Trois, do you know what those classifications are supposed to mean, like “1 s mixed”? Mixed with what? Who did this list, the person listed at the bottom?

Sorry Linda, I really don’t know the meanings. Just came across the info. Here’s some more on the GOINGS in Missouri:
Slave Narratives
(Rachel Goings, Cape Girardeau, MO and James Goings) http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=mesn&fileName=100/mesn100.db&recNum=2
For some reason, I’m on a roll. It’s getting late here now and I need to go to bed but can’t quite pull away. I found an interview just handed to me from my gggrandmother, Mandy Lee, in Arkansas. Amazing!
Did I give the proper reference to the Benge research?
Found this by accident as if she clicked the mouse herself!
Mandy Lee, 85, Cherokee, Coal Hill, AR
“Yes’m I was a slave. I boan here. I heard the bugles blowing, the fife beat, the drums beat, and the cannons roar. We started to Texas but never got across the river. I don’t know what town it was but it was just across the river from Texas. My white folks was good to me [ref. to Cader Lee family from North Carolina, 1840]. I steid with them till they died. Missy died first, then master died. I never was away from them. They was both good. My mammy was sold but I never was. They said they was surrendered when we come back from Texas. I heard the drums beat at Ft. Smith when we come back but I don’t know what they was doing. I worked in the house with the children and in the field too. I help herd the horses. I would card and spin and eat peaches. No, that wasn’t all I had to eat. I didn’t have enough meat but I had plenty of milk and potatoes. I was born right here in Coal Hill. I ain’t never lived anywhere else except when we went South during the war.
“Law woman I can’t tell you what I think of the present generation. They are good in their way but they don’t do like we did. I never did go naked. I don’t see how they stand it.
“I could sing when I was young. We sang everything, the good and bad.”
____________________________________________
She was the mother of my maternal ggrandfather who was reportedly Cherokee from North Carolina. There is another Texas connection here and I think that many enslaved Black Indians/fullbloods or free men of color tried to go to Texas to escape the war. Funny thing is that most that went left again in pursuit of better times.
Question: Does the Qualla Boundary in North Carolina have anything to do with the Saponi or Meherrin? The counties are Cherokee, Graham, Jackson, Macon and Swain. Specific communities: Yellowhill, Birdtown, Paintown, Snowbird, Big Cove and Wolftown. I am trying to figure out how my gggrandfather’s first name is Qually (Qualla) and what is it’s significance in Saponi or Cherokee. He definitely identified himself as Blackfoot.
What a find. You must be tickled to death. I know how these things just seem to fly at us. Í’ve never heard anything about the Saponi or Meherrin in connection with the Qualla Boundary. I know there are a lot of identifications of Cherokee/Blackfoot but I haven’t found out anything specific. My guess would be they were Saponi people who sought refuge with the Cherokee. Have you found anything explaining how Cherokee came to be enslaved? Your gggrandmother sounds like she was fully acculturated as a slave. It’s very intriguing. It’s like her voice in that piece raises more questions than it answers. . .
I am very thrilled. I hadn’t realized just how many slave narratives there were. Now I’m looking for the others!
For this side of the family, I am not sure if she were fullblood but she was definitely Cherokee. The Cader Lee family orig. from VA and N.C. took their slaves with them in 1840. I found good info on them from the Hist. Soc. of Coal Hill, AR. They were a very prominent family back east and in AR. From what one poster described, they had no Indian blood yet the local history there states they had many Indian friends. That area of AR had a lot of Cherokees. They went through AL and MS before AR. Sounds an awful lot like they were on the Trail of Tears. Perhaps this side of the family was White Cherokee and the other English.
About Qualla or Qually Boundary, the origin of the name is Norwegian and had something to do with seafarers. Seems to be a common Norwegian Amer./Canad. surname. I was thinking that my gggrandfather was either named Qually to remember where they came from or something to that effect…there could be an ancient Celtic connection as well. It would be very interesting to come across something that documents the Cherokee taking in the Blackfoot. I have seen Delaware inducted into the Cherokee in Oklahoma Dawes. I think I will check the Baker Roll again to find the surname.
