George Guess

Not the same as Sequoyah 'George Guess' Gist

1851 Drennen roll of the Cherokee Indians

Comments

The Nancy Blackbird on the Pioneer Papers interview is the woman on the Dawes, mother of William Blackbird, Grandmother of Ava Vann. On her Eastern App she said that her father died in 1877 but his half-sister Lydia said he died in 1861. The mother of Lydia and George was a woman named "Uk-tee-yah" according to the Drennan Roll but "Go-da-gar-we" according to Nancy Blackbird. Her father IS listed on the Drennan Roll as "George Guess" but I don't think there is any connection to Sequoyah 'George Guess' Gist.
