However, she descended from the Mississippi Choctaws. Some of her relatives mixed with Blacks. She was not Cherokee at all, but married to my Cherokee GG-Grandfather, Lewis A. Mulkey. She has been reputed to being either 2/3 Choctaw or a full blood Choctaw. However, she did not apply for the Choctaw Rolls and she was denied on the Cherokee Rolls as an inter-married White because she was Choctaw. > > P.S. My husband just sent in his DNA packet yesterday to be tested for N/A DNA. He is loosely tied to Pretty Boy Floyd, who was rumored to be either Cherokee or Choctaw. He can trace none of his family to the Dawes. Most of the family settled in western Arkansas before the Removal. Results will be back in 6 weeks. > > Jerri > ~Direct Cherokee Mulkey Descendent > > > --------------------------------- > Brings words and photos together (easily) with > PhotoMail - it's free and works with Yahoo!
