My mother's father, Philip Theames Proper (1893-1961), was born in either Gallatin or Taghkanic, Columbia County, NY.He is buried nearby in a family plot at Linlithgo Cemetery.His father was Benjamin Myer Proper (1853-1918). His grandfather was Philip William Proper (1824-1902). His greatgrand father was John Peter Proper (1785-1867).I believe this family is descended from Johann Jost Proppert who settled in New York state about 1709, he came from the German Palitinate.I believe the Proper family were tenants on the Livingston family's vast land holdings in Columbia County.There was never any family reference to an Indian background.
