Armstrong/King(Chief) - Scotch-Irish/Choctaw - Great-great-great grandfather signed the Dancing Rabbit Treaty - 'had a white wife and a Choctaw wife - obviously we're from the white wife. His name roughly translated means......'he who puts-out and kills'

....'explains my love for hunting.
Some of my ancestors from Carroll Co. made saddles, boots, and leater goods for the Confederate army. My grandfather, father and I were all born in Greenwood.

i'm a mutt. Last name is Graham which traces it's roots all the way back to the highlands of Scotland. However, there's English, German, and even Cherokee mixed in there. Dad said the Graham's came in through the Carolina's and went back to what they were doing in Scotland which was making whiskey and fighting. He mapped it out once and I found out I'm distantly related to Billy Graham. Thought that was kind of interesting. Don't mean I'm invited to Sunday dinner at the house though.
