. He mentioned, specifically, to her ancestry of his that
was Native American Indian and French.
So far, through researching the SLAUGHTER lineage there has not surfaced any
Indian nor French heritage at this point. His mother was Claranda "Clara"
WILLIAMS in Catahoula and Franklin Parish, LA and I am still researching her
family with her father, William WILLIAMS, born in abt. 1790 in Maryland, and
the mother of my great grandfather, Hudson H. SLAUGHTER, born: 13 Mar 1844
in Greene Co./Pickens Co., AL, who was Susan CROUCH, born: abt. 1815 in NC,
(daughter of Samuel CROUCH, born: abt. 1785 in NC,) who married John M.
SLAUGHTER, born: abt. 1795 in NC, who was the son of Mary McDONALD and Owen
SLAUGHTER, Jr., (son of Owen SLAUGHTER, Sr. and Mary Elizabeth BOLTON.)
Up until recently, I hadn't specifically thought that Mary McDONALD might be
the source for the Native American ancestry as I tended to think of the
French and the Indian ancestry being in the same family branch but, upon
hearing of the several family groups of Scottish - Cherokee families that I
possibly connect to through other lines it brightened my hopes that, perhaps,
I might find the information that I am searching for within Scottish -
Cherokee McDONALD families in the late 1700's in Richmond County, North
Carolina.
While Mary McDONALD is my maternal 3rd great grandmother the timeframe would
have 'normally' allowed her to be my 4th or 5th great grandmother but her son
and great grandson both married women that were approximately 20 years
younger than themselves as 2nd and 3rd marriages. Mary McDONALD/McDANIEL
married Owen SLAUGHTER, Jr. in 1782 in Richmond Co., NC. A brief family tree
with their children is listed below.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone who might have a clue as to the
possibilities of my speculation regarding this Scottish - Cherokee connection.
In advance, I thank you.
