Cherokee Biographies Sevier to Wyley
It is a lesser known fact
that there was considerably more
intermarriage between Cherokees and Whites
than any other tribe, so they have a
genealogical significance far out of
proportion to their historical numbers.
There is also a great deal of genealogical
data on the Cherokees, mostly in the form of
census records and enrollment records. All
of which is to point out the abundance of
sources available to Emmet Starr when he
came to pen his classic History of the
Cherokee Indians and Their Legends and
Folklore.
Not to diminish Mr. Starr's
contribution in writing about the early
Cherokees, their constitution, treaties with
the federal government, land transactions,
school system, migration and resettlement,
committees, councils, and officials,
religion, language, and culture, and a host
of other topics upon which he writes
eloquently, but his stated purpose in
writing the History was "to make it as near
a personal history and biography of as many
Cherokees as possible." And in fact more
than half the book is devoted to genealogies
and biographies, of which there are several
hundred. The biographies in particular, each
averaging a paragraph or more, are
noteworthy for their focus on the
genealogical events of birth, marriage, and
death over a period of several generations,
naming thousands of related individuals in a
classic roll-call of family members.
The references appearing in
parenthesis at the beginning of each
paragraph following the name refers to the
connection among the foregoing old families.
