Sills in 1875 he was born 1868 aprox. he spoke fluent Native tonque first 5 years of his life father is listed as James Grey he was beaten for speaking his native language he also said that his father was a confedrate and he ran with quantrill and admired JEB Stuart.My grandfather lived both lives Native/white.I asked where our last name came from and got 2 versions one from color of uniform grey second that James was also from awell known family and name was changed from something like Grey_ he said it was a animal ut doesn't remember what because my grandfather died at 100.
