Lisa Marie Presley is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is the daughter of musician-actor Elvis Presley and actress and businessperson Priscilla Presley. Lisa Marie is married to guitarist Michael Lockwood. Her daughter is actress and model Riley Keough, from her previous marriage, to singer and songwriter Danny Keough. Lisa Marie was also previously married to actor Nicolas Cage and singer and songwriter Michael Jackson.
Lisa Marie’s paternal grandparents were Vernon Elvis Presley (the son of Jessie Dee McCloud/McClowell Presley and Minnie Mae Hood) and Gladys Love Smith (the daughter of Robert Lee Smith and Octavia Lavenia Mansell).
Lisa Marie’s maternal grandparents were James Wagner (the son of Harold A. Wagner and Katherine/Kathryn) and Anna Lillian Iversen (the daughter of Albert Henry Iversen and Lorraine Grace Davis).
Lisa Marie’s ancestor, Morning White Dove, who was her paternal great-great-great-great-grandmother twice over, is said to have been a Cherokee Native American woman. The story of Morning’s marriage to a caucasian man, William Mansell, Lisa Marie’s great-great-great-great-grandfather, is known among family researchers. However, it is not clear if any documentary evidence has been produced that Morning Dove White was of Native American ancestry. At least one census entry for Morning Dove White’s son, John Mansell, describes him as “White”. Several other census listings of Morning’s other children list them as “White” as well. Research has shown that it is unlikely that Morning Dove White was a Cherokee, although it is possible that she had ancestry from another tribe. Background information on this can be found here.
There is a claim that Lisa Marie’s paternal great-great-great-grandmother, said to have been named Nancy J. Burdine, was Jewish. It is possible that Lisa Marie’s family believes this, as well. However, research has shown this claim of Jewish ancestry to be highly unlikely, and that Lisa Marie’s paternal great-great-great-grandmother was almost certainly a different woman, Celia Anne/Ann Butler. Lisa Marie’s great-great-great-grandfather, Abner Hampton Tackett, was not Jewish. Some background information on this can be found here (see “24. Blue Christmas”):
