The indian blood everyone thinks came from Mary Barnes didn't.Mary's father is Chesley Barnes and her mother is Mary Polly Means.On the marriage license they listed William as Wm Wray.They were married on February 29, 1816 in Rockingham Co. N.C., witness: J.H. Scales Bond # 000121444 I had always heard we got indian blood from Mary Barnes, too.But I have also heard that Miriah Killough's mother Mary Ann Pruner was indian.But that's probably false too.I have a copy of the Cherokee Blood Application , Tennessee Smith, Orlena Tennessee Rhea Smith, filed it and it was denied.The application doesn't say who the idian blood was suppose to be through.I have a lot more info on the Barnes family.If you're interested my e-mail is [email protected]
