Richard, Scots and Scots-Irish were all over the early American Colonies... having been among the first colonial settlers that immigrated from England ... many may have been indentured servants or just individual families seeking religious freedom, those that broke ties with England; many were among the first families that left the eastern shore colonies and began the western and southeastern migrations into the new territories, particularly to GA and AL. In tracing your great-grandmother's lineage, you will have quite a challenge, but beginning I think with her "maiden" name.... which may or may not tell you very much, since she may not have used the name of her father, but consider the surnames of families in the community where she lived. Early church records or names of churches established in her community might offer strong clues.

Hey, I am new to this web site. I think I am part white - Scottish to be exact - but I can't prove it. The census records only give the race of my Creek ancestors. The others have blank spaces for race. There is a story in my family that my great-grandmother Janie Mae had some Scottish blood. She never would talk about it though. Folks would ask her if she was part Scottish. She would only say, "I don't want to talk about it. The English treated my ancestors like dirt back in Scotland."

Richard T., I am part white, some of my ancestors called themselves Reagans.... I know that is a white name and most had red hair and blue eyes , that is definitely a white trait? My ggrandmother I do not think a princess, but my cuzn was. My cuzn was Cherokee Princess in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. I guess that is an honor, I do not know what a person does to become one... very pretty she was/is.
