In my attempts to verify family lore about Baxley Indian heritage in my wife's South Carolina family, I've run across a man named Coy Lee Baxley who died in Florida in 1987. According to his granddaughter, he was in large part Cherokee Indian. Other researchers have traced his ancestry back to John Barnabas Baxley who was born in SC in 1774, but with no mention of the Cherokee heritage. Does anyone have any information on Indian heritage in this Baxley line or any other Baxley line with SC connections?
