Notes
Text:
Mary Downs was said to be the sister of Lavinia Downs. Lavinia is known to have been of the Creek tribe. No such stories are told about Mary, but there were few "white" women in Georgia when it was wilderness. One census record indicates she said she was born in Maryland, and a family of Downs did move from Maryland to Georgia. She (and her sister Lavinia) could have been half Creek.
