    3. Hi folks new here so if I blow it please let me know! In my MARYFIELD line reference is made of a "Indian Sam" MARYFIELD b. abt 1747 Winchester Va. He was son to a Samuel MARYFIELD b. 1720 England. "Indian Sam" is shown to have married "Floating Flower In the Brook" as a 1st wife. My research {mostly done by a fellow researcher} says she was of the Twigtwee tribe. Also says possibility of Algonquin. She is said to have spoken Pyankenshaw {?} which "Indian Sam" understood. My ggrandmother Missouri victoria MERRIFIELD b. 1865 Mo and her sisters show to be very strong Indian featured in photos I have obtained. An inscription on my ggrandmother's tombstone reads; An Indian lady. I have tore Dawes Rolls up but no MERRIFIELD appear there! Closest name would be MAYFIELD but can find no given name that would match so at this point I would just like to be able to halfway prove my Indian heritage! Can someone point me in direction to look as it appears my N.A. ancestry is quite a ways back? Almost forgot my friend says this would possibly be our Miami {?} tribe today? Thx ever so much, Peter in Tulsa
