Ana-Na-Ha, Full Blood Cherokee
Adopted by Mr. and Mrs. James White in 1816. Mr. White was on a hunting trip in Upper New York State with a party of Cherokees.
Ana-Na-Ha was born and left in the woods to die because she was a sickly baby. Mr. White took her to his cabin where he and his wife raised and educated her, giving her the name Jane E. White. Ana-Na-Ha taught school in New York State for two years before marrying James R. Taylor and moving to Scioto County, Madison Township in 1888. They raised and educated ten children.
Ana-Na-Ha was an herbist and a midwife who freely doctored and cared for her neighbors
