Thanks so much for your input - I've come across some info before on the Saponi - Guy family ties. I tried to go to the web site you mentioned in your posting but I couldn't - please advise. It seems that there was a settlement of Guys that were listed as Catawbas in Macon, NC. Check out http://www/hogbuster.com for this info. Some of the descendents seem to think that we are not Saponi, but we are Catawba - at any rate, there is no denying the fact that my familty and myself are NOT euro-american only.... This web site links the saponi ties and Catawba documents by making the lingusitic connection - they both spoke siouian. The supposition is that the people they connected with overtime confused them as Catawbas because Catawbas were the closest with the same language, etc.... They have the 1872 Senate document that lists my g-gm and her father, Buck Guy.
Please don't hesitate to share any further info you have....
Your cousin -
John
