I was born at St. David's Hospital, 29 May 1968 to Robert Bostwick and Wynelle Garrett in Austin, Texas.
I grew up in Austin attending First Presbyterian Kindergarten, Bryker Woods Elementary, Gullett Elementary, Lucy Reed Sixth Grade Center, Lamar Jr. High School, and graduated from McCallum High School in 1986. I attended one semester at Southwest Texas State University (Texas State) fall of 1986.
In 1988 I joined the US Air Force Reserves and was assigned to my home base, Bergstrom AFB, as a member of the 924th TFG. This is also where I met my husband Barry Estes in 1989, marrying him 20 Jan 2020.
After marrying Barry we moved to Prattville, AL., and have lived there ever since. We have two daughters, Kayce Estes and Krystin Estes, and four grandchildren, Alyana Marie, Robert Ashton, Rebekah-Jean Loraine, and Remington Eloise.
My paternal grandparents, Adley Claude Bostwick (AC) and Ruth Caines, met in eastern Kentucky and married 22 May 1916 in Cabell, West Virginia. AC was born 19 Apr 1876 in Chillicothe, OH., and grew up to become a Presbyterian minister. Ruth was born 16 Dec 1897 in eastern KY., and moved with AC in his ministry across the country, finally settling in Syracuse, KS., where AC died 5 May 1958 at the age of 82, After AC's death Ruth moved to Austin, TX., where she died 10 Feb 1984 at the age of 87.
My maternal grandparents, Cecil O Garrett and Mary Anna Brown, met in Texas and married in 1926 (appx). Cecil was born 5 May 1903 in Ebony, TX., and grew up to become a successful roofer in Waco, TX., even maintaining his business through the Depression. Mary Anna (Anna) was born 13 Feb 1899 in Lamar, TX., and was a teacher for a short time before marrying Cecil. After my mother was born they moved to Waco where they lived until their deaths.

-edit: I seem to recall that she also had a daughter or grand daughter named Nancy...
ps -I assume you have found the American Indian/Native Americans project here on WikiTree?
("Nan-chi". All info I can find has her as a full-blood Cherokee from Stafford, VA. She married a Thomas Franklin Hornbuckle, also of Stafford, VA, in 1761")
of the Dragging Canoe controversy?! She was one of the last Honored Women (the one who saved Mrs. ... sorry, have to find my Cherokee notes...) and who led the Tsalagi to Cherokee and milk, pork, and English ways, including saving the tribe by introducing English laws.
Let me re-read your comment after breakfast and check my notes -Thank you so much for writing. I probably cannot help you directly, but others on the So. Colonies project can.
p.s. if memory serves, Holotype C is the most common East Coast Amer. Indian group, but there was so much mixing and 'adoption' that any halogroup from C to the West Coast X is possible (mtDNA). Most tribes discount the full sequence in favor of cultural definitions of membership (Eastern Band blood quantum is a notable exception), but you are likely right, as so many Cherokee escaped before and during the 1832-8 Removal (and then Plecker with his List in VA).
pps. Also see Lieut. Timberlake (I think he met Nancy Ward?) - http://digital.library.okstate.edu/Chronicles/v016/v016p003.html
