About Chief Bear Hart

Married a woman of the Catawba tribe

Not the same as Chief William "Bear Heart Jackson

Some stories say William Jackson was a full-blooded Cherokee Indian, Chief Bear Heart, who took a white name and married a white woman. This is an unfortunate translation between Indian and English culture, where to Indians, saying "I'm Indian" means "I am accepted by and live with Indians" whereas to the English, "I'm Indian" meant "all my ancestors are Indian." His genealogy should make it clear that he was at the very most 1/4, and that's assuming that his grandmother Ann Jackson was full. That assumption is quite a stretch
