Great Grandma was full blooded Cherokee
No she wasn't!!!
We were told the Cheeks were Cherokee, they looked Indian, except for the Blue eyes. Mom always said "your daddy can't hold his liquor because those Cheeks are Indian" Great Grandma Sarah Jane Wees was supposedly mostly Cherokee.. Well I've looked into Great Grandma Sarah Jane Wees Cheek Kincaids family, and the one thing I'm sure about her is that she wasn't Indian.. Her family comes from good German and English Stock.. Father was George Washington Weese, mother was Clementine J. Godby.. Neither one of whom were Indian.. The Godbys were one of the earliest familys in Virginia at Jamestown and the Weese's were german, and possibly have Jewish roots.. Weese is a modification of Weise which I think means White in German...and is a known Jewish name.. George Washington Weeses parents were David Wees and Elizabeth Niday The Nidays come from the Von Nida family that I have traced back to the 1400's in Germany.
