Hi,
I am replying to your message because I am beginning to research my maternal ancestry. I dont know that much but your story sounds a little like what I have heard. I do know that my great-great grandfather was half native american and half white. I have forgotten his first name, but I know his last name was Paylor. His daughter, Bertha Paylor, became my great grandmother. I do know that I have a great uncle named Lloyd Dixon (Bertha married a Dixon). So maybe he was named after his "grandfather", maybe Lloyd Paylor.
