Bio: Nancy was the daughter of Chief Blue Jacket, War Chief of the Shawnee, of the Pekowi Clan, and Margaret Moore. Margaret and her sister were taken prisoner by the Shawnee in Virginia and raised as Shawnees. As an adult Margaret returned to Virginia where she gave birth to Nancy. In 1804 Margaret returned to the Shawnees to reunite with Bluejacket and their son Joseph Moore Bluejacket. She was accompanied by their daughter Nancy, now married to James Stewart of Virginia and both women stayed with the Shawnee for most of their remaining lives. There are no known descendants of Joseph Moore Blue Jacket and the four children of Nancy, who died without heirs.
Member of the Christian Church Muddy Run Meeting House on the Mad River in Logan County, downstream of West Liberty, Ohio.
