Thanks for correcting me on Eugenia. She was actually my grandmother's sister, so she would be my great aunt. In my aunt Helen's autobiography
she said " 'Eugenia, mama's sister ,was the oldest child. Her father was Roger Lewis and Miranda Brisby, an Indian... My father used to take me back to the Pamunkey Indian Reservation . I rode in a wagon with him and when we came to West Point where the train crossed the wooden bridge , we left the wagon hitched to a team of horses on the New Kent side and walked the rest of the way."

She also said, " Following Indian custom, Grandpa Brisby carried his mother's name rather than his father's."
In addition to Eugenia and Nancy, there were six boys:Randolph, Tom, Eddie, Christopher ,Willie, and Clarence.( I have a not so good photo of some of the brothers(our great uncles) taken at a funeral.

After Anne died, W.H. Brisby married "Victoria, a full bloodied Virginia Indian" and started a second family. I have been in touch with the grand daughter whose name is Barbara Brisby Petty.who lives in Washington, D.C.This was in 2002 and she was 72 years old then.
