I’m trying to find out more information on my great-great-great-great grandmother Darcus Pope-Richardson. She married my gggggrandfather Hardy Richardson around 1810. Hardy was the son of Benjamin Richardson (of Saponi, Tutelo blood) and Mary Bass-Richardson (of Nansemond blood). Darcus was born around 1794. It was testified by William Stokes of Halifax County, NC that Darcus was “Full Blood Cherokee”, and Hardy was of “Indian blood” in 1896 for the filing of their grandchildren’s petition to the Dawes Commission. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Where was Darcus living? Was it someplace you’d expect to find Cherokee?

In the early 1800’s she lived in Halifax County, Brinkleyville Township. I don’t know where her people are from.
