***The Warren camp finally found evidence that her great-great-great grandmother on her mother's side was listed as Cherokee on her marriage certificate. ***

My dad and uncles claimed their Great-Grandmother was a “Cherokee Indian Princess”.

A quick Genealogy search showed she was not. There is no proof of Indian ancestry in our family.

My dad and uncles claimed their Great-Grandmother was a “Cherokee Indian Princess”.

I'm sure it's a fairly common claim in the United States. First of all, it's romantic. Second of all, it's not easily verifiable.
