Hey Debbie, Your names do not match mine, but your story about Black Foot and then Cherokee does. My whole life my Mother told me we were Black Foot and then when my youngest daughter was doing a family tree, so it was years and years later she said you know I may have been wrong, your Uncle (her brother) said we were Cherokee. Well I was like What, but my Uncle had died by this point so I could not ask him any details and she was getting up in years and her memory was fading. So why the mix up? Well the "White" people called all Indians Black Feet because of walking barefoot in ashes. So how do we know? I don't have the answer yet, but also I ran across a site called Saponi Indians which was a mixture of larger tribes that had been nearly wiped out for one reason or another, and they nicknames Black Foot also . So that is all I know it still is a mystery and has made the search harder. The real Black Foot Indians were out of Canada and then live in the Northwestern part of the USA. Good luck and let us know what you find!

Debbie, I have Jamison in my line also. I also have a note as to what tribe they were supposed to be-whether it was in Ohio or not, I don't know; but let me look tomorrow and get back with you.

I am trying to figure out what tribe - these family are TABLER, SATTERWHITE, MAYLE(MALE), CORBIN, DRIGGS, BARROW, and JAMISON

They lived in Athens County, Ohio and also in Zanesville, Muskingen County, Ohio.... So what tribes were in this area... all the Federal census - mention BLACK ... I know that Native Americans can be called White, Black and Muttalo I have NOT been able to find them in Indians Census...

I was told that they were BLACKFOOT or BLACKFEET (but that out of Oklahoma) then I was told Cherokee...

Help...........

I have traced back in the Ogle family line that some of our ancestors from the Huskey family line were Cherokee they are 7 generations back from me with family hints that there are more Cherokee roots a little closer than that. ((I had a full blood Cherokee co worker that said there had to be more recent blood than 7 gen back due to certain expressions and mannerisms and facial features.))

Just as someone else stated my family also has an "Indian Princess". The story my Mother told was that a Cox from TN married an Indian Princess. Now I have traced that family back to GGG Grandfather Cox and I don't think that his wife is the Native American so I think it must be his mother and his father is the Cox from TN. I had my brother do the dna and the mtdna came up group H. So I was disappointed and I really do not understand the dna. I find William Cox in Sangamon County, ILL in the mid 1820's. He marries Jane Hohimer there and they then move to Southern MO. On the census William states or someone states that he was born in VA. his son Henry (my GG Grandfather) states on his census some years later that his father was born in NC. So with what my Mother said about TN, I am thinking that maybe he was born in the area where VA, NC, TN meet, which that was also Cherokee Territory. The lines of the then Territories kept changing in the late 1700's early 1800's so that may be the confusion. I know I am grasping a little. So if anyone has any information on a Cox line that married a Native American I would be eternally grateful for anything you might have. The family names I am researching on my Mother's side besides Cox are McNulty, Blakesley, Barker, Cox, Bushong, Hohimer, Harvey, Jackson, Bacon

My ggggreat-grandfather was William S. TAYLOR b. circa 1770. His grandchildren submitted applications to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Muskogee Area Office, Relating to the Enrollment of the Five Civilized Tribes under the Act of 1896. They listed Cherokee as the tribe on the application and that he was from MS. His daughter Mary "Polly" TAYLOR b. 16 May 1801 in TN d. 13 June 1887 in Wise Co, TX m. 1825 to John RAY b. 1 Jan 1800 in GA d. 16 July 1884 in Wise Co, TX. They were my gggreat-grandparents. John RAY was a Baptist preacher and he and Mary TAYLOR RAY lived in Fayette Co. AL, Itawamba Co. and Alcorn Co. MS, Johnson Co. and Wise Co. TX, and Arkansas.

My great grandmother was suppose to be of Cherokee and/or Lenape/Delaware Indian heritage.Her name was Mary Hudson birth 1872 daughter of William Hudson and Mary Virginia.I am at a brickwall with her.
Comment by Carol Dobkins Keith on July 13, 2009 at 6:13pm
My Native American surnames are Dobkins (Cherokee), Lewis (tribe unknown), Compton (? Cherokee) and Palmer (supposedly Choctaw). I have quite a bit on the Dobkins Cherokee line; nothing on the Lewis. My great-great grandmother's name was Jemima/Gemima Lewis; and she seemed to be somewhat of an outcast in the family at that time--known mostly as "that Lewis woman". I would like to find out anything about her parentage; and, of course, am very interested in anything on the other surnames I have listed. I'll be happy to share what little I have with anyone else researching the above surnames.

My great-great grandmother was Mahala Ennis b: 1820 in Burke Co., North Carolina. She was Cherokee. She is my brick wall. I can't find her parents, although I have found an Ennis family in that area I suspect she may have come from. I have a picture of her with her husband, Charles Ackles, and their youngest son (my g-grandfather), James Hamilton Ackles.

Mahala married Charles Ackles (b: 1819 in Illinois) in November of 1839 in Illinois (I have no idea what Mahala was doing in Illinois at that time, I suspect she may have been going through there during the Removal). They migrated to Iowa after their marriage.
