MY ggrandparents, were George O Adams and Sarah ?? Adams. There daughter Susan Elizabeth Adams Ihrig was Cherokee and I have a OK Census in front of me as I write, She like to be called Elizabeth. but I found that most Mulatto were Indian for back then there was but to races White are Black and Indian fell in to the Black.My George was from OH and his wife Sarah was from KY and they moved to MO where he died in the civli war as a drummer and was young, Sarah died soon after the children were put with family and in other homes, William Miller Ihrig moved his family to Oklahoma in 1899 after the 1900 census they all ways came up White.for they had a bad time being Indian, for they were ran off the land by white men with gun's and no one in my family would talk about are Indian blood again, so when you find them listed as Mulatto, you can all most bet you have Indian blood!
