America Cohee-Webster, Creek roll number 4661, great grandmother of Rhonda Grayson

Because of the influence of her grandfather, Mitchell Grayson, Rhonda has always been keenly aware of her African Creek ancestry.  Her grandfather spoke often of his grandmother, Adeline Grayson, and the fact that she only spoke the Creek language and attended the Creek Indian Church. 

Her great grandmother, America Cohee, was an original allottee of Creek Nation, roll number 4661.  In addition, her forefather, Peter Wolf, (also known as Peter Spencer), was a Loyal Creek.

Little did Rhonda know that her casual family research would lead her to embark upon a long journey of advocating for the rights of African Indian people; a journey that would open doors for her to exercise the privilege of helping to serve and assist in preserving the history of a denied people. Her desire is that, in the very near future, the world will have access to educational programs that accurately reflect the history of African Indian people.
