One of their children was my grandfather, Donald HARPER, who spent most of his life in NY and in France. Another family surname is THORNTON.

My mother and father, Charles Morrell were married in Lakeview, Ga and divorced in Wichita Falls, Tx in 1952.

Barbara Jarvis - 07/07/97 I am on a dead-end search for the family of my grandmother, Minnie F. Smith. She was born in Alabama in May 1863. Her father was a full blood Cherokee Indian but her mother was white from GA. This is the story as I have been able to piece it togather. Her father * Smith was a Riverboat owner and Captain. The family lived on the boat so they were never counted in any census. When the boat was sunk by the Yankees in the early days of the Civil War, Capt Smith brought his wife back to his family home in Ala where Minnie was born. After the war they went back to the river and Ark. The first documentation that I can find is Minnie's marriage to James Solonia Mack in 1881 in St Francis Co. Ark. I do not know her fathers first name or her mothers name but I do have a clue in the name of Minnies Children. Her first son is named for her father in Law, her second son is named for his father and her third son is named Teggert or Taggert. I betting that this was her mothers maiden name. She was probably from a county that bordered Ala that was from the old Cherokee lands. Do you have any marriage records of 1850's that would show *Taggert to *Smith? This might give me the breakthrough that I need. Thank you.
