Thomas and Mary Adair Goss have four extra children. Thomas and Mary (who was a Cherokee) were married in Habersham County, GA about Sept. 5,1822. They had three children - Walter, b. 1824, Benjamin, b. 1827, and Rachel, b. 1829. Thomas obtained a permit to live in the Cherokee Nation in 1830, stating that he had a wife and three children. They lived in the Cherokee Nation until Mary died in August, 1832. It is unknown what happened to Thomas after Mary died, but all three children went to Indian Territory at Removal (1838). .
One of the extra children, Sally, clearly belongs to a different Thomas and Mary (the 1850 census shows Sally, born in South Carolina in 1823, and her husband Anthony Walters living between both sets of parents in Texas), but I am unable to find homes for Nathaniel, Riley, and Harriet, all of whom supposedly lived in Indian Territory/Oklahoma.
Is anyone missing these children?
