I'm DESPERATELY trying to find out the name of the indian that our
ancestor married.  

Mary "Polly" (Magdalene) Spoonmore (Spoonamore, Spoonemore, Sponmore,
Sponmoore, Sponheimer) was born in Lincoln County in February 11,  1798 -
the daughter of Frederick Sponheimer (b. 9/1/1754 Bucks, PA) and Nancy
Harvie (daughter of William Harvie).      

Polly and her husband (Cherokee Indian) had 5 children:  

William Sanford Spoonmore (b. 1/6/1826, Lincoln Co, KY)
George Anne   (b. 10/24/1827  Lincoln CO, KY) 
Margaret Ellen (b. 7/11/1829, Lincoln Co, KY)
America "Marcia"  (b. 1/6/1831, Lincoln Co, KY) 
Thomas (b. 1833, lincoln Co, KY)    

So Polly married likely around or before 1826.  

This indian left on the Trail of Tears (we're told) around 1838 and was
living in Arkansas later than 1850 as William's grandson (George
Spoonmore) went to live with him.     

But we have a GIANT brick wall as we can't find anything out without
knowing this indian's name.    Is there ANY information to search or
anything that might give us a clue?   One posting to GenForum suggested
the name might be "Fish" but can not prove that.  I've been researching
this family for the past 14 years.  

HELP! 

THANKS so much for any assistance . . .
