I am a defendant of this town, the chiefs daughter married my Coffman, and they married other females to the Easterwoods. The Coffman’s ( Sweden farmer) took his Cherokee wife and several of her family to alabama and built the first church in Pleasant Grove Alabsma . Wende ya ho! We are still here and we are still Cherokee!
