Page "Nancy Ward" Paragraph 2

Nanyehi was born as " Tsituna-Gus-Ke " ( Wild Rose ) around 1738 in the Cherokee capital, Chota ( Cherokee: “ City of Refuge ”) in what today is known as Monroe County, Tennessee, as a daughter of Tame Doe and Francis Ward “ Fivekiller ”, son of Francis Ward of Ireland.

Her mother, the sister of Attakullakulla was a member of the Wolf Clan, her father a European-American living in the Cherokee lands, where today the states of Georgia, Tennessee, South and North Carolina come together.

Some sources disagree naming a member of the Delaware tribe as her father.
