Heather has stated, “I am part Lumbee – way, way back on my father’s side.” The Lumbee are a Tribe in North Carolina, who have Native American and/or African ancestry. It is not clear if Heather’s Lumbee ancestry has been verified/documented. Heather’s most recent ancestors are all listed as “White” on U.S. Censuses. Through her father, Heather is the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Duncan Locklear/Locklair and Nancy Quick, of South Carolina. These ancestors were, at least publicly, caucasian.
Socialite and model Tiffany Trump is descended from the same Locklear ancestors, and is Heather’s half-fourth cousin, once removed, through their common forebear William Jesse Locklear.
Heather’s paternal grandfather was Harper Hamilton Locklear (the son of William Jesse Locklear and Martha/Mattie/Madeline Walena Hatfield). Harper was born in Kentucky or Georgia. William was the son of William Jesse/Jessie Locklear and Roseanna Garrett. Martha was the daughter of Hiram Edward Hatfield and Julia Dorinda Whitaker.
Heather’s paternal grandmother was Esther Mary/Mae Wolsifer (the daughter of William George Wolsiffer and Mollie H. Wilson). Esther was born in Indiana. William was the son of John Wolsiffer, who was born in Boerrstadt, Platz, Bavaria, Germany, and of Christina Bertram, who was born in Ohio, to German parents, her father from Rhineland-Palatinate and her mother from Baden-Württemberg. Mollie was the daughter of William or Henry B. Wilson and Melissa J. Ashby/Ashbey.
Heather’s maternal grandfather was Kenneth L. D. Tinsley (the son of Jesse/Jessie William Tinsley and Hattie Belle Black). Kenneth was born in Missouri. Jesse was the son of Joseph Burton Tinsley and Ellen B. Johnson. Hattie was the daughter of Jacob Robert Black and Lydia A. Garlough.
Heather’s maternal grandmother was named Ruth B. Roberts (the daughter of a man surnamed Roberts, and of Mary). Ruth was born in Illinois.

“Once in 18 or 19th century was a great day: all natives left
their reservations and had a wild sex with whites. The Inka
G-d cared, that their descendants are gathered in Hollywood”
Have smb. a better theory, why 99% Holywood celebrities are
“a bit” native?
Common sense: natives were 0,97(!)% of USA population
and they lived in reservations. How it’s possible, that
everybody in Hollywood have native ancestors?
lmaoo thank you!!! so true. They are such liars and fakes. Hate thoughs fake-wannabes.
I thought, people write G-d, cuz they respect him, I didn’t
know, it’s a Jewish priveleg. Or you made a joke?
GOD, GOD, GOD!!! Are you satisfated now?
Censorship? Why? You knew, how I would react at
your statement, or you thought, that I confess,
that I’m an ortodox Jew and a free mason and my
comments are “secret messages” and I persited,
that Hugh is a Jew, cuz…hm… I’m very proud of him,
he’s a “liberator” and blablabla. I can see now,
you are all Freud’s patients
I didn’t know it, o’k? I could explain it me, but
without paranoid suppositions. It’s an Internet,
we don’t know each other, and nobody
has it necessary to hide his heritage, religion or
sexuell orientation
I didn’t know, it’s vorbidden, and it’s some Jewish
ritual. Maybe, I’m already a member of free masons
or some other “conspiracy”, without my knowledge
if Lumbee is Black, White and Indian, she should be considered Black(Mulatto) although she is fairskinned
1/256 is “black” or “mulatto”??? Such laws didn’t exist
even in slavery
lumbee is “native american” and she is not native if she is lumbee
i dont mean to be rude but what country is lumbee
