The book (Kennedy, p. 24) identifies Edward Sizemore, b. 1725, with Edward Sizemore of the Eastern Cherokee affidavits. They must be two separate men, since the second Edward "Old Ned" Sizemore who was the ancestor discussed under Eastern Cherokee claims lived until approximately 1858 according to the Guion Miller testimony taken in 1908 (see below). In one place, Kennedy claims specifically to be a descendant of the one who was the "self-proclaimed Cherokee," but dates his birth to 1725.

The book also identifies the wife of Joseph Phipps Sr. (1730-?:) as a daughter of Ned Sizemore, "name lost to history" (Kennedy, p. 56). If such a connection can be documented, it must be to a daughter of one of the older Edward Sizemores, not to the "Eastern Cherokee claims" Old Ned Sizemore (see below). None of the material located (see notes below) alleged a Phipps marriage for one of the Cherokee Claims Edward "Old Ned" Sizemore's daughters.
