He was born in Maui, and was raised in California, later moving to Oregon. Gavin has said:
I’m a mutt, man. I’m Irish, English, Welsh, Spanish, Native American, and a mix of other European countries, I think there’s some Greek in there, but mostly Irish.
Gavin’s paternal fifth great-grandmother, Elizabeth “Bessie” (Walker) Leatherwood, or Li si a Dohi A qua take Quaty, is said to have been born, c. 1754, in Swain County, North Carolina, and to have been of partial or full Eastern Cherokee ancestry.

Can’t believe he played Leighton’s brother on The Sex Lives Of College Girls. I love that show, but they have to stop pretending white people and poc belong to the same race because it has to be inclusive. Who’s gonna buy that b-shit??
Heterogeneous looking siblings indeed
The acenstry of New México, this people just. Spanish people that came to your maybe spanish woman or native american woman to live in America.

I think this is Sara:

This woman also had the last name Leatherwood and is the same age. I can’t find her obituary, but she died between 2011 and 2017.
Sara’s parents were Juan/John Bautista Montoya (the son of Jose Martin Montoya and Maria Antonia Cordova) and Bertha Lloyda Welch (the daughter of Eliza).

There aren’t that many Leatherwood families in Coquille, Oregon (where his father is from), and his father appears to have an older brother also named John E. Leatherwood.
The man’s wife’s name was Sara.
A mutt, definitely. If so, the non-European admixture has to be on his father’s side.
Really native american?
