My GG grandfather JOSEPH SHELLEY married LENNIE JEFFERS 23 May 1885 in Paulding OH. I cannon find any records about her anywhere. My grandfather used to say we were Blackfood Indian but no one ever believed him. I do believe his mother, Lennie Jeffers was a Blackfoot Indian. I don’t know where to go from here. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Welcome to the forum, Nannab.
I’m trying to find these people. It shouldn’t be as tuff to find them as it has been. JEFFERS is a familiar name.

I know Jeffries in the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi who have stories of being Blackfoot, though I don’t know if it’s in the Jeffries line. What county is Paulding in?
Paulding is in Paulding Co. There is absolutely nothing I can find on her. She seems to have disappeared.

Jeffries/Jeffreys/Jeffers appear to be interchangable in census records and in Hiathcock’s works and I theorize these Jeffers came from Greene Co., Ohio and prior to that, Greenville Co., Va/ Halifax Co/ Alamance Co., NC — still working on it.

Lennie Jeffers seems to have disappeared. My G Grandfather married a woman named Clair, I think in 1919. My Grandfather, John F. Shelley settled in Omaha NE around 1902. Thanks
Lennie sounds like a nickname and she may be recorded on records with a different first name.
Levina, Levenia, Lenora, come to mind off the top of my head.
But we do have Jeffers/Jeffryes/Jeffries in Greene Co., Ohio.
