I wish to thank Jim Northcutt for finding these wonderful petitions.
Huddleston - Claims for Citizenship in the Cherokee Nation. 
He has proven that Joseph S, Fleming, and William G. is sons of
 Benjamin Huddleston, also, that Ben mar Margaret WELCH, and 
Bens, E., when I put this line together I did not have one piece of 
proof!!! Now the problem is, who is the father of Benjamin E. 
Huddleston, 7 petitions says that Ben is the half blood Cherokee, 
2 petitions says it is Margaret, 1 petition says it is both. When I 
put together the children of David and Salley Easley Huddleston, 
again I do not have proof,and I cautioned people that I did not 
have it. With 7 people saying Benjamin E. Huddleston is half 
blood Cherokee Indian, then he is not son of David and Sally
Huddleston. For those who have accepted Ben as Davids son 
you need to make your correction. And start looking for Bens 
father. Margaret and William J. are children of Fleming, grand 
children of Ben.  The rest are great grandchildren. John W. did 
not know that he was out of Joseph S., not William G. Thanks, 
Jim, for finding that, Fleming was son of Ben and Margaret 
Huddleston. Anna )
