Missouri Cherokee

It is possible that my Cherokee line comes from a group from Missouri. They would be from Clay County, Missouri and removed to Indian Territory Oklahoma. Does anyone know anything about this group? My Ancestors would be from the West family.

Clarification

My Native American dna results show that I have Cherokee at 45 and a weaker match of Lumbee. I have two alleles and 10 rare genes one of which is Crazy Horse

My Son shows Lumbee at 4 and Cherokee at 9 and he only has one allele

How does his Cherokee and Lumbee show higher than mine?
