The Trail of TearsIt is from a painting by Robert Lindneux, which depicts the forcible removal
of some thirteen thousand Cherokee alone from their homes in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama by United States Troops, acting on the orders of President Andrew Jackson. The soldiers organized them like cattle into bands of one thousand men, women and children; then the soldiers marched them overland to their new homes in the Indian Territory federal reservations during the winter of 1838-1839. Plagued by disease and lack of food, more than 4,000 died along the way.
Hi. I have a direct relitive Elizabeth Besty Brown that was on the Trail Of Tears. John Elijah Brown was her Father. He was the son of Thomas (tomas) Brown Jr. and Ooloosta (Polly) Paint Clan a Cherokee woman. She is supposed to be the Daughter of Chief White Owl Raven, Great Eagle called Raven of Chota and Pigeon Nancy Li Moy toy Carpenter. I noticed that you are related and was wondering if you might be able to confirm this for me? Thank you,Brenda.
