Biography

Aley was Cherokee.

Aley was born about 1810 in the Cherokee Nation; her parents are unknown. She married a Cherokee man named Young Wolf about 1830. They were the parents of a son, Ooahhusky. The family appears on the 1835 Cherokee census living at "Rocky Creek" (actually Rock Creek) next to "Rat," probably Young Wolf's father, in what is now Georgia. [1] Along with many Cherokee families, they were forced from their home by white Georgians in 1835. At that time they were farming four acres of land and had a log home. [2] Young Wolf died in the fall of 1837, before Removal. His wife and son filed a claim in 1838 for their lost property and were Removed to Indian Territory. [3] Her death date is unknown, but she has not been identified on any Cherokee censuses in Indian Territory.

Per Native American project guidelines, please change the surname for this Cherokee woman to “Cherokee” since she most likely did not have a surname at birth. This profile needs proper sourcing as well. Another Wikitree profile is not an adequate source. The only record we have for her is her 1838 payment for the loss of their property at Removal. The 1835 Cherokee census only lists the head of household, so although she was enumerated she was not named.
