Hello to all the wonderful people trying to sew a quilt of many patches (ancestors) to cover a proud Nation with many colors (nationalities). Knowing the blood of our ancestors makes for a strong family. I am trying to locate information on possible Native American heritage. My grandmother and great grandmother had customs that may have been passed down to hide their Native American background which was rumored but never proven. My grandparents were very intent on never letting the sun brown them and would wear long sleeves, bonnets, etc., on the hottest summer days in Northern Alabama. My grandmother had olive skin and facial features of Native Americans. Query: Can anyone give me any info on the Cherokee Tribe that lived at the "Peaks of Otter" in Bedford Co. VA in the late 1700's or early 1800's? One branch of my ancestors were French Huguenots and arrived in Virginia in the 1600s and migrated to North Carolina, Wayne County, KY and then to Lawrence/Cullman Counties, AL. My Ancestors are as follows: 1.. Abraham Des Moulin (senior) and Madelaine Chupret Bobt (French Huguenots) Father and mother of: 2..
