About Sophia Pierce

Debunking the Debunking Attempt at https://www.allthingscherokee.com/queries/pierce-family-ties-chief-...: Count 1. Father birth date and daughter's birth date supposed problem is a non issue, the dates being flexible. Count 2. A non -traditional community is not applied to her father, accepted in Starr's book; therefore, count 2 is not a problem. Count 3. Hunter and not Bowles is given as her name. That is what happens with Non Parental Events, generally; therefore, this leaves us with one option: test results on the vetted offspring of Bowles in the TX Band of Cherokee. (Spring 2019, put here) as compared with the claimants of Sophia Hunter (Spring, 2019 put here).
