Possible Native American Indian Burial Mound - Brown's Farm

This elongated cairn (rock pile)is believed to be a burial. I believed it to contain the wife of Edenborough Smith the first owner of Brown's. In an old obit, they say she was an "Indian Squaw" who died in childbirth. The child I believe to be John Smith (Civil War Vet). I believe that Brown's is the site of a former Native American village. This whole area sits near the Cambria-Westmoreland County line.

 

Edenborough Smith was a free African who settled in this part of Western Pennsylvania around 1800 or so. Some sources say he settled here in 1780. But the census data doesn't back that up.
