Who is the Draper-Ingles female child Keely was talking about that is in her lines, or
is this another Blue Jacket/Swearingen myth?
If she is Shawnee-Chippewa and certain of her family/genealogy,
why is she looking for light skinned Ingles females in her lines?
Could it be that her associates question her "Indian" lineage because as they say,
"She looks a little Indian", or because they called the family she says she is part of...
and they don't know her as family? Her acquaintances say she is a genealogist,
in her mind.
Any genealogy queries she has posted must be taken with a bit of wonder, because she can
easily post and say, "It's not me I'm doing the research for, but my husband, the Salina
Sherriff's office, etc."
If she is so sure of her genealogy, why not post it?
And, as she says in the genealogy forums, pay for Walter Renz's MtDNA test since she offered.
That should clear things up for his mothers, mothers, mother.

Hello,
I am not a Draper, I am not a Ingles, I am a Shawnee Indian woman who has been raised with the traditional stories of our people.
In May, 1959, my grandfather was speaking of our family, he was dying, my aunt handed my mother pen and paper to have her write down what he was saying. He told the story of Drapers Meadow, said it happened so long ago, no one really remembers when, that a white female infant was taken into our family, he mentioned the names of Sopronia, Nancy, and Oua-Qua-Tha but we do not know if he is speaking of that child. When children were born into our family, who were of lighter skin, he said they were a "thowback" to the white of long ago.
I do not know if DNA can be done due to the fact that the child was female, and my grandfather is obviously male. The X cromozone to the Y cromozone in the testing is complicated to understand.
I am not here to say I am of the Ingles child, I am here to say I am glad to see there are many descendants. And to share my family story with those who are interested.

There are NO SQUIRREL surnames in the 1880 U.S.Federal Census that are Cherokee.
Would need the pay for sites for the 1900 Indian Census and The Dawes Final Roll.
As far as Social Security Death Indexes; since you so loudly posted that you pay
taxes, etc. in your recent posts in genforum, then your real Father should be listed
in Kansas SSDI since you were "born and raised all of your life" in Kansas. But not
one of the SQUIRREL names is from Kansas. Oh, but you were/are enrolled on Cherokee Nation
Oklahoma. Then, one of the following might be your Father/Grandfather?:
Eli SQUIRREL

(this one likely closer to your possible father's age; Keely you did the same thing with
Longtail, so don't cry "foul"!)
There are more, but not one born in Kansas.

So this is your great-great-grandfather and your grandfather Sam who told the Draper-Ingles
story on his deathbed? The census image clearly states CREEK INDIAN, Keely, so which is it?
Should be able to find much more. Glad to help you out.
(Some dates and ages not typed.)
Can search images at http:://www.labs.familysearch.org/
Just type Charley.
