I am looking for the Biological Father of my Great Granddad. Charlie Stevenson Fulton born in Cherokee County Alabama to Sarah or Rebecca Bettis. The 1870 census shows Rebecca Bettis as his mother. Sarah raised him as her son so we do not know who was his mother. We have no record of either one of these women being married to a Fulton. Our DNA test show we are related to the Ephriam Bettis Sr. family line. We also show some relations to the Fulton side but are unable to confirm a Father for Charlie. Anyone out there that might have information please feel free to contact me. I have DNA for myself and aunt on My Heritage. [contact link]
