My grandfather was Newell Conley Pyatte and I was told he was full blooded Cherokee Indian. Would love to know if that’s true.

He was not a full blood Cherokee, nor is there evidence that he was of any Cherokee ancestry. His grave is here:

All of his lines are extremely well-traced. You can click on the links for parentage and go back quite a ways. They appear to all be from rather standard European colonial roots.
