This profile represents the Shawnee wife, possibly named "Sutawney" or "Tame Doe," of John Ward, a white man taken captive (at the age of 3) by and remained with the Shawnee. While one source does indicate that John "married among the Indians," [1] her name and the names of offspring (if any) appear to be Internet inventions.
We seek reliable sources that identify the name of John Ward's Shawnee wife and the names of his children.
Some online sites conflate this Shawnee woman with the Cherokee mother of Nancy Nanyehi Ward, who was born in what are now North Carolina and Tennessee. A fictional account of Nancy Ward also named her mother as "Tame Doe."[3]
