My Great Great Grandmother on my mother's side was 1/2 Native American.  My Grandpa told me that she was a Fowler but he was not for sure.  She was married to Marion Isaac Elrod and their daughter Lulie was born in 1889. 

I was wondering if anyone had any luck finding out info on their Native American kinfolks.

Thanks.

Angela,  I will see what I can find on your gg ma.  Native American information is difficult to find sometimes.
Here a couple of sites that might help you.  There are others, but I will have to track them down.

It would really be neat to have a Native American DNA project for DeKalb Co AL.  I suspect there are more Native Americans in north Alabama than people realize.
Be back soon.

There are many stories about native american bloodlines on the Troxtel side of the family. This is all oral history and the accuracy can not be verrified . Near valley head are some old caves " Sequoya caverns?) I have not been and not seen. Evidently the story i was told is that durring the " trail of tears" Not all cherokee left. Many hid out in the hills of the surrounding areas. It was either the troxtel side where one day a single Mr troxtel went out on a donky into the woods and brought back a 13 year old cherokee girl. Together they had about fifteen kids together. I would have to talk to Ozell Whitted or Ronald Ellis . They Know the stories. But in my blood like most of the females were full blooded if not half blooded Cherokee. It would be interesting to see . I believe even the whitted side of the family boast Cherokee indian blood line.

Angela, my mother was a Fowler. Her name is Flora Fowler Driskill. Her ancestors are originally from North Carolina. They moved from North Carolina to Dawson Co, Ga. They moved from Dawson County to Jackson County, Ala. 1800-1885. After my g-grandfather, Samuel Milton Fowler, died they moved to Dekalb County. Do you think there could be a connection between my ancestors and yours? Several members of our family have heard that we have Native American blood way back, but I don't have anything to base that on.
I will look forward to hearing from you.

Angela, my Fowler ancestors moved from Dawson County, Ga. 1880-1885. In earlier post, I said 1800-1885.

Our Fowlers could very well be kinfolk.  I still haven't come up with much.  My G-g-grandmother was Mary Jane Fowler born abt 1878 in Hall, GA, who married Marion Isaac Elrod.  Well, we will keep digging!
