My father was Allen Newby b Spring City Tennessee b March 1921 died May 11 1979 Tulsa Oklahoma.His mother was Flora Mae Perry 10/31/1890 she died in 1967.Her mother was Mailssa Elizabeth Smith father Andrew Jackson Perry. Which I don't know where he got that name unless it was to hide the fact they had Native American Indian in them.During the Removal of the Indians ,people did everything possible to hide the fact that they were Indian.My question is this I would like to find out if anyone knows who Malissa Elizabeth Smith father was .I believe that she also was Indian,I have seen a picture of her and by her features and clothing I believe she was..Can anyone help me out with the name of her parents Thank you Flora Newby
