Boy is that true!!! We were told we were kin to Cynthia Ann Parker mother of Quanaha Parker the last comanche chief. We were told she was our so far removed grandmother. We could possibly be unless there is also indian in us LOL. There is not. My husband is suppose to lots of indian in him ---not so far. And my family lore from waaaaay back is that we are kin to Queen bloody Mary (now why would anyone claim that unless it is true LOL) I have not found the proof as of yet. There is a Maitland in our line but so far can't tie it to the Maitlands that surround Mary. The stories that surrounded my maiden name Kornegay were false also. We were told it changed when it came over--so we thought it was scotish and spelled Carnegie. Wrong it came from Germany. And one little 11 year old boy is all that survived in an indian massacre in 1711. I love doing this just wish I had paid more attention in school.
