Warren's Cherokee Claim Based on Family Newsletter; No Marriage License Application to Be Found

It’s time not only for Ms. Warren to fess up about the false nature of her claims of Native American ancestry. It’s time for those institutions that propped up those claims—the New England Historic Genealogical Association, the mainstream media, Harvard Law School, and the University of Pennsylvania Law School—to fess up as well.

********

The slender thread upon which Elizabeth Warren’s claim that she is 1/32 Cherokee rests—a purported 1894 marriage license application—has been exposed as non-existent. Based on a review of the original marriage records found in the files of the Logan County, Oklahoma, it is likely that the ephemeral 1894 marriage license application never existed.
