Edward "Old Ned" Sizemore - Not so Cherokee

?

“ We have followed the movement of the Sizemores from the early 1700’s up until the early 1900’s and the filing of more than 2,200 Eastern Cherokee Applications filed by Sizemore descendants. Despite those Eastern Cherokee Applications, our research has found is that we are a Siouan people who migrated here from the Ohio River Valley around 1100 AD. When you research history you find our people have gone by many names. Some of these names include, Esaw, Yesa, Yesah, Tutelo, Catawba, and Saponi. The evidence tells us the Sizemores were Tutelo, and that they were part of the Catawba Confederacy. We have been closely aligned with the Catawba, Saponi, Saura, Keyauwee, Occaneechi and a few others for centuries.”

Erica,

Thanks for helping with this cuz I have several Sizemores in my tree connected to me. This helps a lot.

Roy Blevins, a descendant on Ancestry has Old Ned's parents as William Sizemore and Winifred Green, in a Legend and Fact bio he posted. I have DNA Sizemore cousins that I haven't found 'how' yet, so I don't know much about the lines. Just curious which is the actual mother of Old Ned. ?

Thanks,

Then I see that with the curator notes on this profile, there is yet another set of parents, which indicates the current connections are wrong.
