David Brown (translator)
David Brown (also known as ''A-wish'') (born c. 1806; died in Creek Path, Mississippi, 14 September 1829) was a Cherokee clergyman and translator.
==Biography==
Brown was born in Wills Valley, Alabama. Brown's father was of mixed race, part white part Cherokee.〔 He was educated, along with his sister Catharine, at the school of Cyrus Kingsbury. The school, which had been established by Moravian missionaries, was in Tennessee, 100 miles from their home in Wills Valley, Alabama. Brown later worked with Catharine in educating and Christianizing their native tribe.
Brown was a preacher and interpreter, and also acted as secretary of the Cherokee National government. In November 1819, he assisted John Arch in the preparation and printing of a Cherokee spelling book. He established a mission at Creek Path, Mississippi, in 1820.
In the spring of 1820, Brown went to Cornwall, Connecticut, to attend school.〔 After two years there, he spent a year at Andover Theological Seminary, preparing for ministry work. Returning to his birthplace, Brown began his missionary work converting the Cherokee people to Christianity. According to a letter written by him in 1825, the Christian religion was generally adopted by the tribe. He died before the Cherokee people were dispossessed of most of their eastern lands by the United States government in defiance of treaty obligations.
