The source shown was an image copied from another tree without citation, this constituting a tertiary source which essentially has no value other than leads. In the overview, the WikiTree source cites its sources which do not suggest nor support the contention that Edith Pounds was a Deeson. In addition James Hicks in his study of the Cherokee, the primary intention of which was to elaborate and correct Emmett Starr days

Additionally, a very quick and admittedly not thorough search, no primary or secondary documentation was discovered, of Thomas Deeson and Rachel St Julien Wicker suggests that they were husband and wife, he participated in the Revolutionary War, but they had only one Daughter, Margaret Deeson who was the 1st wife of Samuel.
If you have other evidence to support the the claim that Edith Pounds actual or original surname was Deeson please present it here for discussion
