DOUBLEHEAD is thought to have married a Delaware woman sometime in the middle of the 18th century when the Cherokee and Delaware leaders were seeking inter-tribal peace. Although no written documentation exists of this marriage, oral traditions in southern Kentucky are pleantiful.

6. CORNBLOSSOM (PAWALIN in Delaware) was born in the middle of the 18th century and, possibly 1767, and died in 1810, and thought to be buried in Pine Knot in McCreary County, Kentucky.

Tankersley’s only “original” claim about Cornblossom was the introduction of the Delaware word “Pawalin” (which means “cornblossom falls off”) as an alternative first name for Cornblossom. And therefore …. A Delaware mother.

The book "DOUBLEHEAD" by Ricky Butch Walker where he says Cornblossom was a one of two daughters of Doublehead and a Delaware woman who he married to enhance and strengthen the relationship between the the Cherokee and Chicamauga in order to strengthen his control over the Northern portion of both Kentucky and Tennessee. See pages 4, 53 and 54 in Walker's book titled "DOUBLEHEAD".
