    3. I am looking for information on the ancestry of Caroline Farozine SKEEN (b. 4/15/1812 in Sumner Co., Tennessee; died 8/4/1875 in Panguitch, Utah). She was my grandmother's great-grandmother. Caroline was a wife of John Lowe Butler, who I believe was prominent among the early Utah pioneers. During the past several months, I have been fortunate to find some information about her father's side (Jesse Skeen (b. 11/20/1764). However, I have not found much on the background of her mother. My grandmother always told me that she was part Cherokee on her father's side. I am focusing on Caroline Farozine Skeen's line as a possible source for locating our American Indian ancestor. I had also heard that some of the Mormon's took Indian wives at some point during their migration. I suppose it is also possible that I am searching the wrong line and should look at John Lowe Butler. Can anyone provide advice or recommendations concerning this search? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My family tree is posted at > http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/e/r/i/Scott-F-Erickson/. Scott Erickson Manteca, CA
