Sequoyah also engaged in hunting and fur trading until an accident left him with a physical disability. In 1815, Sequoyah married Sally Waters of the Cherokee Bird Clan. Increased contacts with white people led him to ponder over their "talking leaves" (written language), and he resolved to use it to the benefit of the Cherokee tribe.

Sequoyah by Charles Bird King, 1828. Sequoyah was a famous and influential Cherokee Leader who invented the Cherokee alphabet. Sequoyah was born to Virginia fur trader Nathanial Gist* and Wu-te-he, the daughter of a Cherokee Chief, sometime in about 1770 near the old Cherokee capital of Echota in Tuskegee (Tasgigi), now flooded by Tellico Lake.
Sequoyah met many white people. He was fascinated by their "talking leaves," which was their writing system on paper. He wanted to make an alphabet for Cherokees to communicate too. He began making it around 1809. First he tried to make a symbol for every word, like in Chinese. That required too much remembering.
Sequoyah was an important member of the Cherokee group of Native Americans . He invented a system of writing so his people could read and write in their own language. Sequoia trees were named in his honor.
