My dad always told me his Granny my g.grandmother was Native American. Over the years I got bits of the story.

Her mother did washing and cooking for miners along with some Native women mostly Choctaw. She got pregnant out of wedlock...which was definitely not okay in those days. She was put out by her family and the Native ladies took her and her daughter in. They considered themselves family. Not a drop if Native blood but close enough to those women that my g.grandmother named her daughter after one of them.
