Biography

This profile represents the wife of William Black (1720-1799), a man born in Scotland and who died in Pennsylvania.

A previous version of this profile claimed, without source, that she was born in Cherokee, Alabama in 1720 and died in Tennessee in 1783, places that are inconsistent with a wife of a man who lived and died in Pennsylvania.

Research Notes

I am also told that "There are no records of any Cherokee women this early" and been ordered to remove the record. I have to say that logic dictates that "there are no records" does not indicate that she never existed, so I will leave this profile up, in all its uncertainty in the hopes that some future person may discover the facts. --Black-6579

Project Leader Notes:
* There is no request to remove this record, but to change the name fields.
* I have removed "Amatoya" as nickname as this is a Cherokee word applying to a person of the male gender.
* I have changed her last name at birth to Unknown, as there was no Moytoy family, only a single individual Cherokee male by that name.

I am told that she worked on it all her life and visited cemeteries all over the southeast USA. -- Black-6579

No one is asking that this profile be removed, but “Amatoya” Moytoy was a Cherokee chief who lived from about 1680-1741. “Moytoy” isn’t a surname, so until her maiden name is known or she is documented as Cherokee she should be Ann Unknown Black.

Lacking a response from the profile manager concerning her names and associations, I am updating this profile.

Please change this woman's LNAB to "Unknown." There are no records of any Cherokee women this early, "Amatoya" is a man's name, and there is no way a man born in Scotland, died in Pennsylvania, had any connection to any Cherokee person. "Moytoy" is not a name, it's a title for a Cherokee chief. Whoever Ann was she was not Cherokee and had no connection to the chief called "Moytoy"
