Mary Ann is reported to be 100% Cherokee, adopted by Joseph and Sarah Webb. Her birth date is estimated as 1807- death 1899. Her parent died of measles when she was about 3. From my research so far it appears she is the great grandmother of my grandfather, Alvie E Howard. My grandfather was born in Sevier county TN and died in Oklahoma City, OK. I would like to verify this research and find any other informaiton on Mary Ann Panther Webb.

I know its been several years since this was posted but I was hoping you had found out more information on Mary Ann Panther Webb. She is my Great Grandmother x6. Ive been trying to trace my Native American blood line but I have hit a wall with her. Thank you for any help you can offer. ~Rachel
She is my 4th Great Grandma. I’m looking at Ancestry and found her. If you don’t mind my asking which side does she come from, mom or dad? She comes from my mom’s side.
hello my name is christie bolt and mary ann panther webb is also my 4th great grandma i too am trying to research mary ann panther and keep hitting a brick wall….heres the story that us grandkids heard growing up from my grandma which my grandma was mary ann panthers great great grand daughter or one of her great great grandaughters her name is betty jane bigham richards this was my grandma she told us ..
mary ann panthers birth parents were native americans from the cherokee tribe and that her parents got sick from the measles and died,and white married couple whom didnt live that far from her parents im assuming adopted mary ann panther after her both parents died mary ann was about 3 years old and the adopted parents joseph and sarah webb raised her as a white girl…..
my dad had done some ancestory trying to find anything on mary ann panther and he kept hitting a wall as well,but he was told that the sevier county court house back in the day caught on fire and the fire destroyed alot of documents from back then so we are believing that mary ann panthers birth parents documents were in that fire and thats why we cant find much out of mary anns cherokee background….
id love to see a pic of mary ann panther as a child if anyone can please tell me whom has a pic of her from the webb family i dont care if its a pic of her as a child or an adult really just a pic this story of mary ann panther just seems like a mystery book to me ….i was also looking up things of mary ann panther and there was this page that said joseph webb was the driver of the wagon that was carrying mary ann panther and her parents along with whom ever on the trails of tears from tennessee to oklahoma bcuz the indians were going to a reservation from tennessee to the reservation in oklahoma and on the way to oklahoma somewhere along the way all the people died except mary ann panther and the driver of the wagon joseph webb felt srry for mary ann panther and said he was gonna take the little girl home so him and his wife sarah webb can adopt mary ann and raise her themselves as apart of their family
