Dear Lynda,Sorry for the delay in answering you, I just now saw your question.All I know about Mourning Braswell is what Carole Gregory told me, you will find postings for her on this forum.The story goes that as an infant or young child that Mourning was taken by the Indians, and raised by them. I do not know the circumstances of how she came to be with the Indians, Carole may be able to tell you more.The Braswell family heard of the young white girl living with the Indians and "took" her back with them to raise, I do not know what age she was when the Braswells got her. She eventually married Isham Paul. Carole wrote me the story some time ago and I have it somewhere but would have to hunt it up.There are probably things I have forgotten, but I hope this helps.
Your Cousin,
Mary Paul Barrett
