Did you look? Really look? It was predominate and common in the 1600's to 1700's. and later. all Cherokee goes back to Pocahontas or to her sister, Nikkia....and MOYTOY and Quatsie. For example, General Robert E Lee was cousin to General John B Gordon. Both men married their cousins. And that is just one example. After Eleven years of intense study and research. Both men, in fact, all of them, were Powhowtan-Cherokee. They had to build the tribe back up. That is why the Cherokee had multiple partners. The women carry the "x" on the DNA and see Cherokee Clan system Were your ancestors free or on the Indian Reservations?( As in the Trail of Tears. ?) Or a matriarchal Clan Society? It took all of those years for me to find the Gordon-Cherokee connection on paper and written down. MY Elder told me. But I wanted to see it. Source of Reference? The Cherokee Nation Archives. Four hundred years ago there was a Native American Nation here named the Algonquin Nation. Most tribes were destroyed. They were directly related and the same family My grandfather, ROBERT LEE GORDON, married ADA JUANITA HOUSE in Montana. My GORDON linage goes back to Gordonsville ( Winchester ) Virginia..My HOUSE linage goes directly back to Delaware.....Lenni-Lenape All were of the Algonquin Nation. The cherokee seemed to know "what" they were doing.

My great grandfather was "David" Oliver Leavens, buried in Oregon city. The Cherokee "usually always " married "cousins". It is a blood line. Today that Cherokee cousin thing is becoming " general knowledge" John Steel Gordon has searched for years to prove his connection to Pocahontas ooooo.
