Descendants of A-ma-do-ya Moytoy

22. SISTER OF NANCY⁴ WARD (TAME³ DOE, NANCY² MOYTOY, A-MA-DO-YA¹) was born Abt. 1740. She married WILLIAM TRADER SPRINGSTON Abt. 1760. He was born Abt. 1736, and died Abt. 1796.

Notes for SISTER OF NANCY WARD:
Questionable Entry: Based on the visit of the Moravian Missionary, Br Schneider, to the household of Gen Joseph Martin in 1784 where he found the half-blood wife of Joseph Martin. Her father was the white trader, William Springston, and who apparently lived in the Martin household for some years afterwards. All of these people living in the household are almost certain to be Clan related (Maternaly related) to his other known Cherokee wife, Betsy Ward, daughter of Nancy. Dr Starr also mentions Martin had another Cherokee wife, Mary Emory. Martin also had two white wives. A later visitor to Martins house [c1796] noted the presence of an old white trader, name not mentioned, living in Martins house with a Cherokee nurse. The trader was probably William Springston. There are later mentions of "Springston's Trading Post" or "Town" but not of the trader William Springston which indicates that he had died about that time.

Child of SISTER WARD and WILLIAM SPRINGSTON is:

_____⁵ SPRINGSTON, b. Abt. 1760; m. JOSEPH L MARTIN, JR, BGEN, Abt. 1783; b. September 18, 1740, Charlotteville, Albemarle Co, VA; d. December 18, 1808, Martinsville, Henry Co, VA.

Notes for JOSEPH L MARTIN, JR, BGEN:
Within Starr's biographies there is a typo in the birth year of Joseph, the text reads 1840 but should be 1740.

Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, vol V, 1784-1792, Adelaide L Fries, The North Carolina Historical Commission, p1981: "...by signs found out from him where Colonel Martin was. The Colonel soon came creeping out of an Indian sweat-house, and welcomed me in very friendly fashion. .. He took me to his lodgings with a trader, Mr Springston, who had married an Indian wife; Colonel Martin had married their daughter."\\

Early Travels in the Tennessee Country 1540-1800, Samuel Cole Williams, Watauga Press, p249: "...he explained to me by Signs in which House of the Town on the other Side which is called Sitiko, Col Martin was to be found. Having got on the other Side, I saw him soon creeping out of an Indian Hothouse, & he came to welcome me very friendly & having read Col Armstrong's Letter he said he would be at my Service in my Concern as much as possibly he could. .. He took me with him to his Lodging in the House of a Trader, Mr Springston, who has married an Indian Woman, but whose Father in Law was not at home during my Stay there."\\

Ata�-gul kalu� :
a noted Cherokee chief, recognized by the British government as the head chief or "emperor" of the Nation, about 1760 and later, and commonly known to the whites as the Little Carpenter (Little Cornplanter, by mistake, in Haywood). The name is frequently spelled Atta-kulla-kulla, Ata-kullakulla or Ata-culculla. It may be rendered "Leaning wood," from ata�, "Wood" and gul kalu, a verb implying that something long is leaning, without sufficient support, against some other object; it has no first person form. Bartram describes him as "A man of remarkably small stature, slender and of a delicate frame, the only instance I saw in the Nation; but he is a man of superior abilities."
