Hello Kyara.I was reading your messages and I am related-I think to you.I am one of the "Black" direct descendants of John Crayton (my great great great grandfather).His son Jim Crayton was my great great grandfather.Jim had 18 children, my great grandmother was Rhoda Crayton (Nichols-her married name).There are still living relatives today.My great uncle Lewis Nichols (94) and my great aunt Katherine Wilson (88) are still around.Our family story was passed to me and my brother Adrian (he's here with me now) from them.Our grandmother is the baby of the family.She carried the name Jane Elizabeth Nichols.Some call her Baby Jane.All of them are what you all have previously referred to as "mixed up looking" people.I'd be happy to talk with you about your family.There is a Crayton family reunion this year in July (I think).I believe it's in San Marcos, TX.Feel free to email me at [email protected] look forward to hearing from you.
