About Thomas Brown

Research notes

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-33370

Quatie's parents are not recorded. Some believe she was a full-blood Cherokee of the Bird clan, others believed she was the daughter of Thomas Brown, the son of a white man and a Cherokee woman, still others that she was the daughter of a Scots trader named Brown and a Cherokee woman. [3]

Elizabeth Brown was born in the Old Cherokee Nation in modern-day Georgia in 1791 to Thomas Brown and Elizabeth Martin. Not much is known about her childhood. She married and had a child with a man named Robert Henley; after his death, she met her future husband, John Ross.

Elizabeth was known by many by the name of Quatie, an anglicized version of her Cherokee name, “Que-ti.” Quatie and John Ross raised five children together; their sixth child was stillborn.


Evidence needed:

Quatie ‘Elizabeth’ Ross who married William Shorey Coody and Zachariah Lewis Pogue.”
