Gua-Li-Uka ‘Hannah’ Halfbreed

Gua-li-uka was a Cherokee woman

Biography

Qualiyuka, called Gu u li si by Starr [1] was a Cherokee woman probably born about 1755, the daughter of Jennie Dougherty and a man named Crittenden. The Moravian missionaries estimated that she was about 80 in 1827. She was one of three wives of a chief called "Big Halfbreed." [2] His second (concurrent) wife was her younger sister named Chickatuata. According to the Moravians Big Halfbreed took a third wife, a young Creek woman in his old age. [3] According to Starr Qualiyuka was the mother of seven children, Lydia, Pigeon, Chinosa, Susannah, Jennie, Elizabeth, and Jesse. [4], but the Moravians suggest that some were the children of her sister.

Although Big Halfbreed apparently had a good relationship with the Moravians from their arrival in the Cherokee Nation, including enrolling his grandson George HIcks in their school in 1805 [5] when his wife decided to convert to Christianity in 1827 he did not approve. The Moravians wrote, "When she made the decision to convert, her husband, named Big Halfbreed, who is a Chief in the Nation, and to whom she had already been married for more than 50 years, became very upset about this and chased her out of the house. He took her back after awhile, but when he realized she had not changed her mind he threw her out of the house again and kicked her in anger. She remained firm in her decision to leave him …. [6] Her death date and place are uncertain, but she apparently died about the time of Removal.
