Submitted on 7May2009 by RosieBarkman@aol.com

I'm trying to locate family of Susan C Woods who was a Cherokee born in Dardenelle, Ark 22 Jun 1855. She move to Texas and married Alexander Barnard Perkins 30 Aug 1873 in Gatesville, TX. She had 11 children and passed away in 1899 in Texas. My grandmother was born in 1898. I know several of the Perkins family moved to Oklahoma. I hope you can help me trace her family. My grandmother told us that Susan's parents were killed and she was raised by a white family.
