True. The only thing I know is what Grandma told me about Great Great Grandma being Cherokee. As for any documented proof, no, nothing.
Sure, you could see the evidence of being Native American in Great Grandma's skin tone which was in her youth a very even tone of light tan with some facial structure that was Native American. Like, in skin tone and some facial features she resembled her mother, while in body structure she more closely resembled her father.
The photo of Great Great Grandma shows her with her blended family consisting of children from her first and second Irish husbands. She was seated so I can't guess her height but it doesn't seem to be as much as either her daughter Helen (Great Grandma) or her husband. As for the Irish Husband of Great Great Grandma he looked in his expressions to be a stable relatively peaceful and contented man. His most striking features were being very slender and tall with a handsome hawklike face prominent nose much like Great Great Grandma who appeared much darker than Great Grandma Helen in the photos.
I'm sure my aunt has more information and would love a resource as she knows the names better.
