    I am trying to dig up info about my GGrandmother, Anna Elizabeth Winney, b. 1869-1871 in Wisconsin (probably Grant County). It is said that she was either
    all or part Indian (our family's physical appearance would certainly confirm this!) But WHERE did the "Indian"- part come from? I just found out that her Grandfather's name was "Fountain Taylor" of Virginia. Has anyone ever heard of
    that male first name?? I am secretly hoping that it may relate to our family's
    "Indian-ness."

    Thanks for any help.

    I just wanted to add that I'm doing my family tree and I also have a "Fountain" from Virginia! his name is Fountain Melvin Hawkins... certainly interesting.

    My great grandfathers name was Fountain and it is a strong family name... but no connection to Native American anything. It is traced back to the Normans...
