Bitz and Pieces

The stuff that just doesn't quite fit anywhere else.

Okay, here's the stuff that I *know*, but just not enough about. If you have any information, please tell me!

* I know that I have Cherokee Indian relatives on my grandmother's side, but I have no name. I'm hoping they're on the Higgenbotham side, as I have no maiden name for Myrtle. Perhaps I can find marriage records?

* From my mother's side I'm Irish, Dutch, and Scottish, with a little Cherokee Indian thrown in for good measure. On my father's side, I'm French and Scottish. Other nationalities are possible, but unknown as of this time.

* My paternal great-grandparents sure had a thing for naming their sons after localities -- Clinton, Braxton, Houstan, and Raymond are all towns in Mississippi or Texas. I choose to believe they just had so many kids they were strapped for names, and gave their sons the name of whatever town they happened to be in.

* Jenny Henderson died at age 56, though her birthdate is unknown. Her son, Clinton Chisholm, was my grandfather, and was born in 1905.
