There are rumors of indian ancestors in my family. My family name is Allen. My grandmother was Mary Helen Allen born on August 17, I think the year was around 1930. She was born in Northampton county in the Jackson NC area. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Pamela,
Welcome to the forum.
It’s pretty difficult to prove Indian descent. At any rate, since she was born in Aug 1930, she wouldn’t be recorded on the 1930 census. Do you know the names of her parents and/or siblings?
If so, we can try to follow that line back in time.

I think my great-grandmother’s name was Theodosious Allen. I’m not sure who she was married to but I will find out and respond ASAP
Richard Haithcock reports seeing the name Allen in connection with families believed to be Saponi, Creek and Tuscarora. In my own family I have a cousin whose mother’s line was strongly native deriving from Virginia, and the Allen name was present. I’ve heard it more than a few times among others with VA native descent.
