A few months back, I was told that Native American came into the family thru marriage. My line is Orange County North Carolina. Older family members are ashamed of an amazing Cherokee lady which chose to marry out of her tribe. Having no idea of her name, no one wil tel if they know personally I am proud to be part of that amazing lady.  God Bless Sue Dodson Orange County. N.C.
