I am new to this group. But I come with the old story of somebody in the family has Native blood. A couple of family members have told me that it is true. One says it is through my GGM’s line and the other has no idea which line.

Born 4-30-1885 Newton Co GA. Died 6-18-1937 Vance Co., NC. Her second husband was R Pratt Early. Third husband was Bill Bailey.

Hey Amy, good to finally see you at Saponitown. If you haven’t searched Wynn already, do that. I know we discuss Wynn/ Glenn unions that appear to be mixed…… and you and I have already discussed the possibilities with your Robinsons, Whiteheads and Wilsons. Happy hunting.
Welcome Painted Horse,
I recognize many of your surnames…if you use the search function, you may find some helpful information.
There are many here helpful in genealogical searches.

Hey Amy…didn’t see your post until now…welcome aboard! To all….this is one special lady that helps us survey cemeteries and does a lot of foot/paper work for us. Not to mention she has kids…and a hubby and fosters to animals. Creator blessed us when she crossed our path. Hope you can break down some of those brick walls.
Aho

Greetings and salutations Painted Horse. Even though I’m older than dirt I’m semi new to here. Your looking for something on your Robinson line. My Robinsons are supposed to be Cherokee?or other? …. The family has been looking but haven’t found anything that says yay! or nay!…. there was a rather large Robinson tree that was {?} on genealogy.com years ago that some in the family thought fit {?}. there wasn’t much but heresay… but one of the family stories says that one of the gggreatgrands was a horse trader and traveled from east to west U.S. and was married to a full blood NDN woman? …. He was supposedly hung for horse stealing ????…. I’ll have to dig out my papers and have a look see what I have ….
Becky,
Was always told that I was hard headed but I think I am getting a concussion from banging my head on these walls.
As you and Ken say..the info will be found when it is time. Just like I will find my Samuel when it is time.
Yellow Woman,
I came across an old email from the same aunt that told me her grandmother or great grandmother was indian. In this email she told me it was a grandfather or great. So who knows.
I have one Robinson that married a Terry. I have read some where that indians are in this line some where. I haven’t worked on that line in a while.
Welcome Painted Horse, Hope you’ll find your missing ancestors. Know how that feels. That’s what is so nice abt this forum~people helping others find some answers. Good Luck and if I run across any of your people, I’ll post. Happy Hunting~~Greydove~^~ btw your name invokes a beautiful image of strong spirit~

I have now learned Jane’s last name was Heavner. It has been said that she was not married to James Sr. But instead had a child (James, my ggf) with his brother Tod out of wedlock.
This supposedly confirmed by a reverand from Daniels Lutheran. I have tried finding proof of this confirmation. I have been in contact with the church as well as the Crumley archives in SC. There was also a possible mention of this in a book in the Lincoln County NC library. But the librarain did not find mention of it.
Peace

Caldwell
My family (Stewart) were skilled craftsmen, who sometimes used Caldwell and other anglo- surnames as first names, quite a statement about their between worlds status. Caldwell and Ruffin were living close in the 1840 Person County census, I believe. I have to check that one, if you’re interested. There’s more to that story.

I would love to hear the story. The Tod I mentioned earlier was married to Minerva Ruffin Cain. I have not researched her line yet. So I don’t know if Ruffin is her middle or maiden name.
For those that don’t know, Amy Hines Ralston (Painted Horse) crossed over this year in April. She lost her husband and best friend in January of this year as well. We can only surmise that between the cancer and a broken heart that Creator saw fit to take her into His loving arms. She leaves behind two children, Joseph and Amanda. She also leaves behind many friends in Person county and SC where she resided the last couple of years. We will miss her wit and wisdom along with her talent for finding ancestors. Rest in peace, dear friend….we miss your smiling face. Love you, Becky and Ken
