Colton Haynes is an American actor and model. He is known for his roles on the shows The Gates, Look: The Series, Teen Wolf, Arrow, and American Horror Story, in the films San Andreas, Rough Night, and Bigger, and in the made-for-tv movie Swindler Seduction.

Colton is the son of Dana and William Haynes. He was raised on a farm in Andale, Kansas, and also partly in Arkansas, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida.

Colton is of mainly English ancestry. He also has some Scottish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, and distant German, French Huguenot, and Welsh, roots; also, one of Colton’s paternal great-great-great-grandmothers, Sarah Ann Ward, was of documented part Native American, Cherokee, ancestry.

Colton’s paternal grandfather was Clayton Jack Haynes (the son of William W. Haynes and Nettie Mildred Bendura/Bendure). Clayton was born in Oklahoma. Clayton and his father, William, are listed as “White” on the 1930 U.S. Census. William was the son of Delaney/Dallaney Haynes and Hannah Manerva. Clayton’s mother, Nettie, Colton’s great-grandmother, is listed as “Indian” (Native American) on the same census. Nettie was the daughter of John Bryant Bendure and Mary Diadema Hobbs. John’s father, James H. Bendure, was caucasian. John’s mother, Clayton’s great-great-great-grandmother, Sarah Ann Ward, was of mixed Cherokee Native American and caucasian ancestry. Colton’s great-great-grandmother Mary Hobbs was caucasian. This makes Colton of likely somewhere under 1/64th Cherokee Native American ancestry.

Colton’s paternal grandmother was Helen Ruth Corley (the daughter of John Thomas Corley and Bessie Ray Cash). Helen was born in Texas. Helen, and both of her parents, are listed as “White” on the 1930 U.S. Census. Helen is also listed as “White” on the 1940 U.S. Census. Helen had English and Scottish ancestry. John was the son of Seth A. Corley and Elizabeth Nancy Ferguson.

Colton’s maternal grandfather is John Crawford Mitchell (the son of Steve Ray Mitchell and Lillian Violet Ross). John was born in Texas. Steve was the son of Charles Everett Mitchell and Helen H. Lillian was the daughter of James DeWitt Ross and Nettie/Ellen Moore Baird.

Colton’s maternal grandmother is Lola Mae Roquemore (the daughter of Jess Henry Roquemore and Ludie Ester White). Lola was born in New Mexico. Jess was the son of Henry Spivey Roquemore and Allie Mae Oldham. Ludie was the daughter of Joseph Early Lee White and Sarah Louisa Mitchell; Sarah was the daughter of Louis Lewis Mitchell and Margaret Matilda Hopkins; Margaret was the daughter of Benjamin Franklin Hopkins and Sarah Jane Hyatt.

    He looks like the ideal man in 1950’s America- attractive and all white. Even if he is part native, so what? Is he partaking in native culture and tradtions? No.

  2. shobohunter says:

    sorry not
    0.015625% but 1.5625% native

  3. shobohunter says:

    1/64 native blood. is actually 0.015625% native. I wonder
    how does he come up with that apt percentage of his ancestry. even if he is 1/64 native that percentage doesn’t/ cannot count.

  4. WTF says:

      I love coming across these comments, they make my day. Here we have a racist clueless jerk that doesn’t know the 3 admixtures of “white” people let me stat what they are so you’ll understand, WHG (Western Hunter-Gatherer), EEF (Early European Farmer), ANE (Ancestral North EUROASIAN) we’re closely related, we may have more in common than you might think. “Cracka” you’re the problem ignorant fk not us, all Europeans has Asian genes… 100% European? That’s not the case bud, no ones pure anymore especially today lol.
