Researching Rutherfordton, N.C. American Indains who lived in the hills during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Their surnames are Carpenter, Michel (Michael) and Logan.
Thank You Bill 🙂
My deceased grandmother Mattie Carpenter was a Blackfoot Indian who lived in the hills of Rutherfordton, N.C.
Mattie’s mother maiden name was Michel and her grandmother’s is Logan.
Bill, that’s about all I can tell you at this time. I’ve been trying to find out more about my Indian heritage. For Instance,which one of my ancestors were descented from the Indian linkage and information about the tribe they were from.

Beansoup,
If your Mother or her GrandMother were born before 1930, I may be able to help (I have no idea of your age range and you didn’t supply an age range for them and the 1930 census is the latest census available). If not, you may need to dig into Social Security Death Records or the county Courthouse records to come up with an earlier ancestor.
A couple of questions….
Do you have the first name of your Grt-GrandMother Logan?
Do I understand correctly that LOGAN was her maiden name?
Bill
Millery Logan was born around 1805. She is the mother of Harriet Logan Michel. Harriet’s daughter is Mattie Michel Carpenter, and Mattie’s daughter is Mattie Carpenter Lee, both were born before 1900. Bill, I do have Mattie Carpenter Lee’s birthdate, but I have to look it up and get back to you.
Also, I don’t know for sure if Logan is Millery’s maiden name. I came her cross her name on the 1870 census listed as living with her daughter and son and law at the age of 75.
