I'm currently researching the family line extending back from Naamon Osco York, who lived 1913 - 1985. I just received a copy of his Social Security Application (SS-5), which shows his parents to be George Wilbert York and Lucy Bell. He was born in Gainesville Georgia on August 1, 1913 and died December 19, 1985. The name listed for his mother on the SS-5 is in conflict with the Obituary for Douglas York, his infant son who died back in 1952. The obit shows that one of the living grandmothers as Mrs. Eula Bell York of Palmetto, Georgia.  Eula Bell was supposed to be full-blooded Cherokee Indian from North Georgia. Proving this is my main focus and may prove to be difficult. I'm speculating that I've located Eula Bell on the 1880 Census for Oostanula, Gordon County, Georgia. This is in the vicinity of New Echota, the Captial of the Cherokee Nation in 1825.My Aunt Joan Adair confirms the photo at right is Eula Bell York (her Grandmother). It was found in a collection of old York and Gramling family photos. From the census data below, Eula Bell was 2 years old in 1880, putting her birthdate as 1878 and about 35 years old when she would have had Naamon. This is why I think it might be her family record. Again, if you can help me make the connection of this Eula Bell to Naamon York... Please let me know! |
