The only true connection between an American Indian and a Smart relative that I know of is summarized here: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Smart/quanah.htm I posted this information as much to discourage erroneous speculation, as to document the true relationship. Although Quanna Parker was Comanche, I believe there a close relationship between these two tribes? Hope this helps. Randy C.
