Can anyone find documentation (actual historical records, not other web pages or genealogy sites) to show that either An Nee Wa Kee Ah-qua-ta-Kee "Wild Potato Clan" Moytoy or her purported husband, Felix (Ah-qua-ta-kee) Ah-qua-ta-kee Aquatake [Ah-qua-ta-kee-1] actually existed? There are numerous children attached to this woman, most of whom are also undocumented, unrelated, and/or of uncertain existence.
Cornelius Dougherty, listed as the second husband, was a real person, a trader to the Cherokee from about 1720-1770. He had children by one or more unknown Cherokee women; a daughter named Jane/Jennie and a son named James are the only ones positively documented as his. James Hicks "Descendants of Cornelius Dougherty" lists a woman of the Wild Potato Clan named A-nu-we-gi as one of Dougherty's wives. Her name is unsupported by any documentation. Hicks attempted to reverse engineer clan affiliations from later individuals whose clan was known. It's my belief that many of his early women's names were created by him simply to identify different wives in his trees since no Cherokee women are mentioned by name in early records..
The first source listed for this profile is an unsourced book by Donald Yates. Yates believes that the Cherokee are actually Middle Eastern/Jewish and has written numerous books and articles in support of his claim.
The second source is a dead link..
The third source is Emmett Starr's History of the Cherokee which does not mention either Ah nee wa kee or Felix at any point.
The fourth source is a dead link to an Ancestry tree; searching on Ancestry finds her as part of the mythical Thomas Pasmere Carpenter tree..
The fifth source is a link to an undocumented profile on Geni.
The only source for Felix is also an undocumented Geni profile.
