The first thing you need to know is where this family lived and the best way is through census records.

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">There seems to be several folks on this list who are very knowledgeable about Indian ancestry/history. My family verbal history claims that my 3rd gr-grandmother was a Native American named Chloe Bell. Conjecture has been that Chloe Bell was her "white man's" name. My gr-gr-grandfather was born in "eastern Tennessee" in 1808. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to research this question back to the late 1700's?</font></div>
