Does anyone know how to trace possible Native American ancestry in the Carolinas area early 1800s with the surename Cone?I got curious when I found two generations of mulatto families in Thomasville Georgia everyone in the house is listed as mulatto but later census black. Johnnie Hill - Birth 1889 - location , Thomasville THOMAS County Georgia. John L Hilts (Hill) & Nettie Cone are his parents- Thomasville Georgia Nettie Cone (race: Mulatto) born 1867 in Georgia both are her parent are from South Carolina. Lizzie Cone (race: mulatto) born 1838 in South Carolina.Lizzie is the mother of Nettie - Lettie - Bettie Ephrim Cone (race: mulatto) born 1835 in South Carolina. He is the father of Nettie. Ephrim mother is is Tabitha (Tabby)Cone she is in one record born in South Carolina and in another record born in North Carolina in 1810. Tabby is mulatto and then black . Does anyone know of any European surnames in the Carolinas ascosiated with American Indian groups Like the Lumbee, Catawba,Saponi, and Cherokee. I had a genetic report done called Prometheus and it stated that I had rate gene associated with Native American Myopathy. Is the cone surname related to any Indian groups in the Carolinas. I found a person on geneweb with a similar plight , their Cone family are all mulatto from the Carolinas also but they had rumors of Cherokee heritage but the person said they personally thought they were Hawali Saponi instead
