Was Cherokee place of birth is an estimate. Probably Cherokee NC. My father stated that back then if Native American left the reservation they took traditional names. Death certificate name is a little blurry but I enlarged it and it does say Caldwell not Caliwell like it says on ancestry. Death Certificate also state her race as white my father and his siblings dispute this. The discrepancy can also be attributed to era when mixed race marriages were not widely accepted. Originally buried at Roundhill currently at Green Hill. Waynesville, NC. My father and I worked on this and everything else seems to be correct. I haven't been able to find her 2nd husband yet.
