Alcy was born about 1795 in the Cherokee Nation, the daughter of Doublehead and Kateeyah Wilson. When her father was assassinated she and her sister Susannah were attending a mission school in Hiwassie. [2] She married Giles McNulty, a white man, about 1820. They were the parents of at least two daughters Eliza[3] and Mary [4] and two sons, George and Belvin. [5] Her death date is unknown; she was alive in 1838, but does not appear on the 1851 "Old Settler" roll.
