A14. Major Downing, said to have been a Major in the British army married a full blood Cherokee woman of the Wolf clan.
A15. Tradition says that after a violent storm on the coast of South Carolina a baby was found on the beach, leashed to a spar. He was well clothed and the only word that he could articulate was “Jack and upon being adopted by a family known as Wright, he was known as Jack Wright. He married Jennie Crittenden.
Virginia “Jennie” James was married to John J. Gallion and they were my great-grandparents. I remember my grandmother had “step-brothers and sisters, sometimes referred to as “half” siblings. So, I’m not sure if it was John or Jennie who married multiple times. If anyone has information about this branch of our family, I’d like to connect. Thanks
