Ailsey ‘Olley’ Timberlake

Ailsey Crittenden Was a Cherokee woman

Biography

Ailsey Crittenden was born about 1770 in the Cherokee Nation (East). Very little is known about Ailsey (some say Ollie, who may have been a different woman). Her mother was Jennie Dougherty, a Cherokee; her father was apparently a white man named Crittenden, not Cherokee. The Moravians reported that their student Seeley/Celia Timberlake was the granddaughter of Jennie Dougherty, but did not name her mother or father. [1] She married Richard Timberlake; they were the parents of a daughter, Celia. Celia was taken in by the Crutchfield family in 1814, so her mother may have been dead by then.
