Biography

The name of the wife (or wives) of Attacullaculla was never recorded. Only three historical records mention a wife and none of them name her. In 1758, Attacullaculla requested that South Carolina Governor Lyttleton send him a cloak for his wife; in 1766, she is mentioned in a letter. In 1774, his wife accompanied him on a visit to the Moravian community at Bethabara in Salem, North Carolina where the couple listened to an organ in a church. Attakullakulla was already familiar with the instrument, but his wife insisted on seeing the workings as she feared a person was captive inside it.[1]

Sta - Paint Clan Moytoy - Cherokee Indian-1 and Cherokee-170 appear to represent the same person because: Attakullakulla also duplicated has a wife already

Oconastota-2 and Cherokee-170 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly meant to be the same woman, the wife of Attakullakulla

Oconastota-2 and Cherokee-170 do not represent the same person because: There is a better profile for the probably-mythical Nionne Ollie

Can someone change this LNAB to Cherokee so we can merge the four wives’ profiles into one?
