while researching this same thing about the Brainerd school i found thanks to another lady on one of the rootsweb cherokee message boards that the Brainerd school is located beside the Eastgate complex in Chattanooga. also she said that she thought his middle name was Hays. i found his name on www.turtletown.com, under the heading of Senate reports - Trail of Tears payment rosters, a list of people and the the amounts of money they were suppose to have been given for giving up their land. one of my g-grandmothers was a gilbreath but i also believe there might be a connection to the Brainerd school through my gg-grandmother Rachel Carden who married Rueben Carden, Rachel was suppose to be full blood.
Polly supposely left Alexander because of his meaness and left on the trail, stopping in Ark.
