Yes, there is that theory that our great-grandfather, Henry Strickland, was part Cherokee Indian, although what percentage of that I really don't know. My cousin Karen knew something about that but I cannot quite remember what she said. The details of that are not clear to me. Even so, so what? I don't look like an Indian. I don't feel like an Indian. Chalk it up to the American melting pot. Just another American mix of the non-descript variety.
