Gailliard says:
I live in Detroit Michigan. My mother is from Canada and we are descendants of Perry Handsor and Sarah Sammons. My grandmother's maiden name is Handsor and she was born in Dover east, Ontario Canada. My grandfather's side of the family are Richardson's from N.C. and they are from the Haliwa-Saponi tribe. I am trying to get some kind of recognition in Canada for both of my grandparents and I believe (the Heites') research paper is helping me to understand why the government has categorized Perry Handsor as mulatto instead of Indian. I also tried to get some type of Indian recognition from Ben Sammons side and the Indian Affairs turned our family down because he was listed as Indian (only) in the 1871 census of Ontario and that wasn't proof enough. |
