Hi
I am looking for a George and Emily Anderson form Sneedville and or Hancock County and or Hawkins County. Emily had dark skin and some of the family called her‘the squaw.'
I think Emily's name my have been Smith or Smyth but this is unclear! I think Emily was of african descent or a Native American, or a malungen or a women of mixed heritage.

I do not know where or when George marred Emily, but they left Handcock/Hawkins County before 1883. The family story is that they fled Hancock/Hawkins County as Gorge killed a man defending Emily. By 1883 they had 10 children and were living in Bonham, Texas, where Sarah Anderson Jameson my grate grandmother was born. They later moved to Marshfield Missouri.

Any info on Gorge or Emily Anderson and or murders that took place in Hancock county, Hawkins County and or Sneedvill following the Civil War would be appreciated.
