If you don't know who Princess Nicketti is, she was the daughter of Chief Opencancanough and Princess Cleopatra and she married Trader Hughes. Sound familiar? Her story was passed by from generation to generation and families will swear that their Indian nose or black hair is surely all the proof required to show their Indian ancestry. the problem with both ancestries are identical, there is no proof of either. My question to this board is this: 1. Who is the father of Charles Dodson? The answer cannot be found on ancestry.com or in a family history book, someones CD that is all yours for $20.00 or any internet site, even this message board. The answer must come from a piece of paper from his time. A legal document which shows a relationship between Charles and his father. This piece of paper does not exist! If you are unable to document your relationship to Charles' father, which you cannot, the rest of this stuff is inconsequential. Eagle Plume/Nicketti it's all made up stuff and fluff. Family lore is one thing, but it has no business on a genealogy website. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
