Right off the bat I'd be suspicious of the authenticity of this information in that Native Americans didn't have "princesses." That is strictly a European term and it proves that to some extent the content was filtered to relate European concepts. Everytime we see claims of descent from an "Indian Princess" it raises red flags as to the authenticity. See the RootsWeb Guide lesson on claims of Indian acestry from a "maiden" or "princess." http://rwguide.rootsweb.ancestry.com/lesson25.htm#Native%20American But, yes, I've seen three sources now that all say Alice was a Unami Indian and that she died within a few years of the marriage and had no children with Robert ZANE.

Another example of what Joan cautions us about is in regard to Mary Carlile, wife of Richard Haines Jr. who was reported to be the daughter of "an Indian Sachem." The following is from Jean Koliha (a Haines descendent) who spoke with Capt. John W. Haines who authored "Richard Haines and His Descendants" --- "He devoted a chapter to Mary pro & con and he did not believe her to be an Indian. He mentioned that a descendant of Mary's described her as having black hair. From then on Mary became an Indian. Capt. Haines also mentioned that there were articles in her inventory (spinning wheels, etc.) that an Indian would not know how to use."
