Obediah R. Kendrick or John Lamar Davis

Hi, I'm trying to trace my family tree. On my mothers side
is my ggrandfather Obediah Russell Kendrick. I was told
he was born in Alabama, but I'm not sure about that. I don't
know when he was born, but he was supposed to be part
Cherokee Indian, and supposedly went to Arkansas on the
Trail Of Tears. They settled in Pope County Arkansas.
I do have information on one of his sons, my grandfather.

I'm also trying to trace my grandfather John Lamar Davis.
I don't know where he was from, when he was born, or when
he died. My father, Jackson Lee Davis, really didn't tell
my mother much about himself. He said he was born in 1881,
in Tennessee. He was killed in an auto accident in 1929
I'll take any help I can get.
Thanks
