unknown Cherokee woman

2nd wife of Doublehead; mother of Two Heads Doublehead and Doublehead Doublehead.

It is probable that Doublehead killed her for being unfaithful and for telling James Vann (her sister's husband) about Doublehead's deals with the US government.

Doublehead was known as a wife abuser and was known to have killed a wife with whom he had had a violent relationship. She was a sister of James Vann's wife and was one of the reasons that Vann agreed to be the leader of the assassination group that would kill Doublehead.

She is also seen as the 5th wife, as below:

Some history sites say Doublehead was murdered for killing the baby in his wife's womb and then commenced beating her to death. (That's where he got the name "baby-killer".) Doubleheads wife, unknown Cherokee woman (B), was probably a half-sister to James Clement Vann's favorite wife, Jennie Doublehead Foster, who herself was a granddaughter of Doublehead. Other researchers say that Vann's wife Jennie was Jennie Harrison. Either way the unknown (B) wife of Doublehead would be the sister or half sister of Jennie Foster/Harrison, Vann's favorite wife.
