Looking for information and history on Lavina Emeline GUNTER born in Cherokee Nation East, Tennessee about 1831. Father's name was William Mother's name was Emmaline PHELPS. She had three siblings Thomas GUNTER, Allen T. GUNTER, William Benton GUNTER, and Columbus GUNTER. There is lots of speculation and false information about this family out there in cyber world. This I know for sure, Lavina or (Levina) married Annuel Ussery Nov 7, 1859. Then Godfrey Marlin TAYLOR "Fret" Nov. 30 1865 my gr gr grandfather.
They had three children; Rose Anne TAYLOR my Gr grandmother Who married Jeremiah WILLIAMS, Drury C. TAYLOR, and Elnora TAYLOR. Lavina is belived to be full blood Cherokee came to Boonesville MO from Gunter's Landing Alabama about 1834.

Any help woul be appreciated, will share what I have

Kevin,

I believe the person you need to talk to is Sherri Storey in Missouri. I tried to email her this morning but there is a problem with her email address now. I have other friends that know her phone number and if you keep in touch with me I will give her your address when I catch up to her. She has recently found some exciting information about Lavina.

BTW Annuel & Lavina were my gr gr gr grandparents.
