I have heard (and seen) rumors that Timothe Felix Demonbreun's wife MARY ANN CAGLE was of Cherokee descent. Does anyone have any information (or better yet documentation) about Mary Ann's heritage? Most accounts have indicated that her mother was known as "Cherokee Mary."
A story is told that Mary, as a young girl, was walking on the boardwalk of Nashville, Tennessee ca 1809 when Timothe Felix, son of Nashville's pioneer, Jacques Timothe de Montburn, declared, "If that girl is not spoken for, she will be my wife". Mary had Indian ancestry, thus explaining her know reputation as an excellent mid-wife and Indian herbologist. The Cagle family, while living in North Carolina, took in a young Indian girl considered terminally ill by her native tribe, later to have the Indian girl marry one of the Cagle men: thus Mary may have learned her herb doctoring from an Indian mother or grandmother.
