I believe my gggrandfather was named John and he had a son John and other children were Hallie, Houston, Tull, German, Alie Mae, and Thomas H who was my great grandfather who were from Waxahachie, Ellis Co., TX. Thomas was married and lived in Giles Co., TN. Also, my father told me several times that we have Cherokee blood in our lineage and we do have the cheekbones which denotes Indian heritage. Just curious, does any of this sound familiar?
