Note: It appears from the 1900 census that Chester's full name may be William Chester Henry.[8]

  • Chester's middle initial may be "A".[9]
  • The book "Trail of Tears" tells how some of the Cherokee were driven out of Tenn. From what I have found there are 7 clans of Cherokee and I am not sure yet which clan would refer to our relatives.[10]
  • The Cherokee family would have moved [...] to Oklahoma, courtesy the US government[11]
