Jo, If you have not done so, go to the Web Site listed below and read some of the articles. The articles talk about the mixture of White men with Indians. Some of the articles talk about my 5th Great Grandfather (Marmaduke Elks) and my 4th Great Grandfather (Samuel Elks) and their interaction with the Croatan Indians. Fred Willard and his group has done a fantastic job researching this information. They are on the verge of re-writing the history of the Lost Colony. Based on their research, it seems as if there is Indian Blood in my Elks heritage... _http://www.lost-colony.com/_ (http://www.lost-colony.com/) My Great Grandfather (John Angel) is reputed to be full-blooded Cherokee Indian, but we haven't been able to document as of yet.
