James William Reeves family

Family traditions say Laura's mother was full Native American. Laura's granddaughter insists it is a Sioux bloodline. Another grandson insists it is Cherokee. With the help of a handwritten document from, a family member approximately in 1976, as well as a few members of Ancestry.com, I have found Laura's mother to be Lydia Powell. Laura was born abt. 1868. There hasn't been any records found within any tribe in the Carolinas prior to this date. The surname, Reeves, is Laura's maiden name as well. Bill and Laura are cousins.
