Hi joy
yes i do have a picture of amanda alice and john henry colegrove she is a very hard looking women and that might be where they think the native american comes from. but she is not or was not native american. I have alot on her and my mom and aunt both use to stay with her when they were young, they many times told me that she was a mean lady and poor ole john henry took her meaness, what was frowned upon was that one of the sibs was kinda loose, and slept around. and had two sons from that, I too have been told the same thing and that is why I started my search. If you want to check it out you can contact the vital records in ohio and get her birth and death certs, I have not done that but if you should please let me know they will have who her mom and dad where which was adison canary and margaret author, she had several bros and sis's, about 8 to 10, she was the mom of my granddad my mom's dad and they lived with them when my mom was young. hope this helps, but I have heard the native american and calamity relation thing also all my life I have not found anything that confirms that if you do please let me know I have not done a search in a while, and the marriage wasn't frowned upon adison didn't want her to marry john henry and john said he married her to make adison mad. this has been passed down thru all my aunts and uncles they have always laughed about it and made the same comments about it. which daughter are you talking about of amanda and johns what was her name lucassa? I think they had three I don't have my stuff in front of me but will get it.
