Still receiving replies to my request and I thank each and everyone. Genealogists are the BEST people. Thanks so much, Sandy Miller from annemize@comcast.net "The place --- is not the town Bear Creek, that town wasn't named until many years after her birth; to coincide with the coming of the Railroad into Marion County. The place she was born is more likely the larger Bear Creek watershed area, more likely in Colbert (then Franklin Co AL); perhaps near the present town of Cherokee, named after Cherokee Chief Doublehead married two of the daughters of Major-Colonel, CHIEF Pio-Mingo, George Colbert (1/2 Chickasaw, 1/2 Scot), and the Cherokee were "given-as-dowry" rights to the Tennessee Valley lands east of Colbert's Ferry, even to the Old Chicksaw Fields near present Huntsville AL. " Thank you for your information. Your right, I didn't expect to find a town in 1832, but possably a Cherokee settlement. I am interested in where you found your information about Chief Doublehead and Col. George Colbert. My husband's gggggrandfather's brother, Alexander Sanders (sometimes spelled Saunders) was the one that buried his hatchet in Doublehead's skull, thus killing him. Doublehead was the great grandson of A-ma-do-ya Moytoy. His grandfather, Moytoy, was the brother to my husband's gggggggrandmother, Nancy Moytoy. In my research I have found that Chief Doublehead was married five times. By his first wife, Creat Priber, he had five children. Two of their girls, Tu-s-gi-a-hu-te and Sa-li-tsi, married Col. George Colbert who was born 1764 and died 07 jan 1839 at Ft. Towson, Indian Territory. By my records he was 1/2 Chickasaw. Doublehead was not a nice man. In a drunken rage he killed one of his children while it was still in the womb and continued beating his wife until she too died. I will stop here, as I have a habit of giving people more information than they want. :-) Again, thanks for writing.
