My great grandmother, Martha Cardin, gave birth to William Arthur Cardin on 3/7/1897 in Tellico Plains, TN. In 1909 Martha and her husband Tom took Art and moved west.I'm looking for Martha's maiden name. I have been told she was of Cherokee ancestry. This Cherokee blood line is what I'm interested in learning about.I have also been told that my Cardin ancestors had been called Kirkland but changed their name to Cardin because of relatives that rode with Jesse James.
