Robert Darty Mccaghren (son of Henry Mccaghren and Margaret) was born 1785, and died 1872. He married Sarah Elizabeth Thompson, daughter of Indian Chief Thompson and Jennie Vann.

Children of Robert Darty Mccaghren and Sarah Elizabeth Thompson are:

+Wiseman Gains Mccaghren, b. 13 Dec 1824.
Wiseman is my GG grandfather. This is only one side of three with connections to Cherokee. My other Great Grandmother is full-blood Cherokee. Is anyone else connected?? If so do you have any photos or information? Thank you in advance!

    Hello,
    Robert Darty Mccaghren is also one of my grandfathers. How can we verify Jennie Vann as Sarah Thompson’s mother ? Other evidence is greatly appreciated.

    Regards
    Brad

    I did find it is proven that Robert was married to Sarah MC Caghren who had Wiseman MC Caghren…and was originally Sarah Elizabeth Thompson daughter of Jennie Vann and Cheif Thompson. So that is proven. Which side do you go back?? I go from GG Grand: Wiseman MC Caghren to my grandmother Helen MC Caghren.

      Thank you. I know where Robert Uranus Mccaghren is buried. I have read that Jennie Vann wasn’t the mother of Sarah E Thompson. How did you prove she was Jennie Vann’s daughter? That seems to elude me. Some Cherokee books do not mention her. May you provide a source, it would be greatly appreciated.
      Thank you for responding .

    I read that Millie was born to Nana. and Jennie has one son named William. Have not seen Sarah Elizabeth’s name listed as a child. Where did you find that source?
