Came to Texas at age 17 (1909) and lived with William Henry Lansford. His daughter Lois referred to them as "Granny" and "Grandpap" although later she listed them as his maternal aunt and uncle. Harriet Lansford was an older sister of Papa's father Kinch. His mother had been dead several years, father had died even earlier.
He claimed to be one-quarter Cherokee. On his mother's side??? Have found absolutely no evidence - Pippin, Dennis, Bean descendants all say no to this. Daughter Juanita also denies any Indian blood.
