Memorial of Samuel S. Blackwell
even Samuel does not list his mothers death as 1839 but 1835/36.
my father found his brother Joseph Blackwell, in Benton County Missouri and stopped to visit him and rest up our teams, while there my mother died, this was in 1835 or 1836, and my mother having the Cherokee blood, my father remained in Missouri with his children, three girls and one boy (myself) all by my mother, I have often heard my father say, that had my mother lived he would have been in the Cherokee Nation with her people, my sisters are now all living at Hermitage in Hickory
