			<blockquote>
			<p>None of the names we have for Sarah Burnett's ancestors sound remotely Indian. One of Libbie Walker Linn's brothers, [[Sherman Lloyd Walker\|Sherman]], was married to Mary Petah who was an Indian and she and her 2 sons can be found in the Indian census records in the Oklahoma area.</p>

			Mary's native American credentials (see next sections) are suspect and unproven. According to [[James Opfell]]<ref>Email to [[James Brian Lindstrom]])</ref>:

			<blockquote>
			<p>One of the family secrets is about Eliza - Betsey Walker who was reported to have been an Indian by the Wortingers in their genealogy. She was full blooded as were her other siblings, your Samuel, my James etc. I suppose this came from the Burnett rumour. [[James Walker\|James]]' brother, [[John Walker (1764)\|John]] went off to the Revolutionary War, came back and married Rachel Cochran in 1789, but her daughter, Elizabeth also Betsey was born in 1788. When Rachel wanted to renew John's pension she had testimony by John's brother Robert, in 1841, testify that she had been married as 1789, but they didn't straighten out that she had had a child before she married John, as if she had had another husband. Sometimes they had to get married by a justice as the 'supply' of preachers was not fast enough to cover the situation, and couples were exposed to the indignity of having had an 'indian' marriage. (i.e. no preacher)</p>

			<p>Mary Sarah Burnett's mother is a case in point. She, Nancy I have given the name "Holiday" because her grandfather, Rev. Moses Holiday, married Elizabeth Hall without properly divorcing his English wife, first. The child, also named Moses, became a son of Ephriam Quimby when the latter married Elizabeth, who bore him a large family. Moses was active in the operation and building flour mills for the Quimbys' Mary Sarah's mother was Elizabeth Higgins, who had a large family and all moved to eastern KY. I have heard of this 'Indian' connection from several others, but I don't believe we will find an actual Indian in the ancestry.</p>
