My mother said she had an Indian uncle. Mom lived in Grayson Co., Va. near the NC border in the Peach Bottom, Baywood area as well as Elk Creek. She said she was born in either
Fries or Galax in 1899. Her parents and grandparents surnames are:
Coomes, Fields, Holderfield and Davis. She also said he was a giant.
Of course she was 10 years old when she saw him. She was home alone
when he came to visit. She fixed him a pot of beans which she burned.
He ate them anyway and said they were the best beans he ever ate. (:
Mom, Cida (Celia) A. (Fields) Coomes had a little friend she loved names Waneta. She named my sister after her. Photos of ancesters can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/pashe_46160/picturesp1.html

Welcome Patience. Which of the people pictured are on the line you think is Indian? Do you have any idea what surname that uncle had?
My grandfather was John D. Coomes and grandmother Celia Elizabeth Fields. To be a true uncle he would have to be a Fields. However John Ds. mother was Amanda Davis. She looks darker than the Coomes. The Fields have the facial structure of some tribes but look British, too.
Great grandparents are Fields, Brown, Holderfield/Holyfield. I believe there was a Creek Chief who was a Holderfield but more recient than would be connected to me. Thanks for checking out my web page. My mom was always told she looked Indian. She is pictured with me on her lap.
