PLEDGER: (The 12,160th most popular last name in the United States)
My g-g-g-grandmother, Sarah Jane Pledger, married George Monroe Weaver and mother to Emma Weaver who married John Terry Murphy, was a full blooded Cherokee Indian and was born in 1828 in Elbert County, GA and died in 1888 in Cherokee County, AL. Her birth parents are unknown because when the Trail of Tears started she was adopted by Thomas Henry and Nancy (Ford) Pledger. I have that Thomas Henry was born on 09/21/1794 and died on 03/14/1880 and that Nancy was born in 1800 and died on 02/22/1848. Also in my records I have that both Thomas and Nancy are buried in Cave Springs, GA in Floyd County. After Nancy died, Thomas married Lucinda Parks who was born on 12/20/1815 and died on 07/14/1883.
I have the parents of Thomas Henry as Thomas (birth is est. as being around 1764 and his death was on 07/24/1846) and Nancy Ann (Leavister) Pledger. Thomas' parents are Joseph (birth is est. as being about 1735 and his death is est. as being around 1782) and Mary (McKeen) Pledger. Joseph's parents are John (birth is est. as being around 1705 and died 09/1743) and Mary (Johnson) Pledger. John's parents are John (born November 27, 1680 and died 01/ of either 1743 or 44) and Dorothy (Roberts) Pledger. John's parents are John (birth est. as being in 1650) and Elizabeth (Lefevre) Pledger.
It is also thought that Thomas and Nancy adopted Sarah's brothers and sisters because the dates of births of all the children are in order. If this is true, I do not know which ones are her true brothers and sisters and which ones are here adopted brothers and sisters or if all the children are her true brothers and sisters. Here are all nine children's names to Thomas and Nancy or the brothers and sisters names to Sarah Jane

SENTELL: (The 23,395th most popular last name in the United States)
My Sentell genealogy starts back in with John Sentell was was born around 1680 in Exeter, England. His son was Samuel Sentell, who was born in 1700 and he married Mary Hatcher. They had Jonathon L. Sentell who was born on 05/26/1729 and died in 02/1799. Jonathon married a lady named Ann. We do not know her last name for sure but I have seen it as both Sterling and Williams. Jonathon and Ann had four children; William, Samuel (who would become Sgt. Samuel Sentell), Johnathon (this is the way I have it recorded as being spelled) and Sterling Sentell. A large unanswered question and family fued begins here. It is said that when Jonathan died he left more to one son than he did to the other three sons. Because of this a fued began within the family and some Sentells began to spell their last name Sentell and some spelled it Sentelle, to tell the difference on which side of the fued you went with. ALSO, it is unknown which of the four sons is my grandfather. One of these had a son named John Jonathon Sentell and he married Harriet Soper McGuire. John and Harriet had five children; Charles M., Emma Catherine, John Jackson, Allen Tupper and Lewis Culbreath Sentell.

John and Martha had ten children; Mary Rosa Elizabeth, Charlie Robert David, James (Jim) Allen, Atline (Lizzy) Tryphenia, Cora Lilly, John Jasper, Dora Jane, Nancy Ribbon, Lucy Viola and Samuel Sentell. My g-grandfather, John Jasper, was born on 03/30/1889 and died on 02/05/1983 and married Bertie Ada Morrison. She was born on 02/13/1893 and died on 11/09/1977. Both are buried in the Berea Church of Christ. John and Bertie had four children; Clarence Raymond, John Lewis (J.L.), Mildred Jane and Lillie Mae Sentell.
