About Chu-ee-e-qui or Big Chu-ee ‘John Lucien’ Brown

Quatie Brown – NOT Quatie Conrad - did have a husband named Alexander Brown, they had one son named John Lucien Brown. There were several Cherokee men named Alexander Brown or he could have been a white man. It’s totally unclear who he was; Guion Miller stated that is was impossible to determine when John L. Brown’s daughter applied.

The John Brown who was father of David, John, and Catherine also had a son named Alexander. That family was living in Arkansas by 1824, so it seems unlikely that he is the Alexander married to Quatie, who lived in Georgia. This John Brown was NOT the chief, or the father of the chief.

Notes for JOHN LUCIEN BROWN:

  • ...John Lucien Brown was born at Creek Path, Alabama. He was sent away to school in Kentucky...
  • The best that I can determine, the location of Creek Path Alabama, is near Guntersville Alabama. Guntersville has Alabama's largest lake, is now known as Marshall County Alabama. I also found listed that Creek Path was in the Willstown District. sm
  • Per the Web Site Conrad/Brown/Coody/Colber: John Lucien Brown married Elizabeth (Meade) Coody. John Lucien Brown died April 12, 1884 in Cherokee Nation Oklahoma Indian Territory.
  • Query that Kay Owen posted in Floyd Co. GA: My grandfather's Cherokee Citizenship Application 1896 in Indian Territory states that he got his Indian Blood from Alexander Brown who lived on Oostennella River in Floyd County GA., and is listed on the 1835 Cherokee Roll. I am looking for the names of the wives and children of Alexander. He was married to Quatie Conrad CA 1810 and they had son, John Lucien Brown. One of the Miller Rolls states that Jim Brown and Polly Brown were John Lucien's siblings. Can anyone tell me the names of Jim Brown's children?
