Yeah, she descends from Pocahontas, but she says it really means nothing because it was so far back in time. Everytime I see Wayne Newton on TV, I tease her with “There’s your cousin.”
I have her ancestry that her uncle gave her for Christmas one year, way too many names and pages to post here, but contains many of the names depending on whom, or surnames depending on whom, as above.
Well hello Melungeon,
Re: Elijah Creech Minor named after Elijah Lee Creech that married Susan Sally Day!!
It is so nice of you to write me and tell me about this. How exciting. Elijah Lee Creech and Susan Sally Day are my paternal 4GGrandparents. Yes, by this time Sara Annie Banks married John Calvin Sturgill in Wise Co. Va. A lot of them migrated over to Wise Co., Va from Letcher Co. Ky! Sturgill I remember my Papaw Ed telling me that people back in these days were born at home with a midwife or the “company doctor” (coal camps). I am getting a vivid picture of what you are telling me. I bet they walked too! Times was hard and maybe did not even have a horse. Wow your Grandpaw( Elijah Creech Minor) was named after my 4G-Grandpa!!! Wow! That’s exciting. Thanks for telling me this neat fact!
Hi all,
My name is Nora and I am descended from the Damrons on my maternal grandmother’s side. My grandmother has always said that she has Native American blood in her from her grandmother Melinda Damron’s side. I also have a picture of her and in my opinion I believe she was part Native American. I’ve researched the Damron’s in my family and have come to the conclusion that this is my line.
Me
My mom
My grandmother
Melinda Damron married James Riley Herald, Jr on May 27,1886
Melinda’s parents are Samuel Damron and Evelyn Marcum
Samuel’s parents are Richard Damron and Elizabeth Drawdy (This is where
I’m unsure of his parents?)
Richard’s parents are Moses Dee Damron and Sara Adkins
Moses Dee’s parents are Moses Damron and Aggie (Owl) Ogle (possible where the Damron spelling changed and possible Native American Blood from Aggie?)
Moses’ parents are Lazarus Dameron and Elizabeth Smith
I saw a post further up where Lee said he had a obit for Samuel Damron that said his grandmother was Native American. I would love to get a copy of it if possible or at least find out where I can get a copy of it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you, Nora
