Timothe ‘Felix’ Demonbreun (“Preacher”) son of Jacques De Montbrun and Therese Marguerite
Gilbault
•B 1/28/1789 Kaskaskia, Randolph, IL
• Nashville, TN: first white man to spend a winter in Nashville; “Demonbreun Street”
named after him
• M to Christina Rains, daughter of Nashville’s famous Indian fighter, John Rains
• A story is told that Mary, as a young girl, was walking on the boardwalk of Nashville,
Tennessee ca 1809 when Felix, son of Nashville's pioneer, Jacques Timothe de Montburn,
declared, "If that girl is not spoken for, she will be my wife". Mary had Indian
ancestry, thus explaining her know reputation as an excellent mid-wife and Indian
herbologist. The Cagle family, while living in North Carolina, took in a young Indian girl
considered terminally ill by her native tribe, later to have the Indian girl marry one of
the Cagle men: thus Mary may have learned her herb doctoring from an Indian mother or
grandmother.
