Hello, all! I'm Russell Mikel and have just recently stumbled into my Pack ancestors via Mary Melissa Pack (1833-1989) who married Solomon Stansbury. Her parents appear to be Thomas Pack (1805-1870) and Artilissie Hawkins (1805-1838), and Thomas' parents appear to be Smith Green Pack, Sr. (1760-1835) and Elizabeth 'Betsy' Lowery (d.1839). I'm still confirming these dates, etc. (and it IS confusing!), but my real question is about Elizabeth Lowery and the Cherokee question. I've seen trees claiming her parents as the Scotsman George Lowery who seems clearly to have married the Cherokee woman Oo Loo Tsa "Nannie" of the Blue Holly clan. But I've seen other trees that convincingly say that THAT Elizabeth married twice to other men, not to Smith Green Pack. Can anyone help me find out who this Smith Green Pack married? That seems to be the immediate key to unlocking the question of Cherokee blood in my line.
By the way, the results from DNA testing I had done came back with 0% native American blood for me, but I need to go back and see what they mean. If Nannie were my Cherokee ancestor, I would only be 0.4% Cherokee (1/256), so it might not show up. Thanks!
