The Cherokee Districts are; Flint District, Going Snake District , Delaware District, Sequoyah District, was first known as Skin Bayou District, then name was changed to Sequoyah District after Drennen Roll was taken, Illinois District, Canadian District, Saline District & Tahlequah District.

1856 Cooweescoowee District, formed from the western portion of Saline District.
I have to say here, I could not figure out why we weren't finding Cooweescoowee District in the early years, well, Many Thanks to Craig County Oklahoma Gen Web, Short History of Craig County for this very helpful information.

Descendants of CAPTAIN/JUDGE JAMES BROWN

Generation No. 1

According to Dr. Emmet Starr, Alexander Brown was married to Quatie Conrad and they were the parents of John Lucien Brown. Well, after searching for years on the proof of Alexander Brown and Quatie Conrad, it is hard to switch gears even now after finding new evidence that James Brown was husband of Quatie Conrad and parents of John Lucien Brown. But, going to follow the evidence.. With the help of three of my cousins;
Conrad Fornia, Jon May and Jack Baker.

**
1. JAMES BROWN son of ALEXANDER BROWN born 1765/1767 (1/2 blood) and NANNIE BROOM (full blood) d/o CHIEF BROOM, OF BROOMTOWN. James was born 1779 in Cherokee Nation East Georgia, and died 1863 in a federal camp near Bentonville, Arkansas at about age 84 (Civil War). He married QUATIE CONRAD Abt. 1810 in Cherokee Nation East, daughter of HAMILTON "GUN ROD" CONRAD and ONAI. She was born Abt. 1790 in Cherokee Nation, East Georgia and died Cherokee Nation West.
SHARLEE'S CHEROKEE HERITAGE SITE PAGE 2 CONRAD

John Lucien Brown's parents were Quatie Conrad, a half blood Cherokee and James Brown, a 3/4 or full blood Cherokee
who was a Major in the 1814 Creek War under General Andrew Jackson, received a military bounty land warrant for his service, received one of the 1819 reservations of 640 acres, was one of the first members of the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Nation and one of the principal leaders of the nation from the 1820's to the 1860's. John Lucien and many other Cherokee joined the confederacy in the Civil War. James and Chief Ross supported the North. James died in 1863, at a federal camp near Bentonville, Arkansas. John Lucien Brown had 9 natural and 3 adopted children, and at least 6 half siblings. Source: Conrad Fornia
Notes for JAMES BROWN:
Catharine and her brother David Brown, esteemed Christian converts and missionaries to the Cherokee (and niece/nephew of Col Dick Brown), were involved with the school at Brainerd at this time as was their father John Brown of Creek Path. Brainerd, Creek Path and the area where James had his farm and toll road were all within about 50 miles of each other.

In Nov 1822, he and Samuel Canda were "permitted and authorized to open and keep in good repair, the old road from Lowry's Ferry on the Tennessee River, by way of Nickojack, through the Narrows and on by Canda's, as far as the Lookout Mountain and to assist Hicks & Co. in working over the mountain, and to establish a turnpike gate on the same."

There is another almost illegible page for James Brown in Tennessee, who appeared to be even more prosperous. From the Federal Archives in Atlanta in the early 1990's found my Conrad Fornia.
James Brown of Chickamauga County had 14 each male and female slaves.
Hair Conrad of Chickamauga County had 1 male and 6 female slaves.

Source: Conrad Fornia. "If you found this web page and you are looking for the Alexander Brown listed on the Cherokee census of 1835, this may save you some time. Emmett Starr made a few small errors in his genealogy of 38 prominent Cherokee Families that were published in his 1921 history book. The Alexander Brown mistake was first published in Dawes Commission Ap#20199 in 1908, which claimed thru "Alexander's" cousin James Hair so the "Alexander" reference went unchallenged.
The FCT 'Dawes' Commission questioned the following extensively about Alexander & James Brown and who the father of John Lucien Brown was: John Lucien Brown's children Julia Chaney and Louis Brown; John Lucien Brown's grandchildren Sadie Farbro and Jennie Morris; his nephew's George Brown and Perry Ross; his cousin JR Price and friend Robert Webber. All knew of Jim or James Brown as father or uncle to John, none knew anything about an Alexander Brown. The Court of Claims concluded that the primary source of John Lucien Brown's Cherokee Blood was Judge James Brown of Talaquah, #45 on the Skin Bayou district Drennen Roll of 1851. They determined that the Alexander Brown as mentioned in Starr's genealogy was not John Lucien Brown's father. See Aps#35, 4520, 6242 & 19194.
(Note: It was unusual for the Commission to question an applicant about their grandparents. The standard of proof was whether the applicant or the parent was listed on the Drennen or Chapman Roll. But the Commission had Emmet Star's story of the parents of John Lucien Brown and numerous claims that cited John Lucien's father as their source for 'Eastern Cherokee Blood' thru John's purported siblings. The answer to this question was the basis for some of the 'Special Case 35' decisions. See Ap #35. The question was further complicated by the appearance that John's father had a number of children with his slaves. This may have been embarrassing to some members of the family, making him the black sheep uncle rather than acknowledged patriarch of the family.)

Now to Alexander Brown:
I have found references to two Alexander Browns who could have been living on the Oostanollah river in 1835 in the region now Georgia. The first was likely the cousin of the John Brown of Creek Path (see below). This Alexander Brown was registered on the Emigration and Reservation Rolls of 1817 and acted as interpreter and witness to the 1833 Treaties of the US government with the Creeks and Cherokees. This Alexander Brown was identified by Starr in one of his early notes as the father of Judge James Brown who was born c1779. He was also identified as the father of Judge James Brown, and living in the Cherokee Nation East in 1835, by his great granddaughter Jennie Morris in an affidavit in 1906.
The second Alexander Brown was one of the last son's of John Brown of Creek Path who died about 1826 and who's son John Brown Jr died about 1822 according to another son David Brown in his memoir for his sister Catharine Brown. The younger John Brown was in the company of his nephew John Brown, son of Col Richard Brown and successor to Chief John Jolly, between 1828 and the 1840's when they led the Treaty Party first to Oklahoma Territory and then to Texas after the Removal brought the rest of the Cherokee Nation to the west.
James Brown was identified as brother-in-law to Chief John Ross in Moulton's Biography. Quatie Brown Ross was born in Paint Town in 1791 per Moulton. James was probably born about the same time and in the same location although Starr put's his birth in 1779 without a location. Starr was collecting his info in the 1890's. James was listed on the 1852 Drennen Roll. Hopefully there is an age list there. Alexander left for Virginia shortly after Quatie was born. He started a new life, marrying Violet Barton b c1776 on 2/20/1797 at Bedford Co., VA. He and Violet raised 10 children. In 1817 he decided to reclaim his Cherokee heritage and applied for the land being allocated by the government. About 1820 he moved his family to a plantation on the Oostanolah river in north Georgia where they lived until gold was found in the area. In 1835 he accepted a government offer to vacate his land and moved again, this time to Missouri. In 1835, when the census was taken his family, including six of his children who had families of their own, were living as white people. When he moved to MO, they all went together.
According to the descendents of his second family, Alexander Brown was born between 1765 and 1767. His father was named Alexander Brown, b c1737. His mother was Sarah, daughter of Chief Dragging Canoe. If that is true, and there is likely no way to prove it, Alexander would have been a second cousin to John Brown of Creek Path b c1761 who has been identified as a son of Chief Oconostota (brother of Dragging Canoe). Neither John or Alexander ever learned to write. Alexander's son James was the first Judge of the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Nation when it was formed c1822. John's son Col. Richard Brown served with distinction in the Creek War of 1814 and his children Catharine and David served with distinction as Christian missionaries. James sent at least one of his children to the same missionary school that Catharine and David attended. John named his youngest son Alexander. Alexander named his youngest son John."

Per Dr. Starr, pg 51/52, recorded @ New Echota, 10/13/1826: John Ross, James Brown , John Benge (both husbands of Quatie Conrad) are among nominees, Charles R Hicks, Archibald Fields (another husband of Quatie Conrad) & Leonard Hicks are in charge of the election in the 1st precinct in Chicamauga District. James Lowery & Robert Vann were in charge in the 2nd precinct. 3rd precinct Joseph Coodey, William S. Coodey and Robert Fields in charge. George Lowery, Andrew Ross, David Vann, David Brown (c1802-1828) and John Brown are among the nominees in Chattanooga district, with election to be held in Creek Path valley, Geo Lowery Jr, Clerk. Nominees in Coosawaytee District included Elias Boudinot, Joseph Vann, John Ridge, William Hicks and Stand Watie was a clerk. Nominees in Amohee District included The Hair (Quatie Conrad's brother), Lewis Ross, George & Thomas Fields, with John & Ezekiel Fields and T.W. Ross among the clerks.
*
Per Moulton: pg 37; In 1828, John Ross was elected Principle Chief over William Hicks 34 to 6, Geo., Lowery was elected assistant Principle Chief and Major Ridge was elected Counselor under the new Constitution. Richard Taylor, Edward Gunter and Wm., Shorey Coody were appointed delgates to Washington. Lowery was still assistant Principle Chief in 1839 during the negotiations over union with the westerners. (He was acting Principle Chief in 1846, trying to make peace with the Old Settlers per "Cherokee Cavaliers" pg 25.), 10/24/1823, Charles Hicks, Chief, appoints John Ross, Major Ridge, Elijah Hicks and George Lowery delgates to Washington. pg 228, note 1; Ross, Edward Gunter, Richard Taylor, James Brown, Samual Gunter, Elijah Hicks, 1837, delgates to Washington.
*
In 1837 James Brown served as a delegate to Washington DC assisting his brother-in-law John Ross in a last ditch effort to prevent the removal.

In 1838/39 he was leader of detachment #9 on the Trail of Tears.

Dr. Starr, pg 103 has the list of groups of emmigrants on the Trail of Tears: Hair Conrad , Elijah Hicks, George Hicks, Richard Taylor , John Benge and James Brown are listed among the leaders of the 13 groups. James' group started 9/10/1838, arrived 3/5/1839, spending 177 days on the road, started with 745 people, recorded 3 births and 34 deaths.

Taken from "Records of Eastern Cherokee Ancestry in US Court of Claims 1906 - 1910":

George's application was accepted as was that of his brother Perry Ross and sister Abbie Brown. The commission determined that "His grandmother was, Susie Wilcox, nee Brown. She was the mother of Rachel Brown, Polly, James and Thompson Wilcox. Rachel Brown was the mother of Perry. According to Mr. Starr." FCT COMM #15967. The commission also linked this family to John Lucien Brown through his Drennen roll #531 being in sequence with Elijah Hicks who was "head of the preceding group #530."
*
This basically says that John Lucien Brown, #531 Saline on the Drennen Roll was determined by the Commission to be George's mother's brother. Julia and Sadie Chaney and JR Price all claimed that John Lucien's father was Jim Brown and the Court determined he was Judge James Brown, #45 Skin Bayou on the Drennen Roll. George's mother may not have known who her father was, but she and Polly clearly knew that John Lucien was their brother and that they were related to Judge James Brown. Polly was living with John when the 1880 census was taken. George, Perry and Abbie were raised by their father's families. George and Perry were illiterate. George's father was apparently still alive in 1906. As to the first cousins: Evans could be Eben, Oscar could be Ocie, Sussic could be Sadie and Peggy could mean Quatie.

*

We know that Quatie Conrad was the mother of John Lucien Brown because it was reported as such to Emmet Starr by Starr's cousins who were cousins to John Lucien Brown through his mother. The story of Jennie Taylor, Onai and Hamilton Conrad was very specific, even though told as a family tradition. Starr didn't say which of his Wolf or Fields cousins told the story but he used it in testimony supporting at least one 1908 Dawes Application.

More About JAMES BROWN:
Fact 1: Some of Starr's early notes named James' parents as Alexander or Archibald Brown and Nancy 'Nannie' Broom, the daughter of chief Broom of Broomtown.

Fact 2: 1814, James Brown was a Captain, then Major in the Creek War of 1814, serving under Col Dick Brown and General Andrew Jackson.

Fact 3: There was no blood relation indicated between Dick Brown and James, but they were both "headmen" of the Cherokee at the time, serving together in the war, and other things make me think they were cousins. James received a military bounty land warrant.

Fact 4: He was a signer of the Chickasaw Treaty of 1816

Fact 5: He was a signer Treaty of 1819 where he was granted a 640 acre parcel

Fact 6: James Brown is mentioned as a District Judge in the records of the Brainerd School in 1822, complaining about his child's coming home from school in a 'lousy' condition.

Fact 7: James was one of the first members of the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Nation and one of the principal leaders of the nation from the 1820's to the 1860's.

Stop the Presses!!!!!!

NOTEWe think we have solved Question of the Century
Who IS John Lucien Brown's Father ???
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 We have found a document which should, by any definition, solve the riddle of who the parents of John Lucien Brown were. It is an affidavit from the Commisioner of Indian Affairs, Washington D.C. , dated September 3, 1906, in which is stated by Jennie E. Morris (nee Martin), that her Grandfather was John Lucien Brown. She further states that her Great Grandparents were James and Quatie Brown, and that her Great Great Grandfather was Alexander Brown who was in the Cherokee Nation East in 1835.

On April 29, 2006, I received this e-mail from my cousin, which started the searching for Captain and Judge James Brown. "I do have information to share, however. It is something I have been meaning to tell Sharlee about the father of John Lucien Brown.
I have gotten to know Jack Baker. He is a board member and a Cherokee historian. He is also a descendant of Hair Conrad, which means he is our cousin. He told me that John Lucien Brown's father was not Alexander Brown as identified by Emmet Starr, but was James Brown. He was a member of the Cherokee Supreme Court and is often identified as "Judge" James Brown. He appears to have been a close friend of Chief John Ross and led one of the removal detachments from Georgia in 1838-39. I don't have a copy, but in his Ross biography Dr. Gary E. Moulton states that Ross's first wife, Elizabeth "Quatie" Brown, might have been James's sister. Moulton also edited The Papers of Chief John Ross. In volume two, page 717-18, he writes: Brown, James (1779?-1863). Captain and later major in Creek War, 1813-14, in Gideon Morgan's regiment and received a military bounty land warrant for his service, 1856; signed as Cherokee "headman," 1817; member Committee, 1818-?; del. 1818, 1819, 1836, and 1837; member Supreme Court, 1823-?; head of removal detachment, 1838-39; member Constitutional Convention and signed Constitution, 1839; member Executive Council, 1842, 1853-55, and 1857-61; lived in Sequoyah District, 1850s; d. near Bentonville, Arkansas. I have a copy of "The Diary of Hannah Hicks," which appeared in American Scene, a publication of Tulsa's Gilcrease Museum. I believe it was from volume 13, number 3, 1972. On page 19 she writes from January [?] 1863, "Judge Brown . . . had died at the Federal Camp . . .""
Well this is what started all the changes...............

Notes for ELIZABETH LIZZIE MEADE:
Perhaps this is the appropriate place to speak of Elizabeth; NO one has ever speculated on whether she is white or of mixed blood, that I have ever seen written, yet she is an "OLD SETTLER."
Old Settler Roll, Saline 6 Elizabeth Brown, Delilah, Ellen, Archibald, Charles, John, Joseph.
Old Settler payment Brown, Elizabeth - John Brown son, Susie Martin daughter, Sarah E. Zelgar granddaughter, Joana Brown granddaughter, Sarah E. Skillman granddaughter, Susan D. Blakemore granddaughter, David Coody Grandson, Oce Coody Grandson, Rosa Payne granddaughter and Arther Roger grandson.

Feb 20 2001 received e-mail from BB Benge (Barbara Benge), "I unfortunately have no idea who Elizabeth Meade parents were, but she was an Old Settler, John Lucien Browns family, was out of Oostenolee River, Georgia, his mother Quatie Conrad was once married to the Wagon Master John Benge, the son of Chief Bob Benge." "Elizabeth Meade's married name was Coody then Brown. She married Archibald Coody, son of Charles Coody and Nellie Riley before 1830. She married John Lucien Brown, son of Alexander Brown and Quatie Conrad, before 1848 at Saline District, Indian Territory. She appears on the Old Settlers Roll 2 as Elizabeth Brown in 1851 at 6, Saline District. She died February 5 1867."
March 12 2001 I sent an e-mail to Barbara Benge Native American Genealogy for clarification on my part. So you are saying Elizabeth Meade Coody and John Lucien Brown married in Indian Territory (Oklahoma)? Barbara's answer, "Yes, she was an Old Settler which means that she traveled to Indian Territory before 1835, her oldest child with Coody was born in 1830, so they (Elizabeth Meade and Coody) traveled together with their children to Indian Territory, she and John Brown would have married in Indian Territory about 1848."

Notes for SARAH JONES:
Julia's mother was Sarah Jones. Not much is known about her. She was from Georgia so she could have been part cherokee though no claim to that effect was ever made.
She was John Lucien's second wife, marrying him sometime after 1855.
Julia was born in 1857. Sarah died on a wagon trail on the way to Texas in 1867, and was buried on the prairie. There is no record of her in either volume of Cherokee Roots, the index of the various rolls. Also, Lizzie WAS on the Old Settler Rolls in 1851 with her children. John had only one family member, Robert Smith, in his Drennen family group #531 SA plus #532 had Polly and Rachel Smith. Lizzie was the Old Settler by first coming out of Cherokee Nation East, wife of Coody. Then John came out on the Trail of Tears. Thus this is why they are showed in different groups..... speculation on my part here....hope someone else has the answer....But, for what ever reason, by at least 1855 Lizzie and John were not together and Sarah was now his wife...

Child of JOHN BROWN and SARAH JONES is:

7. v. JULIA PINKEY BROWN, b. December 23, 1856, OK; d. April 01, 1940.

OBITUARY
Susan Frances Brown (Colbert) was born near Virginia Hill in the Chickasaw Nation; May 4th, 1850 and died at the home of her daughter Mrs. Frank Miller, April 7th , 1917. She was a member of the prominent Colbert family of Southern Oklahoma. She married John B. Brown in 1867. Of this union seven children were born all of whom are dead except Eben, Natha, now Mrs. Frank Miller, and Amos. Mr. And Mrs Brown settled near Chelsea in 1888. Mr Brown who was better know as Cusky Brown was town marshal of Chelsea in the early turbulent times when Chelsea was under the Cherokee nation.
They moved to the Chickasaw Nation about twenty years ago where Mr. Brown died.For the past few years Mrs. Brown made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Miller where she was often surrounded by loving friends and relatives.
So Gently did she live
We scarcely knew
The simple beauty of her
Soul or guess
Save as we felt our
Own lives together grew
Near her own lines
Sweet gentleness

July 17, 2006, John Russell Farrell sent us some pictures of the Coker Cemetery taken back in 1999, where they cleaned the stones and you could read everything.
Shows Died Feb 18, 1879 28 years 10 months 12 days Joseph "C." Brown. The middle initial has always been in question as over the years with the erosion it appeared to be a "G". So with this new information we were able to go back and figure out his date of birth. Saturday April 6, 1850.

Notes for ELIZABETH JANE " BETTY" COX:
March 6, 2000 received Answer from Jim Hicks e-mail jimh@dgsys.com. I did find an interesting entry on the 1880 Cherokee Census... Cooweescoowee District, Cherokee Nation Oklahoma #172 Brown, Elizabeth A-White age 25 born 1855 refused #173 Brown, Sarah E. N-Cher age 2 born 1878
Elizabeth's enrollment was refused because she had re-married to a non-Cherokee citizen, called "Married Out." Sarah is on the 1902 Dawes as Sarah Zelgar with children, Mary, Josie and Elva. These guys were Old Settlers, so there's no Miller application. Jim Hicks

March 10, 2000 received envelope from John Farrell, enclosed; From the
Nowata Star dated April 12 1922, "Lady Passes Away" Mrs. Elizabeth Hall, aged 63 years, 10 months and 23 days passed away at 6:30 o'clock Sunday at the home of her son, Newton Hall, four and one half miles west of the city.
