Jen,
This may be a real clue to Nannie's ancestry. What do you know about Nathaniel's
activities in Polk Co., GA? What is your grandmother's name? Do you know her
siblings' names? When was Nathaniel born?
I realize that many families believe vaguely that they share Native American heritage but,
in this case at least, my husband's family states it matter-of-factly and points to a
specific individual. Don't know which tribe -- they thought maybe Cherokee but that
could be an assumption based on the fact of their proximity in Texas to Cherokee lands in
Oklahoma.
My husband shared an additional comment his mother made while he was growing up, which is
that the family didn't know anything about how or when S.L. met and married her.
