She was married to
Reuben "Ike??" Pharris. "Reuben Pharris was a full blooded
Cherokee Indian living in Knox Co., Tennessee. In that day it was not popular
to be part Indian, like being part black now. Reuben's own people didn't like
for one of theirs to have a white wife and family. It was told to Reuben (probably
by close relatives) that the Indian brotherhood planned to kill him and his family
this night. In fact they were to kill him and his family the next day. So Reuben
Pharris fixed a cart in a dry river bed at the back of their house and had a
big party that night -- making as much noise as they could. The noise was a
lot of music with lots of extra noise to cover up the traveling ox-cart down
the river bed to safety for his family. They knew the Indians were watching
the house that night. His family slipped away that night and they never saw
their father again. They were already far on their way to Kentucky the next
day when the Indians came to kill the Pharris family. They only found the merry
maker, Reubin, and killed him.
This ancestor Reuben Pharris and his wife, Mahala Armstrong Pharris surely were
brave parents. He gave his life for those he loved dearly. It would take a
very brave lady to travel all the distance from Knox Co., Tenn to Butler Co.,
Ky with her family -- not knowing that at any time they might be followed and
all killed."
NOTE: This story was given to me by Lola Anderson. It had been passed on to
her from Layana Price of Gainesville, Texas. It was a story told by her great
great grandmother Mahala Pharris- Evans to her grandchildren many times. Question-
how can you be full blooded Cherokee with a name like Reuben Pharris? -- L.A.Warren
Dean Lacefield, Feb 1997 - "The first record I have of Reuben Farris is
in Smith Co Tenn in 1830. 1 male under 5, 2 males 5-10 (Cavender & Tavender),
3 females under 5 - 2 females 5 to 10. Both parents age 30 to 40.
In 1840 Mahala had moved to Jackson Co with seven children. Living next door
was a family named Swift Martha Farris married Sidney Swift in 1837. Tavender
md. Francis Swift 1831.
Mrs Anderson & Mr. Lindeman have accounted for 7 of these children. One
daughter is not accounted for. apparently the youngest born between 1835 &
1840.
In 1830 they had eight children under age 10. By 1840 Mahala had only 7 children."
Cavender & Tavender were twin brothers.
