Indian Princess

This is Sarah Sukie Oocaneechi Cornstalk

Her father was a famous chief and thereby came this rendering of her. Sarah was born April 11, 1667 in Nansemond, Virginia, British Colonial America. She died August 11, 1740 and is buried at Saint Paul’s Episcopal Churchyard, Edenton Chowan North Carolina. She was a member of the Mohawk Turtle Clan.

Sarah married William Vann in 1688 in Suffolk, Virginia British Columbia America. They had thirteen children together. Sarah and William tragically died in a house fire. There is a will on file for William Vann.

This is my paternal eighth great grandmother.
