Hello everyone,
I was reading through the Saponi website when I came upon something that hit close to home.
My father, who is now passed, always claimed that we had Cherokee blood. Eventually I researched to the point where I found the transcript of my family’s denial of claims for Cherokee benefits. “Definitely of native extraction, but not Cherokee.”
After reading the Saponi “Macon County” section I remembered that my gr-gr-grandmother was a Wilson, from Macon County, Sugar Fork to be exact. She was married to a James Angel. On the 1880 census the family (her descendants) was listed as Black, but not on earlier census’.
Wow, I would really appreciate any help concerning known research of the Saponis of Sugar Fork in Macon County, NC.
Sincerely,
Morris Angel
