Her mother died either 1802 or 1803. Evidently, Samuel Mitchel left his two daughters with their grandparents, Nathaniel Folsom and his two wives, and moved to become Indian Agent for the Chickasaws. At least two of the three marriages of Sophia were at the homes of different Mitchell uncles. I have no idea what her Indian name might have been as the first I found on her was her marriages and she went by the name of Sophia Mitchell. When I first started researching Alzira and Sophia, there were several people that told me their surname was Folsom which I later found was incorrect. Alzira's line was much easier to research than Sophia's. It seems Sophia left her children from her marriage to Hancock with him. This is the line where the name Spain married into. Ainechihoya was one of the wives of Nathaniel and I doubt if she had two names or that a daughter would have the same Indian name as her mother.
