re: Warren said her Mom was part "Cherokee & Delaware Indian" [Video]

I was always told that we had some Cherokee lineage on my dads side. Once I started doing genealogy about 20 years ago I discovered that my great, great, great grand mother attended a school for Indian children in Elijay, Ga in 1840.

My dad told me he had heard the story when he was young from his dad. His dad died in 54 when my dad was 12. As I grew older and more interested, My meemaw could only confirm that she had heard the same tale from my dads father and his parents when they were young in the 1930s.

It was kind of cool to find the school register on Ancestry. Com and be able to show my dad that the tale was at least partially true. I found her family on the 1840 census(she was 14) but it only had her dad listed and some siblings. He was listed as a farmer and only his state of birth(Ga.) There was no mother in the household so she might have been dead and I couldn’t even locate them on the 1830 census. I would love to know if both of her parents were full blooded or if only one was. I will probably never know if my great x3 Grandmother was full blooded or half blooded.
