native american genealogy?

Coleman Senn: As you provided no year or time frame or location, it is impossible to research with any reliability,. The Census to 1930 is currently available through several sites, I like the National Archives. But Familysearch,org is also a good site

Marion Wieboldt: There are over a hundred Nancy Bridges in the censuses. There are no entries for the surname Kayshire, only two as a first name. There a lot of records for Oxendines, but none that put the two together that I can find. Do you have any more clues?

Lourie Mcroberts: I am sorry, but I believe Kayshire was the clan name. Elizabeth Oxendine could have also been known as Elizabeth Gibson, name changed for some reason. Both women married a Jackson from form the Jackson/Wilson family from NC. I believe this took place in the early 1800's. My cousin had the DNA test and, our Jackson's are from this group and do have Native American Markers.

Hong Hunkin: I know this is old, but Nancy Kayshir! e Bridges married Andrew Jackson. It was never proven that she was Cherokee, because the applications were denied. Andrew s brother was William who married Elizabeth Oxendine, who was Lumbee. From looking through the Lumbee surnames, it speaks of all the Jackson men who are from this line. I believe we are Lumbee, not Cherokee. Search melungeon and lumbee and you will find more information. Also look up Andrew and William s sister Oma or Naoma Oxendine. Search for chancery court records. This will answer a lot of your questions....Show more

Frederick Mccoach: You need North Carolina Records for the Oxendine Family and Lumbee Tribe. Mostly in Robeson County.
