Hi,
We have uncovered info. that several of our allied families are of mixed race.
JABEZ STEPHEN ELLIS was b. 1830 Saratoga, New York. His mother, SARAH, was b. England 1790 and was kidnapped during an Indian raid. She had Jabez and sister ANN ELLIS TOMLINSON in 1828.
The family is next found in Grant, Wisconsin in 1850. I suspect they were of Oneida heritage, and may have relocated with others from the tribe in Wisconsin. Ann and her brother returned to New York throughout the years to visit family.
These families are all related to Ellis and may also be of mixed race: Mathews, Carter, Turner, Palmer, Tomlinson.
Does anyone have any of these?
Thanks
Julie S.

Surnames: Carter
My great great great great Grandfather's name was Williamson Carter, and apparently his grandaughter, my great great grandmother, said that there was American Indian blood in her family, and while apparently the rest of the family disagreed, since I have been unable to find anything about Williamson Carter's parents, I am wondering if she was correct and he was part Native American.

He was born in 1808 in Tennessee, though, and that doesn't really seem to fit. Do you think he might be part of that Carter family?
