Looking for information on raley and possible cherokee influence. Father William Burrell RAley, grandfather William Franklin RAley married Gladys Craddick, GrGrandfather was Robert Benjamin RAley married Carrie Columbia Nidever, GrGr Grandfather William Hugh RAley married Georgia Harriet Wynn - My father William Burrell said he was "part blood" probably Cherokee and family didn't talk about it "because it got you nothing but trouble!" He settled in California after WWII, married Noreen Kuner (my Mom) and was excited to be in a family who didn't care about his background. My mother's brother's wife was 1/4 CArmel Mission Indian and rest of family used to joke about how the family was "going to the indians" Any feed back is welcome and willing to share what little I have.
