Is anyone familiar with the Clair or Snider side of my family to know if they were Native American ethnicity?

Question

Jones Salem Clair 
1854 - 1916 born Knoxville, Marion County, Iowa

Zolomon Jones Clair 1823 - 1894

born Ontario Co., NY

Anna Linn Clair 
(born Snider)
1879 - 1952

from Mankato, Jewell County, Kansas

Simon P. Snider 
1848 - 1919 died in Rosebud, Montana

Comments

I don't see anything on the Clair side. Zolomon's father was a William Clair. I will look at your Sniders.

Looks like Simon P, was the son of George, who was likely son of George Snider in the 1820 census. Simon's mother was likely Anna Stockton. None of this sounds promising.

Why do you suspect you have NA ancestry? Family history?

Answer 1

Judging by this photo, I do not think he was of Native American ancestry.

Also, his wife's maiden name was Hinkle, and she was born in Pennslyvania, so it is possible she was either of German or Dutch ancestry.
