Marion, I will try again. My name is Lois Conn. I do not know why it came out like it did before. Yes, there is indian blood in the family. James Hill married Mary Cope. Mary Cope's parents were John Cope and Straight Path Na Wish-R-Bai of Cherokee nation. This was not mention in my family but I found it on a disk at the Family History Center of the Mormon Church. I have not prove this yet but keep trying to prove it. It is interesting that your mother said you had indian blood in you and I almost think that there is a connection somewhere. Lois
