Cherokee in VIRGINIA/MARYLAND in 1867/68?
Hi, I am looking for the man who might have fathered my great grandfather James William Lynn Sr. James was born 1868 to Rebecca V. Lynn in Lovettsville, VA.
Rebecca V. and family were white and German. My brother, father, grand father and great grandfather were of Native American decent by looking at them. Black straight hair, brown eyes, dark reddish complexion, prominent nose.
I am trying to find out if there were any Native Americans/Cherokee in the Lovettsville, VA or Frederick, MD area in 1867 or '68. There is rumor that there was but I have no proof. Even if I do not find the name of my great, great grandfather, I need to know this was possible.
Please let me know if you know anything about this area, even if it might not be anything that pertains to my family.
