Biography
Catherine was Cherokee.
Caty McDaniel was born in the Cherokee Nation (East) about 1767, the daughter of the Cherokee woman known as "Granny Hopper" and a white trader named McDaniel. [1] She married a white man named John "Jack" Ward, the son of another trader named Bryant Ward about 1784. Bryant was previously married to Nan-ye-hi/Nan-yi/Nancy Ward, but John was the son of a white wife. Caty and Jack were the parents of eight children, James, George, Samuel, Bryan, Susannah, Elizabeth/Betsy, Charles, and Nancy. [2] Caty parented a child named Lucy Ward by a man named James Blair about 1805. [3] Jack Ward died about 1817 and Caty took a reservation under the Treaty of 1817 as "Caty Ward, a widow," in May, 1818. [4] Her exact death date is unknown, but she was alive (and ill) in 1823 when she relinquished her claim to the State of Georgia. [5] She died at Nacoochee Creek, Cherokee Nation (East) now White County, GA. [6]

Habersham County 11th. February 1822. To His Excellency John ClarkGovernor of Georgia Sir, Pursuant to your request I have proceeded to ascertain the persons claiming reserves under the Treaties with the Cherokee Indiansof 1817 and 1819 and to ascertain what would be the least said persons would take from the General Government for said lands provided they were entitled under said Treaties and the Government disposed to purchase; I find persons claiming as heads of Indian families under the 8th. Article of the Treaty of 1817 twenty one reserves of six hundred and forty acres each -- a large proportion of these claimants ask $2 per acre for their claims and some few ask more in consequence of their improvements.
