      Does anyone know of a connection between the Mckellops and Nancy Ralston? Nancy was Creek Indian, but was seperated from her family and raised by the Phillips. Although Nancy is listed on the Dawes Roll, I have not been able to find proof of her indian familys' name.

      From my research I believe Nancy Ann McKellop's daughter Electra Hodge was married to Nancy Jane Phillips Ralston's son James Alan Ralston.

      Nancy Jane McKellop Ralston
      Burial place of Nancy Ralston (to the south). Nancy came up the "Trail of Tears". Nancy was adopted by a white couple. She did not know she was of Indian descent. Before her original family was broken up, Nancy's brother branded her arm with a hot iron. He was later able to locate her by the scar on her arm. ~ Erected: May 25, 1992

      Donna Forney Clark;
      It would be good to have these questions answered:
      1. Was Nancy Ralston a full Creek or 1/2 Creek Indian? She was 1/2 Creek.
      2. Was she born in Oklahoma or, as noted in the 1870 and 1880 US Censuses, in Illinois?
      3. Was her maiden name McKellop or Phillips?
      4. What are the sources of the thumbnail photos on http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?gl=allgs&gsfn=Nancy&gsln=Mckellop&gss=seo&ghc=20 ?

      The Rolls list the individual's name, age, sex, blood degree, census card number and page, enrollment number, and tribe.
      In most cases the ages indicated on the rolls are the age of individuals around 1902. Those listed as "newborns" and "minors" were born after the initial enrollment began in 1898, but before March of 1907."
