Coz, Reba, in her words, "compiled" her book, "The Youngblood Family" recording mostly demographic information (names, marriages, births, deaths); there are a limited number of actual records or letters. I found only the following references to Indian heritage. (I include more information rather than less in case you wish to pursue these surnames to find yet more information. Y is Youngblood.) In a letter to Mrs. Eugenia CLARK OLIVER (d/o Lucy Ann Y LAMPTON) from Mary LAMPTON REID dated 8 Apr 1936. "If it is not asking too much I should like to read the letter written by a BRUMFIELD descendant telling some Indian stories, the same as had been told us concerning the 'Granny Manning,' Susanna Youngblood and Elsie WOODRUFF....A granddaughter of Elsie WOODRUFF, Mrs. W. A. DANIELS, lives here (Magnolia, MS), and may possibly give some additional information. This Elsie WOODRUFF who married a COLLINS was a great friend of my grandmother LAMPTON." In a letter from Mrs. Susie BRUMFIELD WARING (gr d/o Hanna Ann Y) to Mrs. OLIVER, dated 28 Jan 1936. " ... but some things I do remember was what Grandmother (reference to Hanna Ann Y) used to tell us about their troubles with the Indians. Yes, she told us about some Indians." (She continues to relate incidents with Indians, but nothing that would indicate a relation.) That is all. I can tell you that for many years, I have heard that our YOUNGBLOOD family has some Indian heritage. However, after looking over the many records, I just don't see it. I did have an interesting experience recently while on a genealogy expedition in MS. My cousin and I stopped in an area near Pulaski and struck up a conversation with the men picking peas. Told them we were looking for ancestor connections in the area and mentioned Youngbloods (among others). "Oh," one said, "you looking for the Indian families?" Surprised me! I had not expected that. So, It seems to be common knowledge (even outside the family and in the community) that Youngbloods are somehow connected with Indian heritage. However, I haven't found any in this Y lineage. Regards, Joyce Zachman, Sugar Land, TX BTW There is no mention in this Y lineage of Youngblood shortened to Young.
