  1. My Great Grandmother (several generations removed) was Cherokee. She was born in 1743, possibly in Alabama. She married my Great (several generations removed) in 1778 and they had 2 sons. She died 1789 in Illinois.
    Her name was Wakema Juanita George. His name was William Henri DeShazer. I want more info about Wakema. I am proud to have 1/64th Cherokee blood and want so much more knowledge about that part of my ancestry. When I first discovered her, she was listed as “a Cherokee women”! I was incensed that they did not give her a name. It took me years to finally find it and now I want more. Sharon Richards-Chriest
