This is facinating as I also have Indian heritage on Mom's side. Her father was obvious Indian & I was always told his mom was half Indian. That is not true but the more I did the more I believe both Thomas Allen born in 1841 in North Carolina was of Indian heritage through his father. Then Thomas married a the daughter of Millard R.Draughon born in 1851 in Lousiana I believe there is Indian heritage in that line also as there are things that don't add up & I can't find. I have been working on this side of my family for several years. But the Black Dutch is on Mom's mother's side of the family & I haven't done much on that line. I just know Grandma always said she was Black Dutch. By the way this is the most active this site has been for a while. I am excited. By the way if anybody recognizes either of the names in my lineage please contact me at deanntidwell@hotmail.com. Thanks, Deann
