(Google is a good friend-found out SDA has no problem with the flag.)

You find quite a few Muscogee Creek Berryhills in Oklahoma from the Trail of Tears migration. Given aggressive Mormon missionary work among Native Americans, it wouldn't surprise me if they snagged a few, but the relation would be quite a few generations back.

Willard will drink an Irish Coffee, a beer and a blood chaser if he thinks it'll help him.
And his church will forgive him, as they all will, for deceiving the "wicked." That'd be us.
