Jen Houghton-Pratt: "I know so little about the alleged Native American blood. I wasn't even told about it until I was pregnant with my first child. (This was after Frank's death). My grandmother showed me a picture of a very obviously Native American woman said it was my great grandma Houghton and told me if the baby "didn't look right" that she was the reason and that she was an Indian.That was as much as she would tell me, other than the woman's name was Mary (Mary Lightfoot or something that looked like Lightfoot was written on the picture) and that she wasn't from "up here". (In Grandma's mind,"UP HERE" meant anywhere north of the Mason-Dixon line.) She said Frank didn't want her to talk about it. It doesn't surprise me that my elder cousins hadn't been told, since their children were born before Frank's death. Frank was not such a nice guy. He was a very abusive husband & father."
