Actually I’ve found some of them listed as Choctaw as well but when I asked my grandma what kind of NA (yes, I said kind) she told me “the bad kind”. My first thought was the Souix. Or Apache as the movies always portrayed them as scary. I stopped researching the Cherokee (Thompson) when I got a email that was upset with me when I said that there was some violent people. My people in the old days had some “bad people” to survive out here in East Texas when Mexico owned us. It was a scalding email. He was from the Rusk Co, TX NA. Rusk Co and Angelina Co were a part of the Nacogdoches Territory in which my Thomas Crawford and two other commissioners divided several counties from. There were my family lines in Nacogdoches and I wrote one who denied my Thomas’ relationship. I suspect a lot of these settlers were NA who were apart of those who left the Carolinas. My Zed Weeks/Robert/Levi K were from VA/NC/CA, so to me that indicated something, Also, keep in mind East Texas was inhabited by the Cherokee and Caddo tribes as it was part of the treaty with the Cherokee Chief who had fought with the men against the Mexicans. By the way, two Harris brother had ships and Santa Anna and his men were established in the area between Beaumont and Houston at a farm or plantation after the war when it’s owner asked Houston to do something with them. They were eating them out of house of home. The two Harris men sailed with these men back to Mexico and they never got PAID. My Harris was born in Texas so he was in Mexico early. There were three William Harris in the Revolution. There are at least two Reynolds family here as well. One was Oliver Perry Reynolds. If you’d send me the names I will look on ancestry and check with my distant cousin, Della, who shares her site with me and I share mind. There is one other and I plan to check out the George issue. I was sent an email that my Mary Barley was a Walling. There were lots in Nacogdoches and they, too, were NA. Guess I should take the ydna to see if there’s any NA in my veins. I know there was a Chinese listed in SMOG or something.

I have a strange question. My mom and her sister had negative blood which as we know is rarer than positive and I’ve wondered if this factors comes from a particular nationality or is it something that is just worldwide? This negative issue applies difficulties in many ways with childbirth. My aunt lost two boys before she had her two girls and then no more children. My mom had trouble having me and our family line have twins, lots of them. This has got to be a genetic connection.
