I recently been in contact with Bridget Cope Scott(scatrat22@hotmail.com ). She is a descendent of slaves of James Cope of Warren County, Tennessee. She also is a Cherokke descendent, possibly of my line.
Bridget has decided to post a web page on this subject, so I'll add a link to her page, and delete most of the ijformation I once had here. I will keep the census informarion and marraige information that I colected from research I had done at the Ft Wayne-Allen County(Indiana) Public Library.
