SMOTHERS, EUBANKS

My husband has been told ever since he found his real dad that there was cherokee blood in the family. His grandfather Beryl REA told him that Beryl's grandmother or great grandmother was a Cherokee Princess, but he never said what her name was. We have two lines to go by, one is EUBANKS and the other is SMOTHERS. I have a John EUBANKS from Tn and the Nancy SMOTHERS is also from Tn, Smith Co. Would like to find out if either of these names are connected to the Cherokee Indians or if there is another line I will have to look for. Thanks for any and all help.
