Our info went back to James, 1679, but this one goes two gens before that to Edward, 1636.

Ann Coulter made a guest appearance on The View to promote her latest book Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole. Since Coulter has built an entire career on the shock value of her political opinions, it is not surprising that this interview was filled with controversial statements about immigrants, and a questionable presentation of United States history.
A couple minutes into the interview, host Ana Navarro challenged Coulter’s views about immigrants by asking if her family immigrated to America. Coulter responded to Navarro’s question by stating that she is actually a Native American because she descended from the early settlers who founded the United States.

I don’t know of any African ancestors but I’d honor them just the same. I do have a second cousin who died of sickle cell anemia, blond hair and blue eyes. It must go back a long way.
Tony Soprano always talking about “the Jackson Whites” at Ramapo
11th generation here... 1637, also to Plymouth Colony ...also 2nd generation through Ellis Island on the other side of the family. All these ancestors were (or quickly became) Americans.
Like you, Ann, and others here I don't think we need to bow, genuflect, or apologize to the current gods of Political Correctness for being Americans - real ones, not the ones these PC buffoons have constructed in their Liberal sociology classes and their own minds.
Ann’s messing with the View idiots - running circles around them... good for Ann.
It is hard to know.
Ancestry .com is pretty good, but census records are always comprehensive going back beyond the Civil War, especially in Eastern Tennessee/NC, Virginia panhandle and environs etc...
I read the linked article and to give the author credit, she understood what Coulter was doing.

Yep, and surname Hicks just pops up out of nowhere in those same areas. That has got to be the most frustrating surname to try to research. I gave up, lol. They grew out of the ground for all I could tell.
I’m a native Freeper.
“Tony Soprano always talking about “he Jackson Whites” at Ramapo”
Yeah. That sort of thing.
Jacks and whites.
Hicks comes up for me too, but I cannot pin that down for sure.
I always check off Native American, because I am as much a native as anyone else born here of my age.
Had some luck with David Hix from the New Bern area of NC, managed to find “my” John Hicks through him. He was orphaned in an indian attack and bound out to Capt. Benjamin Merrill.
Good one!
We have ancestors we can find no trace of. We decided they came from Mars! Very frustrating. I read the family changed the spelling but we have no proof of anything about that. What I find very interesting is my dad’s ancestors moved around the SE with my mom’s ancestors long before they got married. I got interested in a person who married a sibling of my ancestor. I started tracing her back and went to 406 and King Clovis the Riparian or something like that. It went further back but that was far enough. I do not know any descendants of that branch. Genealogy is an interesting hobby.
I think it’s safe to say Coulter was tweaking Navarro ... and Eliz. Warren.
People from the same settlements often removed together and often intermarried. If you see a group of surnames that are familiar from one place to the nextt, it’s worth looking into.
Native Capitalists?
It’s my definition and that is all that counts. :)
Our families settled at World’s End, just outside Church Creek south of Cambridge, MD. Of course there were no towns then, only swamp and mosquitoes, just like now. By the 1700s there were more people living there than today.
Some of the Parks lived on the James river. Others settled on Smith Island in the 1700s. Both of my grandfathers married German immigrant women.
