I would have to argue about her being the meanest woman in the world.? My husband's graqndmother was.? She too had long hair down to her waist.? She was really an Indian.? In the 1930's she got a letter from the Bureau of Indians that she was entitled to land in Oklahoma.? Back then it was not popular to be Native American.? So her children tore the letter up and would not let her answer it.? I learned this from both her daughter and my father in law.? I met her several times and she was mean, mean I mean mean. -----Original Message----- From: David Taylor <[email protected]> To: pate <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Jul 14, 2010 10:28 am Subject: Re: [PATE] Native American Ancestor designation on US Censuses My gg-grandmother, Tebitha Jane Pate, was full-blood Cherokee.
