Samuel W. Brown, Sr. from Wealaka

By Mark Maxey and William Breckenridge

A prominent member of the Yuchi in the Creek Nation, after the removal to the Indian territory, was Chief Samuel W. Brown, Sr., who was born in Van Buren, Arkansas, in June 1843. He was the eldest son of S. W. Williams, a lieutenant in the United States Army. Brown's mother called Suttah was a sister of Chief Tissoso of the Yuchi. She was the granddaughter of Cosenna Barnard or "Cussinne Barnett", a prominent leader among the Yuchi. Yuchi Chief Brown, Sr., maintained his home near Jenks where he kept "the trophies of his long eventful life" for he lived to the age of ninety-two years. One who knew him well described him as low, heavy set man with a fair complexion.
