Tamkaynic, 64

My name is Tammy, Tam. I am 64 with 2 children. I am probably a quarter Cherokee. My family or my mother’s family Potter, are from the Appalachian mountains. Eastern Tennessee, Carter county. I searched back 4 generations and finally found proof of my connection. My grandfather, my mother’s dad last name Potter was full blooded. He was amazing could build anything. Owned his own construction business. Had 9 children and relocated to Rockville, Maryland. Would not sign the rolls. Always put W on all census paperwork. They said he was not ashamed but afraid they would take his business. Sad! I want to learn more on our heritage. For my children.
