I don't see any Sarah Brown in Starr's HISTORY OF THE CHEROKEES that would fit (there are three Sarah Brown's). One Sarah married Lowrey pack Walker. Another Sarah Elizabeth Brown was born in 1854 in MO. Another Sarah Francis Brown's information is that she was wife of Wifford C. Brown and mother of William L. Brown. The only Driskell in the book is Reverend Ambrose F. Driskill, who preached in Cherokee country sometime after 1822. art brown Nisswa, MN >-----Original Message----- >From: C.Lee Driskell <cldris@lasal.net> >To: Indian-Territory-Roots-L@rootsweb.com ><Indian-Territory-Roots-L@rootsweb.com> >Date: 14 January, 1999 12:03 PM >Subject: My Native-American-Ancestors > > >>Ladies and Gentlemen, >> I am doing my family history even though I got a late start. >>I am sorry to say that our family did not share many "stories" >>about their ancestors so I am pretty much in the dark.
