My Uncle Perry has a picture of my great, great-grandmother with her sister in full Cherokee dress (my paternal grandfather's grandmother). This is the first proof we've had, though we knew there must be a connection. The granddaughter of the sister had a picture and contacted my uncle through church. They all knew about us, though we didn't know about anyone else. My grandfather's parents died when he was quite young.
My mom has said that her mother's grandmother was also full-blooded Indian. I do not know the connection, yet, but hope to discover more. I have a strong feeling that there are Indian connections on the Gilliland side, too.
