Genealogy of the Cherokee Ward Family

The Cherokee Ward family holds a significant place in the history of the Cherokee Nation, marked by the valor and leadership of Nancy Ward. Nancy, a full-blood Cherokee of the Wolf clan, first gained prominence when her husband, Kingfisher of the Deer clan, was killed in a battle with the Muskogees. Demonstrating remarkable courage, Nancy continued to fight in the battle, leading to the Muskogee’s defeat and earning her the esteemed title of Ghi-ga-u, or Beloved Woman, a position that granted her exceptional influence within the tribe. Her second marriage to Bryan Ward, a white trader, further intertwined her lineage with the Ward family, establishing a notable Cherokee ancestry. Nancy’s actions during the Revolutionary War, including her timely warnings to settlers and her efforts to aid the patriots, cemented her legacy as a pivotal figure in Cherokee and American history.
