I’m 1/64th and my ancestor lived in Kentucky.

I just finished reading historian Charles Mann's “1493.” Indians on the east coast were enslaved by European new arrivals but this practice was discarded in favor of Africans. The simple reason was that Africans didn't succumb to many of the European diseases as the Indians did.

Funny....I was just looking through some files I’d scattered about my basement workshop...one page was an old typed funeral eulogy for my great-great grandfather, William Lafayette Weems, died 1922 and born in Cherokee County here in Georgia in 1860.....his parents were the immigrants here in Georgia, I think (not sure - there a lot of ‘Weems’ that go back quite a ways)....I digress....my Cherokee roots are from my father’s side of the family from Clinton SC where his daddy was a sharecropper.....my grandmother (his wife) was 1/4 Cherokee...
