Who’s listed here
Famous people come from Wikidata (people whose birthplace is Cherokee), checked against each person’s English Wikipedia article and ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover them. Nobody born in Cherokee has passed that check yet, and nobody born within 35 miles is listed.
From Wikidata and Wikipedia: people whose birthplace is Cherokee and whose English Wikipedia article agrees, ranked by how many Wikipedia languages cover each person. People known mainly for crimes, and adult performers, aren’t listed. “The usual town” = everyone born in the towns gathered so far.
