It's possible that she could have been a Chief's daughter (unlikely tho).. and that could have been Americanized to Princess but if you talk to tribal members etc. you'll get farther if you omit the "Princess" part. It's been postulized that white that married Indian women tended to elevate their status to somehow make it more acceptable as to why they married an Indian. Anyway just a cautionary note to omit the Princess part..
