"She was the daughter of Willis Andrew (sometimes written Andrew Willis) Payne and (according to a 1940 letter from Bailey Wilson Adams to Everett Jesse Harris) a full blood Cherokee woman named Quatie from Painttown (Swain County, North Carolina). She was part of a group of Cherokees referred to as Oconaluftee Cherokee or Citizen Cherokee that gave up citizenship in the Cherokee Nation for North Carolina citizenship. They were the beginnings of what is now referred to as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The letter states she was born near "Hanging Dog Creek". Additional references in the History of Greenwood County, Kansas; Greenwood County Historical Society, Josten's Publications, Wichita, Kansas, 1986 & 1990, Vol 2."
That probably having been done by Adams descendants as quite a number migrated to SW Missouri and SE Kansas, including Greenwood County.
Bailey was her great grandson, my grandmother's (Nora Hattie Adams-Todd) older brother. J.R. Frye of Somerset, Ky. (descendant of Soloman Adams, may have a photo of her. So this makes her my Great x3 Grandmother. :-)
The Payne family is today relatively large within the EBCI, but I have not researched how we are tied to them. My family is not eligible to be a part of the EBCI, as we left at such an early period and none were therefore enrolled on the Baker Roll. I am of Cherokee descent through Nayehi Wolf and her husband Nathan Hicks Sr., as well as being of Choctaw & Chickasaw ancestry.
Just thought I'd throw this tidbit at you.
Thanks
