She married Thomas Jefferson Pope, in Washington County, Fayetteville Arkansas, 6 Sep 1849. Nothing is known of her parents or siblings. They were not present at the Wedding and they were married by Tristrum E Babb. They were my great great grandparents and Mourning West was Cherokee Indian. Thomas Jefferson Pope might have been part Cherokee too, Cause Jane Shumate his mother, might have been Cherokee Indian. Overton Report
