I would like to post this since there is alot of Sizemore descendants on this forum and i doubt if they were cherokee.
This document comes from my mother cherokee files they were
her people i was wondering if anybody knows who this William Sizemore was. I also have records of a Richard Blevins and Squire Blevins who married into this cherokee
line they were in the Wayne co Ky area but came down into
the cherokee nation and Richard married my 5th grandfather's sister that is how the Blevins got on the rolls.
