Does anyone have any information on David Vance I/Sr. who had four children by a Cherokee Indian Maiden? Her name was Morning Star/Morningstar. I have the names of the four children. One of his son's is my GGG Granddad and his name is also David Vance and married a Rose.

You should put dates of birth, death and marriage and any other information you have but dates are very important as there could be many people with the same name.

I do not have the dates for David Vance I (Sr.) and Morningstar. This is why I am asking if anyone knows anything. The records for David got burned up in the fire at the courthouse and North Carolina told me that they didn't keep records on Indians in the time period I needed. David Vance I was born abt. 1788. I have my information on the children, just don't have all the information I want on the parents. I am in process of putting all my information together in book form.
