My Mother and her family say that my grandfather and his father, my great grandfather was full Comanchee. My grandfather was Virgil Barnes Brown born in 1903, died in Taylor County Texas or Baird, Texas in 1992. His wife was Cleo Lesley Brown. My Great grandfather, Virgil's father was Charlie or "(charles) Van Brown and he was married to Myrtle Grace Hicks Brown. I do not have the date of their birth or death. I have my grandfathers birth and marriage certificate. Charley Van Brown had several children - Virgil Charles, Cecil, Ione, and Themal. They lived most of their lives in Putnam, Texas. Virgil and Cleo were married in Jones County. My mother says she believes Virgil was born in Patosie( not sure of spelling) TX. Virgil had several children - Mary Van, Virgie, Bettie, Aliene,Shirley, Lelan. I don't have much to go one except these fact. I'd appreciate it if you could help. I would very much like to have proof of my Cherokee heritage.
