Info Jerry Steele
Played pump organ and was musically inclined. She was a Cherokee Indian.
In researching her family, I have come across the following names:
Walt TIMMONS, source unknown (Terri Moore's Oklahoma Cherokee web site)
John TIMMONS, 1840 Georgia Cherokee Census
Noble TIMMONS, ditto
Samuel TIMMONS, ditto
Additional research is required to determine connections with Winnie Ann.
From a comparison of the dates, the men mentioned in the 1840 census would be
Winnie Ann TIMMONS' grandfather, maybe father, or of those generations
