***********************
[Cherokee Advocate, Aug 6, 1850, Obituary of Nancy Springston]
Born c. 1775 - died July 23, 1850. Her four surviving children were at her side at the time of her death at the house of Anderson Springston. She also had 73 grandchildren.
***********************
John L. Springston's notes on his Miller Application:

Sir: My grandmother on my fathers side was named Nancy. She was a full blood Indian of the Cherokee Tribe. She had four sets of children, Springston, Foreman, Wilson and Doublehead and as I understand the case, she must have been enrolled in 1835,36. 1846 & 1833 or earlier than 1835. I want to find her name and her families by name. My grandfathers name was John. I think he had by his marriage to her three children - Anderson, my father, & Isaac & Edley Springston. My uncles by her Foreman marriage she had only one I am aware, his name was Jim or James Foreman. By her Doublehead marriage she had only one as far as I know, his name was Bird Doublehead. Her marriage to Wilson I am lost. She died prior to 1851 (this contradicts his other statement). Now as far as the Cherokee Indian record will show her I wish an examination thereof - my fatheer Anderson Springston was born 10-13-1814 and I think Isaac was older than he - Edley I am unable to say.

Nancy, my said grandma had two brothers and two sisters as I was informed by my father & mother both and I ask as to who her census shows they were - if possible - as to claim on them. I cannot be any to certain, or not enough to swear to positive. I ask for such information as is possible from the rolls showing them so I can apply with a certainty.

They were all emigrants and resided in Delaware District Cherokee Nation West and I think in Tennessee East - not far from Gunters Landing on the Tennessee River. It is my desire to apply for all possible where (the rest is illegible). This is signed 10-8-1906.
************************
In another letter he states that she had two brothers and two sisters,

Another letter states:
"Nan-que-se, my grandmother Nancy Springston's niece --
Nancy in same family, the relation bore to each I do not know--
also, Isaac, sister of my grandmother Nancy --Che-ne-lern-ky --
relationship only as fixed by the relationship existing between
the named emigrants.

Clan: Ani'-Kawi' = Deer Clan (Ga-ho-ga)

Notes for RUTH DRUMGOOLE:
Springston 1 William Springston and Nancy ["The Pain"]
Springston 1-1 Ruth Springston +John Foreman +George Wilson

The Drennan roll indicates that the above Nancy _____ is the same as Nannie Drumgoole nee Doublehead +John Foreman (Foreman 1-1, pg 363) and that both Ruth and Nancy are daughters of Alexander Drumgoole and Nannie Augusta, a full blood (who also married Richard Fields, a white man).

Thus Ruth [Drumgoole] is listed by Starr as both Ruth Springston and Ruth Drumgoole in separate references

On page 542 of Starr's History of the Cherokee, in the biography for Breedlove, Starr mentions "Mrs Malinda Chisholm married in January 1836 William [Wilson], son of George and Ruth (Springston) Wilson,..."

"Indian Territory", Gideon, 1901, page 952, biography of Winfield Scott Audrain;
..."a son of James P and Mary (Wilson) Audrain, and a grandson of George and Ruth (Dungould) Wilson."
..."Our subject's maternal grandmother, Mrs Ruth Wilson, was a daughter of Alexander and Nancy Augusta Dungould, the former a white man, the latter of Cherokee blood."
