My GG grandmothers name
My GG grandmothers name as it is on her gravestone was Scatchwah. Any help with this one? Cannot seem to find out anything on it. She was told to be full blooded Cherokee and would not give up her heritage to be "white" or thought of as such and when she passed away, she was buried about 1 or more miles from the church. The church refused her burial in the church cemetary because she was Cherokee Indian. I am at a loss on her name.
Her English name was Elizabeth Rogers(Rodgers). As it was on her stone, Elizabeth Scatchwah Driggers, Wife of Moses Driggers. This was in the late 1600's.
