New Family of Julia Frances Crapps/king Morgan?

Question

have not checked since 2017. Do we have any more family members on this site related to Julia Frances Crapps/King Morgan who was married to Constant Tine Morgan in Mississippi. She was said to be half Cherokee but adopted at age 9 or 10. They had 10 Children, last Daughter Born was Nettie Morgan. Julia and Constant Tine Morgan are buries in Hazlehurst MS. at Bethel Baptist Church.

Comments

Just a note that the Cherokee never lived in or near Mississippi; there is no way a Cherokee child could be adopted there in 1870.  Copiah County is on land ceded away by the Choctaw in 1820.

The Crapps family was from South Carolina. Julia is living with her grandmother Desmoney Crapps in 1870, Julia and her siblings are listed as KING. Hampton King married Anya Crapps. There is no evidence of any Native American heritage in either the King and Crapps families. The Crapps families had been in South Carolina since the 1790s - answered censuses

i assume you mean Julia Frances (King) Morgan (1861-1943) | WikiTree FREE Family Tree

from Fannie J Morgan in household of Carlin T Morgan, "United States Census, 1910" — FamilySearch.org it says white on the census form

now you said you found on ancestry that she was the daughter of Peter Graybeard is this him see Peter Graybeard, "United States Census, 1900" — FamilySearch.org

so the mystery here is why is she listed as white on the census forms and if she was the daughter of Peter Graybeard as listed above, why was she adopted,  and why is she listed as  born in Mississippi and  as per the census her father is also  listed as born in Mississippi. 

The Peter Graybeard  that is listed here was  not born in Mississippi.

Ancestry trees are not very reliable  unless they are backed by sources.

Her family tree that I added to her profile shows

the familysearch family tree is not sourced and is NOT correct. 1870 living with GRANDMOTHER CRAPPS !!!  Hampton King and Anya Crapps are parents- docs in Ancestry.

The Peter Graybeard listed in the 1900 Census in Indian Territory was a full-blood Cherokee Indian from North Carolina.  He and his wife emigrated to Indian Territory in 1883.  Neither he nor his wife ever lived in or near Mississippi.

The Crapps family was living in Alabama in 1850; there is a daughter "Savana"  who might be "Anya."  "United States Census, 1850," database with images, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MHPY-LMY : 19 December 2020), Savana Crops in household of Jacob Crops, Choctaw City, Choctaw, Alabama, United States; citing family , NARA microfilm publication (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.).

this is not an obscure family - several of Jacob's and Dessie's sons served with honor in the Confederate Army. And there are books about the family
