My ggggg grandmother, according to Guion Miller Eastern Cherokee applications, was an Indian

woman from Virginia named WATHACAPEE or WATHACAPA. Her husband was Leonard or

James Leonard BROWN; they were in Middle Tennessee by 1802 where my gggg grandmother

Jaley Ann BROWN was born, at a Station Camp on the Little Duck River. The BROWNs were in

Lawrence Co., TN in 1820. Jaley had a brother named Stephen BROWN, b. @ 1792 somewhere

in VA. WATHACAPEE, if the name is correct, isn’t Cherokee: there is no “th” or “p” sound in

the Cherokee language. Help please!
