This is a direct ancestor of Kenny Rogers and appears to be the point from which we're inferring that Rogers had Cherokee ancestry.
Here's what the profile previously said:
Birth: May 20, 1870 - Cherokee Nation Road, Muldrow, Sequoyah County, OK, 74948, United States
Death: February 28, 1960 - Apple Springs, Trinity County, TX, United States
I've corrected this to reflect what his records say:
Birth: May 24, 1870 - Pennington, Trinity County, Texas, United States
Death: February 27, 1960 - Lufkin, Angelina County, Texas, United States
It's important to note that he was listed as white on all the records I'm finding, so I'm thinking the Cherokee info might be from a bad source. There are no sources on this profile, though, so I wanted to start a thread.
Perhaps Kenny Rogers *did* have Cherokee ancestry, but through a different ancestor? If so, let's get that cited.
