Says Sheryl Clounie:
There was a rumor in our family also that Rebecca Jack was part
Indian. I have found no evidence to support this. What I have found
is that her father, John J. Jack, after his 1st wife died (Rebecca's
mother), then married Alice Yargee and they lived in Oklahoma. Alice
Yargee was 1/4 Creek. They had two daughters, Alice Luvina "Vina"
Jack and Amanda Amy Jack. So, most likely, we have some distant
cousins that are part American Indian. I found their application on
the web for enrollment with the Dawes Commission.
