Jacob Sr. then had several Cherokee wives. Sowegee is the only one noted as legal marriage with a Christian name of Mary Elizabeth. Actually, my father's side derives from Jacob Jr., and my mother's side derives from Benjamin... Scary when your family tree has a straight line... :) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
