I have located two marriage records in Knox County Tenessee for Edy GEORGE in
April, 1824. The records indicate she married a Lillerbury or Littlebry JOHNSON
(family records only show him as L. B. Johnson). According to family records Edy
was from the Cherokee Nation. We have her birth date recorded as May 19, 1806.
They are my great-great-great-great grandparents. I have also located a Parnick
GEORGE which may be related to Edy GEORGE as she named my great-great-great

L. B. JOHNSON. If possible, I would like to know if her husband was also part of
