Hello,
I am looking for information about William Presley Self (I am his 8th great grand daughter). I am trying to clear up some information on Ancestry. Several people are claiming that he was Native American. He was born around about 1732 and died about 1812 in Bledsoe, TN. Several people are claiming he was married to Cathern “Rising Fawn Fox” Small Pox Conjuror.

I am a descendant of William P. Self on my fathers side. He was not Native American but he was married to Catherine”Rising Fawn Fox” Small Pox Conjuror Moytoy. She is my gggg grandmother and was Native American.
I’m the 7th Great Grandson of William P Self. I was trying to find anything on Catherine”Rising Fawn Fox” Small Pox Conjuror Moytoy in the records and haven’t really found anything concrete. (I’m not great at researching though) I would love to find some more info though.
William Presley Self to Catherine Rising Fawn Moytoy. Are my 4th great-grandparents also. My ancestors were mostly from Virginia. The Self line married into the Shifflett, Lamb and Samuels. Most lived and are buried in what is now the Upper Pocacan Mt in the Shenandoah National Park. Melisssa Lamb married my g-grandfather Mesheck Samuels. They are buried in the Park. There was a picture at one time maybe 50 years ago that showed Melissa the gg-granddaughter of Catherine Riding Fawn Moytoy Self in a war bonnet passed down to her. The picture has been lost. I do have a picture of Melissa and she looks very much Indian. He mother was Catherine Shifflett named after Catherine Rising Fawn Self. Would appreciate any information on this Moytoy/ Self line especially in Virginia.
