Which Native American Tribe Resided around Halifax and Palmyra NC in the Early 1800’s?

Over the year I have been told that my  great great great grandmother was an American Indian who had married a previous slave. I traced her name which was morning who was born in 1825 somewhere in North Carolina and lived in the Palmyra /Halifax areas in North Carolina. Trying to find out if there were any American Indian tribes living in that area. she was born abt 1825 and I know she lived in these areas around 1845. I can’t find her maiden name only her married name.

  1. Sorry… in rereading my answer I misspoke…

    The prominent tribe in the area of Halifax/Palmyra was the Cherokee Tribe. When I said there were 10,000 of them, I meant 10,000 Cherokees… not 10,000 tribes…
