Well you put up a link to where he talks about me and I assumed you'd read it.
Well I just emailed him asking him to remove my name from his site or I was gonna sue him. I don't know if that'll do any good.
You are probably right -- I might have gotten carried away . . .
I read Anderson's history and it is about as correct as Daren's, of the Chickamauga Cherokee.
At one time I didn't know how dangerous Scott Anderson was. There was once another fraud-busting internet group that I belonged to and that group tore into Scott Anderson, whom I had contacted many times. This was when he was with that Amonsoquath group and I had that Society of Absentee Cherokee. I was contacting all these fake tribes that are in reality "Societies" or "clubs" of people seeking to find out about Cherokee costoms and heritage, and one person who responded in a friendly receptive manner was Scott Anderson.
One member -- of that fraud busting group was Tuscarora from Canada. He tore into Scotty, and once I knew who Scott was, I distanced myself from him.
http://www.scotlandroyalty.org/here's Darren's site on Scottish genealogy (above) and on Jewish genealogy (below). He says he's descended not only from Scottish Nobility, but Pictish as well. I think he's related to several English kings as well.

Thank You!

http://www.rootsweb.com/~txhall/guide.htmlAbove link is to Darren's Hall County Texas site. There he says --
. . . Both my parents have Cherokee Blood and I am at the very least 3/8 Cherokee, perhaps closer to 1/2 when all is figured to the full blood quantum.
. . .
Several of my Lemley cousins in the year 1856 were taken captive by the Comanche Tribe while living in Erath County Texas. It is believed that it was Chief Petu Nocona (The Father of War Chief Quanah Parker) was the leader of the raiding party that captured my cousins.
Some time later two of my cousins were released by the Comanches, and a short time later, one of the male brothers of the former captives was killed by Comanches in Young County Texas where the family moved in hopes to escape the raids at the time.
You can read the obituary of my cousin Hulda at:
Obituary of Hulda Lemley - Comanche Captive!
My Great Great Grandfather married a Comanche woman after the Civil War, whom gave birth to my Great Grandmother and died when my Great Grandmother was but one month old, probably due to birth complications.
My other Great Great Grandfather was a Texas Ranger and fought with the Comanches on the frontier and could speak several Indian languages as a result of his service. There is a family story about a boy whom had been captured by Comanches at 4 years old when his parents were killed in a raid on their wagon train around 1863.
He later escaped the Comanches at around 14 with the help of some Cowboys taking cattle to Abilene Kansas through what is now known as Wheeler County, not far from where Old Mobeetie town later came into existance. Well as a result of the help of the cowboys, the boy escaped and wandered south for many many miles into a frontier town where my Grandad happened to be on Ranger Duty, and the boy was speaking Indian, as he knew no english.
As the story goes, my GG Grandfather could speak some Indian and spoke to the boy, and the boy explained to him his story and hung on to Grandfather and would not let go, so Grandfather took the boy in to live with him, and the boy when he grew up married my Great Aunt in 1877 and the boy whom was once a captive became my Uncle.
I could literally write a book on the events that shaped my ancestors lives in regards to Cowboys & Indians! . . .
My dad's family was raised in the Chickasaw Nation (when grandma was a child) and we have some similar interesting family stories, but about having to look out for Comanches stealing cattle or horses in the Chickasaw Nation. Our geographical area is close to his, but North o' the Red, not to its South. But my Dad's family was in contact with some of the same Comanche families his was, most likely, if what he is sayin' is true.
Basically I just didn't want anyone who read what he said about be to believe what he was sayin'. But it is typical of a Texan to slander an Oklahoman -- it's just their way -- they can't help it, it's that foul smell in their drinkin' water on the South side o' the Red . . . puts a "braggart, arrogant, lyin " gene in their system.
Well at least now that I know you don't believe what he said I can joke around a little.
