Rachel Thompson was a white woman who first married a Cherokee and second a white man.. She had Cherokee children, but I think it’s misleading to put the seal on her profile, which suggests tat she herself was born Cherokee.

I tend to agree with this statement. Is it already being used for her NA spouse and children?

The notes in her overview say she was a "non-blood" however it looks as if when someone updated the profile, those notes were moved down further where they are not immediately seen.

Maybe we can move those notes back up to the top of the overview.

Notes have been moved back to top of overview and bolded. I guess a curator would have to remove the profile photo.

I will see if I can remove it---I do not see her "white" husband as a spouse on her profile

I removed the Cherokee jpeg.

I started the profile for Gen. Andrew Miller

Did she die as Rachel Miller?

Erica Howton

Not sure.

The Andrew Miller file has 2 Rachel Miller's as wife -- should they be merged???Gen. Andrew Miller

No--two wives named Rachel

Yes, Rachel’s name at her death was Rachel Miller. I’ve seen her gravestone and it says Miller.

Would be nice to share a photo

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7039286 Go ahead and upload. Or I’ll do it tomorrow (tired). I added the citations to the “about” and linked sister Isabella Miller to son in law Judge John C. Miller

Really beautiful Findagrave.
I am looking at her profile again and see this:

In 1845 Benjamin Franklin Thompson, a whiteman and cousin of Henry Butt Thompson relocated to Rusk County, Texas. He had married a Cherokee, Annie Martin, the daughter of Cherokee Chief Justice John Martin and Eleanor McDaniel (the granddaughter of Granny Hopper). He, his sisters family (Rachel Thompson, wife of Black Watt Adair) along with a number of his wife's relatives formed the Mount Tabor Community in northwestern Rusk County.

It takes me back to the Granny Hopper that I have been disconnected from here and that I deleted from my DNA tree at Ancestry.

I am told I DNA match on a chromosome segment identified as Adair. FamilySearch has the mother of my Susannah McDaniel Emerson as Sarah Adair. She is the one who was listed in the Hicks Moytoy lineages that are said to be false. I also have a Miller line that is a dead end. And I continue to get Trader McDanile suggestions through Ancestry's Thrulines. I keep them on the back burner but it will be a wonderful day when I can know my 4th great grandmother's lineage.

Thank you.
