Birth Name: Danielle Riley Keough
Place of Birth: Santa Monica, California
Date of Birth: May 29, 1989
Ethnicity: German, Norwegian, English, Scottish, along with some French, remote Dutch and Danish
Riley Keough is an American actress and model. She is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, a singer and songwriter, and Danny Keough, a musician. Riley’s maternal grandparents were Elvis Presley, a musician and actor, and actress and businessperson Priscilla Presley.
Riley’s maternal grandparents were Elvis Aaron Presley (the son of Vernon Elvis Presley and Gladys Love Smith) and Priscilla Ann Wagner (the daughter of James Frederick Wagner and Anna Lillian Iversen).
Riley’s ancestor, Morning White Dove, who was her maternal 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, Riley’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 Riley’s maternal great-great-great-grandmother, said to have been named Nancy J. Burdine, was Jewish. It is possible that Riley’s family believes this, as well. However, research has shown this claim of Jewish ancestry to be highly unlikely, and that Riley’s maternal great-great-great-grandmother was almost certainly a different woman, Celia Anne/Ann Butler. Riley’s great-great-great-grandfather, Abner Hampton Tackett, was not Jewish. Some background information on this can be found here (see “24. Blue Christmas”):
