At every single class I have taught over many years, I have to smile at the fact that so very many people gave a three brothers tale. Then too, in virtually every such tale, it is stated that one brother went West, another of the 3 owned more land than anyone "in the county", and the third bro. disappeared. I guess no sisters ever came, just groups of 3 brothers together.

There is another endearing quality we humans have and that is of transferring a memory into an inaccurate memory. Mine is: A family of 3 or 4 boys and their father were killed on a train track maybe 1/2 mile from my 1 room school house of 6 grades. I recall those 6 rows being quite vacant because there were only about 24 kids in 6 grades. Research years later has made it very clear that I was not even at that school that year, I had passed onto 7th grade at a completely different school. Yet, in my mind I was attending school there at that time.

Interestingly, my wife's entire family tells that ALL of them are 1/8th Cherokee. In fact, none now alive are more than 1/32, and my wife is 1/64th. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Oliver To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 2:13 PM Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] inaccurate stories of brothers >At every single class I have taught over many years, I have to smile >at the fact that so very many people gave a three brothers tale. >Then too, in virtually every such tale, it is stated that one >brother went West, another of the 3 owned more land than anyone "in >the county", and the third bro. disappeared. > >I guess no sisters ever came, just groups of 3 brothers together. > HMMMMMMMMMMM ???
