Ohio. My Grandmother told me we were Indian many moons ago. Since about 1997, I have worked extremely hard to prove it. We are a dark complicted, dark haired family, with high cheekbones, and dark brown eyes. I have found thru other family genealogists that it was said that grandfathers grandmother was Cherokee, and I have even found her name in the "Old Cherokee Families" book, but no dates to verify. My line is a little confusing, because the dates do not look correct. But in my searching I have found that I have NA blood on all four sides of my family, with about 5-6 tribes interwoven, and now I want to send my family tree to North Carolina, or to Oklahoma, as this is getting better and better all the time. My line (providing this is an uh-oh in the dates given me) would be as follows: Thomas Gilpin, from Ireland, 1790, marr Nancy Mullen no dates (may have come from Ireland herself) Henry Grant Gilpin 1824/1828 marr Harriet Matilda Waldron, 1831, May have been born in Va.(Shawnee/Cherokee) George Hathaway Gilpin, 1853-1919 marr Sally M. Thompson Bradney, 1854 Calvin Clay Gilpin, 1886-1930, marr Laura Elenore Ivers, marr 20, 1897 (My Grandparents)
