<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7825396, member: 100459&quot;]I have an uncle that is heavily into genealogy.&nbsp; He has gone back to the 13th century.&nbsp; In his research, he traced the Dale line quite a ways back.&nbsp; I&#039;m not good at this, but it has been discovered that we are related to a former governor of Jamestown... Sir Thomas Dale.&nbsp; Reading his history has been quite informative.&nbsp; However, Sir Thomas Dale and his family returned to England, therefore, the Dale line doesn&#039;t return to the States (as far as I know on the Dale line) until my great grandmother and her family of 7 children returned to the States via Ellis Island.&nbsp; My great grandmother had to find work to support her family while my grand father was put up in the infirmary on or about Ellis Island because he was sick.&nbsp; My great grand Father was serving in the British Army during WW I and he was killed and buried in France.</p><p>After my grand father&#039;s health was restored, My great grandmother and her children went to Indiana where other relatives were living.&nbsp; My grandfather was a mailman there.&nbsp; At 17, my father enlisted in the U.S. Navy during WWII.&nbsp; </p><p>It&#039;s amazing what you can find out when you follow your genealogy.</p><p>I did find out that my mother&#039;s great grandmother was a Cherokee Indiana living in western Tennessee.&nbsp; Her name was Nancy Ann Sytha Canatcher.&nbsp; My grandfather supported his family as a deputy sheriff and making &quot;shine&quot;.&nbsp; He served a year then moved to Indiana and became a deputy sheriff again and supported his family by gardening to feed his family.</p><p>James W.
