I've always maintained that I'm Native American too. My 10th Great Grandfather was founder of Salem, Massachusetts, and the first English Governor of Massachusetts, John Endicott.

On the other hand, I have 1/16th Native American blood from an indiginenous native on my mothers line. . . through another ancestor, through which I am related also to Christopher "Kit" Carson. (My father's middle name was Carson because of that relationship.)

Forgot to mention, my Mother and Father were second cousins. . . so it's actually through both.

My ancestors never founded a damned thing.
They went and sold guns and liquor to the indians.
Because they were buying.

I was certain that you were also a distant cousin to Johnny Appleseed. ;)

“My 10th Great Grandfather was founder of Salem, Massachusetts, and the first English Governor of Massachusetts, John Endicott.”

Wow our ancestors were almost neighbors, and big shots too.

Mine was Theophilus Eaton, Governor of New Haven Colony, Connecticut, and was first President and shareholder of the Massachusetts Bay Company, the corporation which aided in the transport and settlement.

He was also a law giver, and here is an example.

Not surprising our colonists desired religious freedom, after the early days of religious tyranny.
