Biography

Alice has Native American ancestors.

Alice Jeffrey is a part of US Black heritage.

Her ancestors include George Jeffrey, a Nehantic, and Elizabeth Morgan, whose mother was Montauk. The extended Jeffrey-Condol-Beman family tended to intermarry and often lived in groups, which helped them maintain their NA traditions through the generations. From 1840-1890, Indian was not an option in the census records. Alice self-identified as Indian in the census records of 1905, 1910, and 1920. Her other ancestors were of European and African ancestry.
