I believe Don Martini did a marvelous job, but much information has been found since he and the others did their books. When I found some things, I have even called and discussed it with Don Martini and others that I consider experts in their own right. Sophia was a very common name in that day and time. Earlier, someone asked if a Mitchell was involved. One Molly Folsom did marry Samuel Mitchell. I have proof of the names of the children of Molly Folsom and Samuel Mitchell in both a treaty where they were named and when Samuel had the daughters, Sophia and Alzira, "legitimatized" in MS according to the "white man's law". I was just answering the question as to where a Mitchell tied into the Folsom family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
