Fair Warning: There is very little on the internet about Sarah Nancy Yellow Bird Brown Ward. The reason? She has been merged and assumed to be Nan-ye-hi so often that she is nearly lost. Please help revive her!

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Sarah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Sarah:

This profile need serious help; the bio makes no sense and contradicts the data fields. This woman has no connection to the Cherokee Nation or to any Delaware Indian. The Native American claims are pure fiction and should be removed or discussed in Research Notes. Was she Sarah or Nancy? Did she even exist? Was her father James Ward or her husband James Ward? How did she get married in Virginia if she lived and died in North Carolina?

The Cherokee claims for this person are unsupported by any facts or documentation. Bertie County is hundreds of miles from the Cherokee Nation. Oconostota has no known modern descendants. His wife is unknown. There never was a person named “Chief Red Feather.”

Maghpiway Or Red Feather is listed as a signer on a treaty with the Wyandots for the Delaware 1795 he did exist he just was not Cherokee.

Anybody made progress On Nancy? I am her 7th great grand daughter. I'd love to know anything at all or help however possible.

Unknown-348221 and Brown-28827 are not ready to be merged because: Husbands in the two records have quite different birth dates. Not clear if the two records are representing the same person without further data.
posted by CJ Livingston
I have found that the James Ward who was married to Sarah Yellowbird never had children with her. Both had children from other marriages. James Ward jr. is from an earlier marriage. No primary sources have been provided to validate the claims.

This profile is questionable. Use with caution.

Is there documentation to go along with that information, Raymond?

Deleted your other post as the info was already in the biography.
