I have some Shockey's who are indians, but the blood comes from there mother is a West. Louisa Married George Shockey which makes there kids Part Indian as far as i can tell they were all marked as white in the census. They did apply for there indian rights through the choctaw tribe. i have copies of there original indian papers. it took them years to be accepted into the tribe. they were denied then accepted. Louisa was an aunt so i have not dug very far into the research of the Shockey family, but if anyone recongnized the name Louisa West and George Shockey contact me and we can share info.
