    I am a great-great-great-granddaughter of Thomas McGlaughlin who was adopted with his siblings, born in Surry County NC. The story behind this is that "Tommy's" family was part Cherokee Indian, and apparently lived among them. He was one-quarter Indian, according to the Reid memoirs. Due to the Treaty of 1819, the family was slated to be moved to Georgia. Isaac Reid was employed to help move the Indians to Georgia and when he found out when they were to be moved, he acquired a marriage license and married Elizabeth, sister to Tommy in 1819. Tommy, his brother Ephraim, and sisters Delilah and Violet were sent to live with the family of William Hill. I am looking for his parents. I believe his mother was named Elizabeth. I owould also like to find the Hill who "adopted" them.
