When referenced in the native tribes it may mean 1/4 indian and the rest other, because during a certain period of history all dark skinned people were considered BLACK by many in U.S. DRAGOON was a unit in the military (as far as I know). are you sure it was DRAGOON you meant to write? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bettye Woodhull" <betron1@sbcglobal.net> To: <CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 4:01 PM Subject: Fw: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] Catherine McCoy-Miller-Gann > Izzie, this is the way this message appeared on CherokeeGene-L URL site > Bettye > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "izzie" <izzie@sstelco.com> > To: <CherokeeGene-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 5:25 AM > Subject: [CherokeeGeneCommunity] Catherine McCoy-Miller-Gann > > >> Anyone: >> I have been looking at the 1835 roll or census record of the Cherokees >> today and found some startling information.
