Mel, first my email is clsdean@aol.com

I got Jacob's name from the marriage records of Mary Ann. She was married 3 times. I have never been able to find the Mother's name.

As for her Indian heritage....yes, it is talked about but I don't think she was a full blood. She DID have black hair but that means nothing. That black hair is the basis of the family legend that SHE was the Indian.

She and Adam did have some children who died young and their physical description in their death records describe them as "black" complected. So maybe so. ONE branch of the family (one of my Grandmother's brother's descendants) states that Mariah was the daughter of a Cherokee "Medicine Man" whose name was Doctorman and a Cherokee "Princess". Nevermind that the Doctorman's were from Germany via PA. LOL. The name was originally DOCHTERMAN. And there were NO such things as Cherokee "Princesses".

Her (Mary Ann) daughter Mariah Doctorman md Elijah Franklin LOCKERBY and I suspect that HE was the son of the Indian.

My Grandmother always swore that she was 1/4 Cherokee. She was very specific about the degree and the Tribe.

Elijah's military records state that he was dark complected, black eyes, black hair. His Mother is my "mystery woman" Her name was Lydia and was born in either NC or TN depending on which census you read. I suspect it might have been in that corner of NC that became TN and was also Cherokee country. Mr. Lockerby of course was a Scot and they DID find their way back into the hill country of NC and intermarried with the Cherokee.

Lydia also marred 2nd a Henry Freeman. Freeman is one of the common Cherokee surnames. They moved to Southern KS right across the line from Indian Territory.

All of this is conjecture of course as I have been told by Cherokee "experts" that there were NO Cherokee in IL before the Trail of Tears. Lydia was in IL by 1830 and Mary Ann was born there in 1825. I will keep searching on this.

email me please.

Hi Carol
I'm sorry but I haven't found any info on a first wife for Jacob P. I have always suspected he was father of Mary Ann but was never able to prove it. Could you send me some proof for my records? It was suspected she was Native American. If so then she it would have to be thru her mother. Those marriages can be very hard to track. I would appreciate anything you can send me about Mary Ann that may help me reopen my search on the family. Birth date or even state of birth would be very helpful.
Thanks
Mel

I am a descendent of Jacob P. Ennest's daughter Mary Ann.
She was not a product of the marriage with Elizabeth Baldwin however. Mary Ann was b 1825 and Jacob didn't marry Elizabeth until 1852.

Do you have ANY info on his first wife? In 1860 Mary Ann was living next door to Jacob in Paducah, KY. Mary Ann md first Adam Doctorman.

Thank you!
