I have a 1/16 blood of cherokee from my Dad Leslie James Urich 1/8 blood - Grandmother Elsie (Taylor) Urich 1/4 blood - Great Grandmother Dosha (Stokes) Taylor 1/2 blood - Great Great Grandmother Almeda (Sharp) Stokes Full blooded. I have heard that we may have Choctaw blood too. My family side of my mom Luella Mae (Gardner) Urich, I may have even more indian blood but her family is hard for me to find out things about.

Great Grandpa Henry Ward Urich was volunteer for Civil War from OH. Union side. He was in the Stanhopes 6 Ohio Cavalry Company L - Film Number: M552 roll 111. He had his horse shot out from under him. Henry taught school and he and the boys farmed. Grandma Mariah and the girls ran a boarding home. Grandpa Weid was 6 years old when his Dad Henry died of a heart attack in the field. He's buried in Poplar Bluff City Cemetery..1904. He was a Civil War Veteran. Uncle Gordon served in WW1 and Leslie WW11. *All three buried there next to each other. After Grandpa Henry died Grandma Mariah moved the kids to Ripley County where they had a store, she bought up land and gave each child 40 acres a piece. *She had also purchased 10 grave sites in the Poplar Bluff Cemetary.

Great Great Grandpa David Urich was born in PA and may have came from Germany. Then they moved to Ohio. Our Urich Ancestors did come from Germany. David wife is my grtgrtgrdma Mary Ann Eckenrode, in 1834, Reuben signed bond for her to admnr estate of Thomas Eckenrode (where Thomas fits in the family line is not known); he did the same for estate of Jos. Duer, and was appraiser for estate of David Urich, must have married in PA; no record of marriage in "Early Marriages of Trumbull City, 1800-1865. David lived for some years as a farmer in Jackson Township, Mahoning County, OH, according to land records. He owned land in Ellsworth Twp, Mahoning Co in 1845: 190 acres. He owned two pieces of land (49 and 69 acres) in Jackson, one of them next to his son-in-law, Peter Wormley, to whom he sold that piece. Just to the west of his land was that of Abraham Ohl, Issac Strock, and John Eckenrode (my grt grt grt grdpa). (Perhaps that is why his brother Obadiah moved into the same area of Jackson Twp around 1840). Reuben owned one piece of land in Mecca, shown on an 1856 map, but by 1874 he had sold it to T. Wormley.
*
David's 6th child was Frank Urich, Ohio (1841-?), he married Mary McGuire and had at least two sons, Bertram and Clifford, and an adopted daughter, Ina.
*
Grandpa Weid Urich was hitchiking through Missouri one day when he was picked up by then candidate, Harry S. Truman. He rode several miles with him.
