David Vann (Georgia, January 1, 1800 - December 23, 1863) was a sub-Chief who was elected Treasurer of the Cherokee Nation in 1839, 1843, 1847 and 1851.[1]
He was the second son of Avery Vann and his wife Margaret McSwain and the brother of Joseph "Teaultlo" Vann. He was the nephew of Cherokee chief James Vann and the first cousin of Joseph Vann. David Vann and his first wife Jennie Chambers had two children. He and his second wife Martha McNair, daughter of David McNair and Delilah Vann McNair, had seven children.[1]
Vann was a member of the Treaty party that supported voluntary emigration of the Cherokee people to the West, leading to the Treaty of New Echota in 1835 and the Cherokee removal in 1838-1839.[2]
Vann was killed by Pin Indians (Cherokees supporting the Union in the American Civil War) in 1863.[1]
