In 1926, she applied for the Cherokee Baker Rolls, claiming that her grandmother was captured, and her father James Brown was b in captivity and was 1/2 Cherokee, explaining her habits. She lived in a shack across the street from her husband's two-story house, slept on corn shucks. Shack was known as "birthing shack." Her mother is confirmed as Anna Kelley, who claimed to have married James Brown in McMinn Co TN, which was historically Cherokee before the Removal.
