Chris is the son of Beverly and Byron Kirkpatrick. His ancestry is heavily Pennsylvania Dutch [ethnic Germans in Pennsylvania]. He has German, Swiss-German, as well as Irish, Scottish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, English, Cornish, and Welsh, roots. Chris has also evidently said that he has Spanish and Native American ancestry. It is not clear if that is accurate.
Chris is married to Karlyn Skladany, with whom he has a son.

Matilda was the daughter of James Goheen Wilson and Matilda Susanna Timlin/Timblin.
Chris’s maternal grandfather was Stewart James Eustice (the son of Stewart/Steward James Eustice and Jennie/Genny Mae Atkinson). Chris’s grandfather Stewart was born in Pennsylvania. Chris’s great-grandfather Stewart was the son of William Phillip Eustice, whose father was from Crowan, Cornwall, England; and of Elizabeth Jessie Lloyd, whose father was Welsh and whose mother was English.

Is Pete Hutchinson English?
So does he really have Spanish and Native American ancestry?
Probably not, but English should be added.

Says here his grandparents were Frank and Art Kirkpatrick.
Chris is the son of Beverly and Byron Kirkpatrick.
Beverly’s maiden name is Eustice
He is part East Indian, not Native American Indian.
I highly doubt that he’s East Indian. Do you have proof? East Indians weren’t prominent in the US until very recently. And when they were present in the past, they tended to stick to their communities
