All indications are that they were "white".
Census records of MO, and death certificates give this as their ethnic background.
However, this is not to say Native American did not come in to play somewhere-folks "back in the day" did not always tell it--depending on climate of the times.
If you are unaware of it, you can go here and find death certificates for Herbert-1951 and Mary Ann-1951;Herbert's mother Loretta Curry Birdsong-1936,and his father Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Birdsong in 1921.
