I was told: My Grandfather had told us we had "Blackfoot" indian
blood. I done some checking and was confused that the "Blackfeet" were
in the NW area, and my Grandfathers family was from the TN area. I was happy to
find an article on the Sissapaha that were known as "Blackfoot" in
that area. I wrote a letter in 1997 to a relative up north-that I still have
never met, and she confirmed the Blackfoot family history. I contacted another
distant relative in Mitchell, IN, and she too confirmed that same story. I also
talked with a man who had been born out of wedlock to my Grandfathers brother
and he claims that it is the 'Blackfeet' out west through my Grandfather
"Austin's' side. I have 4 different sources that all have the common
Blackfoot history.
