He carried his suit to her grandmother, a dominating dowager Colbert. The old lady considered it an excellent match. Pre-emptorily se sent Peggy off to the agency where Mitchell presided with a string od well-loaded packhorses and ten Negro slaves as her dowry.

"The lovely Peggy, whose mother had been only one-eight part Indian, was as determined as her grandmother. She made the trip to Mitchell's house. That was as far as she would go. She stubbornly refused him, saying, according to Claiborne, that she 'would never marry a drinking man white or Indian.'" This is the same Samuel Mitchell who "wooed" Chickasaw Margaret "Peggy" Allen, but she refused to marry him. She married instead Simon Burney.
