Biography
Jennie was Cherokee.
Jennie Foster was the daughter of Ga-ho-ga and her first husband, James Foster. She was one of the nine wives of James Vann. They were the parents of one child, Sarah. [1] Although she is not named as John Foreman's wife in Emmet Starr's History of the Cherokee Indians, researcher James HIcks believes that she was the mother of a daughter, Elizabeth, with Foreman.
It is unknown why the name "Doublehead" is associated with her. She is believed to have died before 1812.

Foster-7223 and Foster-13136 appear to represent the same person because: Little information, but there was only one Jennie Foster married to James Vann

Doublehead was semi common in the nation. Mayhaps she had a relative named as such?
