Enoch was my gr,gr grandfather. He and Abigail are buried in Chaney's Chapel cemetary in Dutton Ala. I put flowers on their graves every year. I have been told that his mother was Cherokee and he and his brother hid her so she would not have to go on the Trail of Tears. He was a scout and an enterperer on the Trail of Tears and had a Cherokee wife and baby. His wife died and he came back to Ala and met Abigail Sloan and they were married. and had my great grandmother, Louisa . I do not know what happened to the Cherokee baby. I remember my mother talking about an Indian aunt that had black hair that touched the floor when she sat in a chair. I never thought to ask questions about her.Display message for printing | Print Entire Thread
