Mrs. Sarah Wiseburn, widow of Eliah Wiseburn, died yesterday at the home of Mrs. Katie Vanderbilt*, 1007 Hill St., from a complication of ailments, aged 87 years. She was a member of Grace Lutheran Church.

*Katie Vanderbilt was Sarah's niece, the daughter of her sister Margaret Margeson.

Oral history, shared by a Margeson cousin, states that my gr-gr-grandmother, Margaret Malinda Clawson Margeson, the sister of Sarah Ann Clawson Wiseburn, was half Native American and that a lot of Native Americans relatives attended Margaret's funeral. He also states that two of his (Margeson) aunts told him of an Indian Princess being in the family tree. He was 8yrs. old when he attended his grandfather's funeral and he recalls a lot of Lenape Indians being present. Another Vanderbilt cousin also states that she was told by her aunt, (the daughter of a Margeson who married a Vanderbilt), that someone married an Indian princess.
This being the case, would also make Sarah half Native American, since she and Margaret had the same parents.
The Lenape tribe were the Native Americans which occupied New Jersey. I believe Sarah's mother, Catharine Tappin Clawson, was the full blooded Native American, but I'm still researching to prove this.
