Parkman family currently in Texas with Cherokee/Irish Background circa 1930
My name is Louis Edward Parkman III. My granfather is L. E. Parkman, who is a Cherokee/Irish mix. His wife is Louise Parkman. They currently live in Ft. Worth, TX, and have lived there for approx. 30 years. I unfortunately know very little about my family because my g.grandfather felt that my grandfather would do better in a white man's world knowing only the white man's ways. I won't argue with a man that proved his point a half a century ago, but I am very curious as to my family's origins. I was told that my g.g.grandfather was present on the "Trail of Tears". Either he or my g.grandfather was named "Barto", and was given or assumed the name of Parkman. If you have any info, I surely would appreciate it. Upon request (and info), I can travel to speak with my grandfather to learn more. I visit home regularly, but usually only with a frequency ~ 1 month. Thanks for any help.
L.E. "Eddie" Parkman III
