Notes for Gaberela C(astanuella) Adeila Head:
Note: Entry Date, March 1996
This family member was known as Cassie, within her family. Information that has been passed down verbally by Cassie's children was that "Cassie" had Indian heritage in her ancestry. Some members of the Family believed it was Iroquois. Others thought it was Cherokee. Documentation of Indian heritage at this time cannot be sustained. She was not listed in the 1850 Monroe County, Mississippi Census records of the James S. Head family, but biblical family history ties her with the Head Family and is believed to be reliable data. Biblical records (believed to be Cassie's bible) lists the deaths of the following people in addition to her and William Riley Brown's six daughters. Deaths--James S. Head, Jan. 23, 1874; Rebecca M. Head Sept. 26, 1875; Elizabeth A. Watson, April 12, 1871; James Hilliard Capps, Sept. 23, 1874; William Head, Jan. 23, 1891.
