Chapter One

The United States of America is a country made by regrettably killing the Native Americans, relocating the Cherokee Nation from the East Coast of the United States to the Oklahoma Territory, and permitting slavery to remain active after the people declared the United States a sovereign nation. A nation, I might add, based on equality of every citizen regardless of their race, religion, creed, or point of origin.

We Americans, began our journey when a group of colonist decided our colonies would no longer cower to the English Crown. Based upon there decision, the Declaration of Independence was written and announced to the colonist, and to the King of England. Following the announcement and defeat of King George's mighty military, with the help of the French Navy and Army, our founders came forth with the United States Constitution.

The United States Constitution is the foundation of our country. The Founders wrote our government would consist of three separate branches - the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Each branch would have separate functions, but together would assure the country would not become a monarchy.

The Legislative Branch is the ultimate power of the American system. The Executive Branch is the government's administrative branch under the stewardship of The President of The United States and his cabinet. The Judicial Branch is supposed to monitor the activities of the other two branches, to assure they do not exceed their authority based on the U.S. Constitution.

Regarding the Supreme Court, it is my opinion, the Justices failed our nation in two extremely important cases before the court: (1) Allegedly, the Supreme Court informed President Andrew Jackson he did not have the authority, and his actions were in violation of the Constitution by his orders of moving the Cherokees to Oklahoma. Jackson was said to have announced "The Supreme Court does not have an army." (2) Siding with George W. Bush against Vice President Albert Gore in the 2000 national election. The Supreme Court Justices made George W. Bush the 43rd President of The United States Of America.

You may think I am getting away from the subject, but I am not.

Growing up in southern Kentucky part of Kentucky's 5th U.S. congressional District, known throughout many circles as the POT (marijuana) capitol of the United States, and per capita, the largest number of government subsidized citizens, I heard from different family members on both my father and mother's side, that we were of Native American blood.

I began the research which continues to date but learned, with some questions still outstanding: the Brown - Chandler and Wilson - Casteel families were indeed of indigenous blood. To this end even without the American Indian ancestry, I can be called a Melting Pot citizen without question.

My family tree's trunk consists of the Brown, Casteel, Chandler, and Wilson families. However, without the below listed families I would not be writing this autobiography:

Blevin (Blevins) Black Carter Dees Dobkins George Hamilton Mershon Moore Pennington Tackett

The Brown family according to a number of different sources are from the native tribes in New England from the time of arrivals at Plymouth Rock, of more recent history, one of my great - grandfathers married a Mary "Polly" Tackett. She was born in Hawkins, TN which is a known county for American Indians.

Wilson family is truly mixed with many races and ethnic groups. Grandmother Lucy Wilson was a Casteel at birth. Her father was more Indian than white (The first Casteel, in Kentucky, allegedly married a full blooded American Indian who resided in an Indian settlement near a British Fort in Rockcastle County. Not all the Casteel family agrees with me and a large number of other family members regarding Indian blood).

The chandler Family had indigenous blood from both sides. Grandfather Chandler married a lady named Louisa Blevin and/ or Blevins. One of her fore parents was a Dobkins.

Of note, my research revealed history that I had never knew. For example, there were family members whose ancestry included Arabs and Arab Jews who were expelled from Spain by Queen Isabella (Queen Isabella's army defeated the Muslims who had conquered Spain and much of Europe during Prophet Mohammed's religious war). The Muslims/ non-Muslims were forced aboard ships bound to North America and discharged off of the coast of the present day Carolinas. From shore side, they traveled into the mountain range and lived among the American Indians.

The research concluded my ancestry consisted of: Europeans, North American Indians, North Africa, and East Asia. During a down period in research, I sent a DNA sample to the Gene Tree DNA Company in Utah to determine where our family originated (The test was based on my father's DNA. My mother's family were in the North America longer and their Indian heritage was greater. At a later date, I plan on checking my DNA from my mother's side. Too expensive at present.). The following DNA data is provided:

European ancestry is close to ninety percent. The remaining leads us to the Native American, Sub-Sahara Africa and East Asia. We know the Wilson clan came from Ireland. The Brown family from Great Britain. Other family members came from France, Germany, Normand, East Asia, and the continent of Africa.

During the month of May 2009, I submitted another swab to an Ancestry Agency, again in Utah, to obtain the results of my father's "Y" Chromosome. For example: "starting from the point in human history when many ancient ancestral groups migrated out of Africa, discrete populations began to settle in different parts of the...
