1 Cherokee GreatGrandParent (4th generation) + 1 Cherokee 4GGrandParent (6th generation) + 1 Cherokee 6GGrandParent (8th generation) = 1/6.0952380th Cherokee
Which most thinking beings will round to 1/6th Cherokee
Pretty damn unlikely, but I'm sure some do exist. You'd just need good records dating back 8 generations (a bit more than 200 years) to prove it... 1800 is not so long ago.
This does assume that the average mother was 25 when the next child in line was born. Which allows for a few who waited till 35, and a few others who were having children at 20.
Historically, most American frontier women would have given birth to 3-5 (living) children between the ages (their own, NOT their children's) of 17 and 40. These are, of course, averages. Extremes on both ends of the spectrum do exist, but are statistically irrelevant.
