The
Richmond Family Story of Cherokee Blood
Every
family has the story. You have probably heard it as well. All
my life my father had been saying that he had Indian blood. This of
course meant that I would have Indian blood also. I can't prove it in
any way right now. I suppose one day I will have a DNA test to
find out. For now, here is what I have.
-
Dad
heard family stories of it.
-
Dad's
aunt Rosie had it written in her notes that the Richmond's were descendant
from Cherokee Indians.
-
From
the book The Richmonds of Trimble County found at Trimble
County Public Library, Wayne L. Richmond writes that James Henry
Richmond is one-half Irish and one-half Cherokee Indian.
-
Also
from the book The Richmonds of Trimble County, Sarah (Sally)
Rowlett Richmond, wife of James, was Cherokee Indian. He states this
is unconfirmed.
James
Richmond is my 5great grandfather. So if he is was one-half Cherokee
Indian that would make me 1/256th Cherokee Indian.
Sarah
Rowlett is my 5great grandmother. So if she is all Cherokee Indian that
would make me 1/128th Cherokee Indian.
If
you add 1/256 and 1/128, that would make me 3/256th or 1.17% Cherokee.
This of course is if the stories are true. I don't know.
