Black...Saponi name???

[jeanette_schwarz]

I have been trying to research a family line named Black. I have been told by several widespread people that my connection to this line is believed to have been Blackfoot indian. Apparently there were several individuals named Black who fled to MO during the removal times, but were not cherokee...the family stories claim Blackfoot indian. I have also been told that many of the MO Black families eventually moved on down into IT/OK and from there eventually migrated up to Alberta CA. Other names associated with this family line, Brown, Bowen, and Brookshire, can also be found in Alberta with the Blacks.
If the Blacks are Blackfoot, do you have a ball park guess where they might have originated.... I am having difficulty figureing out were my ancestor's family migrated from. I have seen a possible beginning point with some Black and Fox lines in Ohio...truly grasping at straws here. Any ideas?

Go read edstp62's posts on the "Blackfoot/Tuckahoe" thread in the "Other Blackfoot" section. That should help a lot. You can also ask Greywolf about MO Blackfoot. He's been posting on the Tutelo Immersion thread. Click on the little icon of a letter for his email.

There have been a lot of info on this also in the "Welcome to Saponitown" section "Blackfoot" thread. There's also an article on the main page of the site called "The Other Blackfoot."
