From the October 8, 2009, Chicago Sun Times.
Geneaologists have traced Michelle Obama's roots back to a 6-year-old slave girl in South Carolina, Melvinia, her great-great-great grandmother.
She eventually had a baby with an unknown white man after she was willed to him.
Dolphus T. Shields born around 1859 when Melvinia was perhaps fifteen.
Melvinia died in 1938.
