Biography
Na-Ni "Nancy" was a Cherokee Indian; her clan is unknown.
Almost nothing is known of Na-ni or Nancy, the sister of Doublehead, including her parents and her dates of birth and death. She was married to a man called The Badger, but on September 7, 1805 she wrote to Cherokee Agent Return Meigs, "Dear Sir, this comes to inform you that Mr. Badger and his wife has parted and she is a feard that he will take some means to Distrease her he will come perhaps to you with a tale but she says believe nothing he says for the truth is not in him & their is nothing that is to bad for him to say and she can prove it by white trade. From Double head sister Nancy hite to Col Maggs Agent of War." [1]
On June 28, 1812, John Chisholm wrote in a letter: "Lost nearly all my property. 'Two negroes ran away in possesion of big Nance, Doublehead's sister. I have been constantly with Talluhuskee and his party." [2]
Big Nance Creek in present-day Lawrence County, Alabama, was supposedly named after her.
