Hi Cyn! Please accept my apology for taking so long to get back to you...summer has kept us busy! This may show up as being from Martha...she's my sister. I am Ida, you wrote to me regarding Nancy Beavers. You said your Nancy was possibly from Indiana and was Native American. I have not run across any Beavers in Indiana that are our kin...of course considering the proximity to Illinois, and particularly Hardin Co., there is always the possibility. If she was Native American I would doubt kinship, as all the Beavers in our family are quite obvious Scots-Irish...white skin with freckles and the occasional red head. (How I wish some of my direct line of ancestors had added a little of that nice brown skin to our gene pool!) If you find more info regarding your Nancy that might tie her into to Virginia/Illinois Beavers, please let me know. Thanks! Ida tanakahi@earthlink.net
