I am searching for information on my paternal grandmother's parents roots in Kentucky as follows:
Henry Lightfoot
b. Oct. 9, 1868, Kentucky
d. Sometime before the 1900 census in Illinois
m. October 9, 1884, place unknown
Francis Elizabeth ("Bettie") Hancock
b. March 17, 1863, Kentucky
d. November 16, 1909, Kentucky (after remarriage to James K. Emmett on June 18, 1903)
According to family lore, Henry Lightfoot was variously said to be of "Indian blood" and to be an "Indian", and that Bettie Hancock may also have been part-Indian. Henry and Bettie moved to Illinois had three surviving children, of which one was my grandmother Lella Oma Lightfoot Hansen. My grandmother and her older sister, Flora Bud Lightfoot Collins, moved to the San Francisco Bay area sometime around 1905.
