Tomas Cordery married Susannah a full-blood Cherokee of the Savannah Clan. Their son, Early, married Charlotte Berryhill and they were the parents of Nancy Angeline Cordrey who married Joseph Collins a white man and they were the parents John Parker Collins, born March 17, 1855, married November 4, 1888, Sarah Elizabeth Beck nee Davis, born in Kansas March 10, 1867.
Part of the above information is incorrect, and is a frequent mistake on internet searches. Nancy Angeline Cordrey was the daughter of Early Cordery (was spelled both ways) and an unknown Indian woman while living in the Cherokee Nation East. He was wanted by the law there, so escaped to Texas, where he met and married Charlotte Berryhill and had a family. This is according to Don Shadburn’s “Unhallowed Intrusion.”
