My research has found that Creat and Tal tsu tsa Doublehead had several children and Nigodigeyu was one of their daughters.  She and her sister Godigeyu both married Samuel Riley, Jr.... My great great great great grandpa James Riley was the son of Nigodigeyu and Samuel.

Creat Priber is an Internet myth.  She never existed.  Doublehead was  the father of Ni go di ge yu and Gu lu sti yu and their mother was an unknown Cherokee woman who was one of his many wives.  Riley was a business partner of Doublehead.  Samuel and his two wives had sixteen children.  The Riley descendants are well-documented since Samuel Riley left a will, although which children belonged to which mother is not totally clear.

Gu lu sti yu is [[Doublehead-2]]

Thank you for your information and clarifying their "unknown" mother but thank goodness for sound documentation on Samuel's part... Thank you for sharing this with me --us.  Genia
