OK---- You all maybe pieces to a puzzle I pray you are.
My 3rd great grandfather was born about 1796 or 8 in Millport,Chemung, New York. He was a full blood Indian. I just heard that he was to be Cherokee. He lived with a white family by the name of Bennitt/ett. His name was Harry Bennitt/ett.
Can someone please help me with this mystery? I would like to know what went on. And like to find family.
Was he from the Hurd family? or Youmans?? Were ether of these families Cherokee??
Please reply. I do have his picture and "he is" Indian.
Thank you
Linda
