Church about 1829; removed to the Cherokee Nation with what is known as the old "Cherokee Settlers" in 1832 or '33.

At a ripe old age she has passed away, leaving a large family of children and grandchildren. She was the mother of eleven children, six of them preceded her in death; the other five, four daughters and one son, still live. Written by her pastor, J.W.C. " (published Apr 26, 1882)
