By the time we begin seeing any records it is quite often we see angelicized names. Often because the whites couldn't pronounce the name or speak the language so they 'stuck' one one them. But by the time of 1750 to the Removal the intermingling of the two races became quite common. In the applications and claims we, quite often, see quite a few mixed bloods. It is sometimes said that by the time of the Removal that the majority of the 'full bloods' had already removed west. Return Jonathan Meigs wrote in 1800 that apx 50% of those remaining east were Mixed Bloods....although some disagreed with that figure. Regardless the progression of Treaties that shrank the holdings of the Cherokee Nation saw a whole new crop of mixed bloods along the treaty lines. Joyce Gaston Reece "Full Blood" One of the most used terms in genealogy research. Next to the Cherokee Princess. Might I suggest a question to those who are well experienced in this. Once a person is dubbed an English or non NA names, could we not figure they are not full blood by this time?
