Actor Wes Studie on ‘Finding Your Roots’ 16 January 2024

Correction: Thomas Blair was the son of Oo-di-qua-no-si ‘George’ Blair & his second wife, Nancy Blair Sarah’s sister, who died on the Trail of Tears.

On his maternal side, we do far have up to Lizzie Ussary a Cherokee women who married a white man, Phillip ‘George’ Ussrey

Lizzie’s origins should lead to his sixth great grandmother, Nancy Ward, Ghi-ga-u, ‘Beloved Woman of the Cherokees’

Can you all help us get there on Geni?

Going back to the Cherokee wife of
Col. James Hayes Blair, Sr. Sal-lie ‘Sarah’ Smith was she the daughter of Oganstota and Unknown

Oganstota was a Cherokee man probably born about 1750. HIs wife, whose name is unknown, was from the Deer Clan. They were the parents of The Ridge, and David Oo-wa-ti. [2] The Moravian missionaries also mentioned a daughter, but not by name. [3] According to memories of The Ridge, the family was displaced in 1776 during the Revolutionary War when American militia under Rutherford destroyed the Cherokee towns near Hiwassie [4] and moved to the Sequatchie valley farther down the Tennessee River. The family made a final move to Pine Log (now Georgia) about 1785. Oganstota and his wife are believed to have died there about about 1789. [5]

This is the geni profile for Oganstota

The https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/235630924/sarah-blair researcher (labeling it WIP) suggests she was the daughter of Oganatota "Dutch" "Long Warrior" "Da-Tsi" "Tally" Tah-Chee and Susannah "Deer Clan" Catherine Wickett. “Sarah Watie Blair's siblings are also well known Cherokees: Major John Ridge , David O'Watie and Chief Nettle Carrier.”

There seem some errors, but it looks like it’s possible?
