I have a question regarding Native American and white marriages. Did the White women take their Native American husband's last name or did they keep their maiden name?
I am looking for information on my g-g-grandmother, Jenny. She is thought to be Native American. I found someone in the 1880 Hardman County TN census, that I believe is her family, but it shows her living with her Grandfather and her mother and they all have the last name of Cupp.
1880 Hardeman County TN Census:
Name Age
Geo. Cupp 75 Head Widower Born TN
S. C. Cupp 50 Daughter Single Born TN
B. Jane Cupp 17 Grandaughter Single Born TN
My g-g-grandmother's name was Jenny. She was married 1st to a Brooks and had two children. Then, she married Leander D. Teater in Tipton County TN on Nov. 13, 1888. Her mother is Catherine C. Cupp according to the 1900 Madison County TN census. Catherine is living in the household of Leanda D. (Leander D.) and Jennie Teater and is listed as mother-in-law, a widow and had been married 48 yrs. Catherine is in the same household (F E or L E Teater) in the 1910 Calhoun County Arkansas Census. I'm wondering if Catherine was never married or if she did not take her married name. I'm trying to find Catherine's husband/Jenny's father or his family. I believe he may have been Native American. Thanks, Linda
