Hi,
I have been on a lot of trails, searching for family. And some have went the wrong way.
I am grateful to have a picture of my 3rd great grandmother Rebecca Morning star of Ohio. You are welcome to look at her picture and my great grandfather. He is a handsome guy. My father looks just like him.
I ran acorss the thought of it being Miami, but we are not.
Before I was born, the family said that Rebecca said she was Blackfoot.
I have ran across other Morning star Indian families in Ohio as well. I was wondering too if anyone had that name in their family?
Has anyone done a DNA test?- out of curiosity.
Do the Balckfoot have a spoken or (now days, I know not in older days) a written language that we can learn?
I would also love to talk to others and make friends on here. And if there are any in Ohio or Indiana, I would love to make friends with.
Thank You!
Concerning Rebeccas husband, I have never found anything about him. Everytime he (Hiram Jones) and Rebecca would move from state to state, he would put that state as his birth place, from OH to MI to IN.
Someone asked me that maybe he may have been Indian himself with changing where he was from every ten years.
Could that be true?
My hubbys granny told us before she died that they had Blackfoot but I’m havin trouble findin it. When I start searchin his ancestors like DeBord who married Martha Prince which lead me to Little Prince or Tustunnuggee Hopaie who is Creek. My hubby’s aunt also has this same info but nothin really concrete. Just lookin everywhere I can to find somethin out.
Hello Everyone,
I am new to this site and excited to have found it. Thanks for letting me join. I live in Patrick County, VA near Fairystone Park. I am Cherokee, Eastern Sioux, Creek and Scots/Irish. The Cherokee/Creek is on the maternal side and was fairly easy to research. Eastern Sioux and Cherokee is on my paternal side and has been difficult to research. Maternal surnames: Morrison, Craig, Shelton, Belcher, Harbour, Smith, Wood, Brammer, Bird, Stockton and Jamison. Paternal surnames are Hylton, Belcher, Boyd, Hall, Cruse, Conner – I have run into many blocks on this side of my family. Any help would be appreciated.
Smoke & Prayers,

Hello White Dove,
My father’s family is from Patrick County. His father was killed on the road into Fairystone by a state truck when they were building it. The homeplace and a family cemetery is on Pilson Sawmill Road. I also own a small piece of property there that my father gave me before he passed away. His family surnames are Bouldin(originaly Bowlin or Bolin), Foley, Shelton, Keaton and Collins. Lots of other names thrown in, but these are his grandparents names. Beeleaf is my cousin and you will see lots of threads from her. she is the one that has researched our family’s Native American Heritage. The old Brammer place was next to Dad’s homeplace and it was sold a while back. Other than the Shelton I don’t see any of my family names. I know there is a name that begins with M, but can’t remember right now. We are going for our evening walk and feed our zoo. I’ll check back when we get home, about an hour. We are planning to come to Patrick Co. this weekend. Cindi
My great grandfather James T. Morrison married Nannie Shelton (dob 10/1/1847 dod 4/21/1950). I am very familiar with the Old Brammer place and I live on Jacks Creek Rd. near the covered bridge. Have a safe journey to PC this weekend.

Did you ever see the old house before they tore it down? The boxwoods were as tall as the house. You could go out on the Balcony and the boxwoods were still over your head. I have a boxwood planted here at home that was rooted off one that was rooted from those boxwoods. There were green doors inside the house and the back section had a long porch upstairs and down stairs. Dad remembered it from visiting there when he was a child. I only saw it after it had started going down hill. We use to walk over there from Dad’s homeplace. Dad’s cousin Curtis still has the homeplace. I put some family info on your other thread. Got to go wash the woods off. cindi
And I forgot I have pictures of Jack’s Creek Covered Bridge. One with Dad standing in front of it and his truck in the background in the bridge, that was before they closed it to traffic. Dad died in Feb and times like this are when I miss him the most. Finding a patrick co person to talk to. Dad’s grandfather was considered the biggest liar in Patrick Co. The story is in a book on Patrick Co. cindi
Osiyo,
I do remember seeing the Brammer place but it has many, many years ago. I can remember going thru that bridge in the school bus and the sides of the bus scraping the bridge – it was fun. We always hoped we would get caught in the bridge. I will have to read the story about your g-grandfather.
Smoke & Prayers,
Debbie
