My mother is Gena Kay Gewin of Memphis, TN. I'm searching for any history on the Gewin name. She was always told she had an indian background however I am unable to verify. Does anyone have a starting point, or information?

Thanks,
Donna

Donna,
Was your Mother's grandparents Ella Loyce Arendell & Edward Eugene Gewin Sr?
If the answer is yes, I'm your Mother's cousin Carol Ann.
I have been researching our line and have found a lot of our Cherokee ancestors.

I too was told that we descended from the Indian Chief Powhattan Techumseh Gewin, a tribe out of Mississippi. I was young and didn't listen but it was not a tribe I had ever heard of. Gewins are supposedly all kin through him and the surname was "made up" by the white man when he gave Indians a surname.Any info appreciated.
