No, the Wiki article used to write this biography is fraught with misinformation. Nancy Ward was born in about 1738 with the name Nanyehi, not Nancy Ward. She married Bryan Ward between 1754 and 1758. She was NOT the daughter of Francis Ward, and there is no documented evidence that her mother's name was Tame Doe. It is only a traditional belief, not based on evidence. Nancy Ward died in 1822, well before the Trail of Tears, therefore she did not have to "escape" the removal.
