Hello! I am afraid I really don't know much about the Ekiss family other than Cunningham, who married Sarah Elizabeth Suzanne Jane Foster, daughter of Lovey McCollum and James Foster (Sarah was named after her mother's four girl friends). As far as I know, there was no native american blood there; however, Lovey's brother Enos Francis McCollum (my grandmother's grandfather) did marry a half Indian named Anna Vinzant, so THOSE descendants have native american blood. We do not know which tribe Anna's mother Louisa King belonged to as she was not enrolled in any tribal rolls that we can find. Sorry I can't be of more help!
