I DO NOT know she was a Cherokee [of any degree]. In fact, I have never seen evidence. I don't see her in any of the rolls getting compensation for the early land cessions. There was one in 1830 that a lot of the Old Settlers got land. It seems to me some of the Borens would have been on that if they were.

I think that I asked the question in one of these postings? Someone else had claimed the fact and I have never seen proof of this in any of the sources I have checked. Would love to see the proof myself. I have often wondered if the family tradition is true merely because of the NC, and TN connecitons. But that is the flimsies of conjectures.

If you ever find proof let me know.

PS.. Nancy Boren is a proven ancestor for membership in the Daughters of the Republic of Texas.
