Hello Anita - I took the Fingerprint cheek swab test.  There is lore of NA ancestors in the Jarrells, Browns, Kinders, Stewarts, Shamblins, Thompsons, and Berrys.  But, who knows?  Rick ________________________________ From: Anita McClung <anitajoe1963@yahoo.com> To: wvlogan@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:34:31 AM Subject: Re: [WVLOGAN] Native American Ancestry Thanks, Rick.  Have you been able to pinpoint that ancestor and what test did you use?

We grew up with the story of Lucinda and for a long time, I dismissed it because everyone has a story in their family of a Native American Ancestor. Recently, I started paying close attention to the pictures of my great Granny and her siblings and realized that yes, there had to have been  Native American in their lineage somewhere. So, that would make up related? Blackburn and Lucinda were my 3rd great grandparents. My line is Eli and Mary Alice, Catherine Elizabeth and Tom Buzzard, Jessie and Aubrey McClung, Norris McClung and Ruth Treadway. What I would like to know is since the story goes that Lucinda was orphaned and raised by Jane Akers Clay, were her parents victims of the Indian removal? Thanks for your reply.

Hi List- More questions for my kin in the Pigeonroost area of Blair:? 1.? Harriet F. "Maw" Ellis Mullins was married to John Randolph Mullins....John Randolph however, died 4 years into the ???? marriage (John was 40 years old and "Maw" was 21 years old when they married), leaving "Maw" a widow at 25 years ??? old.? She had 2 additional children after the death of John Randolph Mullins, one of which was Vadna Mullins (who ??? married George Grimes).? My question is:? I cannot find any evidence of an additional marriage but family rumor has it ??? that "Maw" ran a boarding house and had a couple of children (including Vadna) out of wedlock.? I also have a cousin ??? with a family tree that has "Maw" married to 2 additional husbands: the first being a Ryland Floyd Bias and the second ??? being an Andrew P. Higginbotham.? Anything anyone can tell me (I bet Shelby knows <grin>), would be greatly ??? appreciated.? Thanks C. Robin Crush (ggranddaughter of Emma Mullins McCormick)
