I found this on a Breeden web site. The note says that Amandy Smith was an heir to Bryant & Mary Breeden.
I think Amandy Smith is Amanda Breeden who married H. E> Smith in 1888 Sevier County, Tennessee

Mary Ann Panther was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. When she wasabout 3 years old, her parents died from measles and she was adopted by aWebb family. (Source: Rebecca Randall her ggggrandaughter). In the1850 census she is listed as 43, in the 1860 Census she was listed as 52and in the 1870 she was 64. The average birth year hence would be 1807(43 years before 1850, 53 years before 1860 and 63 years before 1870).
It is probable that this was the family of Joseph Webb who livednear Bryant Breeden's father, James Breeden Jr. -- J. J. Henry
