..That is not something you will here descendants of the Texas pioneers admit very often, because ultimatey, it can always be traced back to a really bad situation. Pat, I hadn't thought about that. Makes a lot of sense. Texas is so big, I wonder if it is different in the panhandle, close to Oklahoma? Sycamore
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Not a drop of black, Indian or even worse, Yankee blood. I know every ancestor in the tree, back to the middle ages or earlier. Clean bill of health, so to speak.  Eres puro Cubano? Excelente! Sycamore

One side of the wife's family made the trek from Bean Station,Tennessee to Crescent City, OK about the time of the Trail of Tears. Her grandmother's maiden name was Meeks, which definitely has Cherokee connections as the name Meeks appears on the Cherokee Rolls from that time and those areas, but the wife's family denies any connection to that heritage.

Lots of Oklahoma and Texas folks...who else?
1/2, 1/4, 1/8?
Myself, not so much.
As in none, but did grow up on a reservation.
Sycamore That is not something you will here descendants of the Texas pioneers admit very often, because ultimatey, it can always be traced back to a really bad situation. I don't know about the "situation",but it was most vehemently denied by the members of my family who stayed in Texas.My Grandfather,who was a "halfbreed",couldn't escape it since he remained in contact with my Great Grandmother , and had a passel of half brothers and sisters who were full blood.My father and his brothers and sisters all left Texas after WW2[he and all my uncles served] and the kin on my Mother's side all denied it,as it was certainly not "cool" at the time to have a relative who had married a "part indian". I have a niece in California who has "gone native",so to speak,even having her name legally changed,once she found the documentation that she is one-sixteenth Comanche! Maybe I ought to sign up for my "free goodies",but I look at it the same way as VA benefits;I've made it into my "twilight" years without gov't assistance,so why start now?

Right. When it came to breeding Europeans with Texas indians, somebody down the line didn't have a choice.

Great grandmother on my father's side & great-great grandfather on my mother's side...that I am aware of. May be more, my family has been here a very long time especially on mom's side. I always took it in stride, indian ancestors are pretty common in appalachia.

Way back on both sides, from what I understand. Part of it was from Virginia back during the colonization.
Couldn't tell it by my complexion though...red-hair, freckles and the continuous burn & peel cycle.
Still when I tell people that I hunt and they look at me funny, I tell them - "It is the way of my people."

Has any of Ya'll thought about the fact that a large part of the immigrants were men that came and intended to send for family later? I figure that after a while things happened and they could not or would not send for the ones they left behind, so they took women here, and they were in short supply. Most likely a lot were single men with no ties that came. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Yep, miles, men have been known to like puzzy no matter their locale at the moment.

1/4 Potawatomi, but never claimed it myself. My paternal grandmother was full indian but wouldn't talk about it and had very little to do with the reservation.
