1. Re: [BROWN-BEN-1807] Brown's in Indian Territory [1]

I am having problems with my computer and when I tried to go ba

You are right, it is Indiana, not Indians. Sorry for the false reading. That explains why I did not notice it before. Thanks for the correction. As far as Ben being Native American, your are right, there certainly is no proof. However, the description in his civil war pension file, certainly sounds like he was something besides white. I think it was 5' 7", dark hair, grey eyes, but it is all speculative Karyn Tambaymar@aol.com wrote: Karyn: I took a quick look at that page and several befor
