Am I Cherokee November 3, 2015 by Mpyatte 1 Comment My grandfather was Newell Conley Pyatte and I was told he was full blooded Cherokee Indian. Would love to know if that’s true.
jsmith says November 3, 2015 at 8:53 pm He was not a full blood Cherokee, nor is there evidence that he was of any Cherokee ancestry. His grave is here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=54307519&ref=acom All of his lines are extremely well-traced. You can click on the links for parentage and go back quite a ways. They appear to all be from rather standard European colonial roots. Log in to Reply
