(Sorry about my previous one word post. My cat decided I was finished.)
Hello,
I am originally from Pike County, KY. A few months before my great-grandmother, Ida Breedlove, passed away, she was going through some old family photos with my father. He came across a tin-type photo and asked her who it was. She told him that it was a picture of her mother, Rebecca Goff. My father remarked that Rebecca Goff looked a lot like an “Indian” and my ggrandmother informed him that she was in fact a “Blackfoot Indian”.
(Again, I must apologize, my cat cut the last post short.)
Rebecca Goff’s parents were John Goff and Nancy Ramey. This branch of my family has long resided on Raccon Creek in Pike County.
I have posted this information in hopes that it might aid anyone else who is trying to trace the Blackfoot in Pike County. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Gary
