Here is a link to an article about my Great-Gradmother, Docia Emma Rowland Gatlin, a descendant of Ursula Weatherford. She lived to be 103 years old.

. Here is my Wright Burleson family tree on ancestry:
https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/73346371/family
Ursula Weatherford Burleson is my husband's 4th great-grandmother.
Ursula Weatherford is definitely Indian, as well as many of the families that were intermarried with the Weatherfords and Burlesons. The Vanns were all Cherokee.

Her brother is William 'Red Eagle" Weatherford, well-known and historically documented with the US government in Washington D.C., and with presidents. Check out what small amount of information I have listed here on my ancestry site:

Also, her sister, Agnes, was married to John "Cherokee" Vann, who was definitely Cherokee

If you check out the information by Belinda K Pierce, who recently died, you will find massive amounts of information on Burlesons and Weatherfords. She is most definitely one of the most knowledgeable experts on the Burleson family ever. She has over 900 pages on the Burleson website alone about Burlesons and Weatherfords. It is not easy to navigate, because it does not have a search option, but she has tons of interesting information on the individuals as well as just names and dates. If I remember right, my mother-in-law, Ruth Burleson, is found on about page 646. Here's Belinda's web site (thank goodness no one has taken it down!):

This is another one of Belinda's sites. Check the pictures listed at the bottom. Also, more information on Red Eagle Weatherford: "If you are searching for information on Red Eagle, Lynn Hastie has written a wonderful book called William Weatherford His Country and His People. Her book is in hardback and would make a wonderful book in your genealogy collection for any Weatherford researcher. To order a copy of her book just scroll down to my links and click."
