Excellent story and so interesting.
Thanks for sharing even if I am a little late finding it.
What does the man mean when he says,"my parents were John Taylor and Jane Taylor who came from Georgia about 1838 and were the servants of Tom Taylor, a prominent Cherokee, at that time."
I did understand that Tom Taylor was a distant relative of yours.
Is this man what we would have called Black nowadays? Or was he what have seen called a tri-racial. He says he is not Cherokee unless I am mistaken as he says he is not permitted to attend the school. It really does not matter but I was wondering since his history is recorded with the Cherokees.
Thanks-
Linda
