Surnames: Norris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5R.2ADI/1129 Message Board Post: He was born in 1924 in Scottsboro, Jackson Co., Alabama. He was Native American, and French. He was from the Koasati (Coushatta) Creek tribe and his father's name was Riley Benjamin Norris. If anyone knows anything about this family please let know. Even if they have something that they could tack onto it I would be greatly appreciative. I don't know anything more than my grandfather's name. Beyond that I am not sure, but they were on the Trail of Tears. That I am sure of.
