Answer 1

Check the "Cherokee By blood"  Indian applications.  These are transcribed by Jerry Jordan. Good luck!

Answer 2

Lots of Davenports on the Dawes Rolls. Do you happen to know who in your line would have been living in the time frame from about 1898 to 1910? and if any of them would have been living in Oklahoma (Indian Territory)? A search of the last name brings up these results on the Dawes Rolls http://www.okhistory.org/research/dawesresults.php?fname=&lname=davenport&tribe=&rollnum=&cardnum=&action=Search

Answer 3

I am the youngest of 10 children.  One of my brothers has long held that we have indian ancestors, however, my recent DNA results revealed that there is none.
