The names Newman and Mayfield do not sound like Cherokee names. There is a native American rootsweb discussion board. You might want to post your information there. You can also do a Dawls roll search for those names. If she was part native American, she may be an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The tribe is not a huge tribe. You can also call the Eastern Band of Cherokee Enrollment office in Cherokee, they have all the enrolled members dating back to before the "Trail of Tears". Since the early 1950's the members of the EBCI have received per capita checks, every EBCI member receives a percap check. The main office would know for sure if Clara Bell Newman was an enrolled Cherokee Member. This would be a great place to start hunting. Have you searched for Hosea Henson in any of the Military records online for WW II enlistments. There are a lot of free websites to search. Information on the death of Hosea Henson, might give you some clues. Or where he enlisted/buried might help you find the mother. Good Luck
