Surnames: Shadley, Fitzgerald, Clark, Callahan
I am searching for background on Polly Shadley, who emigrated in 1837 from Alabama with husband Alexander Fitzgerald and daughters Amanda and Sarah Ann. Polly was born around 1805, Creek by blood, and submitted a bounty claim for land under her maiden name of Shadley after the death of Alex Fitzgerald, who served as a bugler under Captain McIntosh. Polly's daughter Sarah later married William Wesley Clark, probably in Arkansas, and had a daughter Mary Clark, who is my great grandmother. Emigrating with the Fitzgeralds was Amanda Callahan and her son Samuel B. Callahan, who later became very prominent in the Creek Nation in Muskogee.
