Cherokee War 1760 - 1762

As tribes acquired firearms from Europeans and used them against neighboring tribes, a "weaponry race" began. Tribes accelerated trade to acquire firearms for military purposes. Initially the guns were purchased with furs and skins. The South Carolina Colony, established in 1670, was encouraging the tribes to trade their Native American prisoners of war which were then sold into slavery. In 1705, there were complaints from North Carolina that the South Carolina governor's trade in Native American slaves had so angered the tribes that an Indian war was inevitable.

Several tribes, including the Cherokee, assisted colonists in driving out their mutual enemy, the Tuscarora, in a war that lasted from 1711-1713. However, with the Tuscarora out of the way, the tribes begin to address their grievances with the colonists -- primarily the sale of Native Americans into slavery despite agreements to discontinue this practice.

1715 The result was a war, in 1715, in which the combined tribes in the region threatened to wipe-out the South Carolina Colony. Ultimately, the colonists were able to mass their forces and after achieving several victories the tribes began to sue for peace. Peace was made with the Cherokee who were given a large quantity of guns and ammunition in exchange for their alliance with the colony.

1721 First treaty with whites in South Carolina. In 1721, a treaty was signed with South Carolina to systematize trade but the most significant condition was the establishment of a fixed boundary between the Cherokee and the colony which was the first land cession made by the Cherokee to the Europeans. The population of the Cherokee Nation was probably 16,000-17,000 including 6,000 warriors. Although allied with the English, the Cherokee began to favor the French who had established Fort Toulouse near present Montgomery AL. The French showed greater respect for the Indians than the British who considered them an inferior race. (It should be noted that the English also considered non-English whites as inferior).

To prevent a Cherokee alliance with the French, Sir Alexander Cuming visited the prominent Cherokee towns and convinced the Cherokee to select an "emperor", Chief Moytoy of Tellico, to represent the tribe in all dealings with the British. In addition, he escorted seven Cherokees to England who met with the King and swore allegiance to the crown.

A treaty was signed obligating the Cherokee to trade only with the British, return all runaway slaves, and to expel all non-English whites from their territory. In return, the Cherokee received a substantial amount of guns, ammunition, and red paint.

Although the seven Cherokee who made the trip were presented the to the king as "chiefs", only one could be considered a prominent Cherokee -- the others being young men who went for the adventure. The chiefs of the tribe declined due to their responsibilities for hunting and defense. However, one of the young men was Attacullakulla, known as "Little Carpenter", who later became a powerful and influential chief.

Curtis Caldwell was not born until about 1730, those events led to what he had to deal with in his lifetime.

1738 Small pox hits the Indian's and eradicates 25% of the Cherokee Nation brought to Carolina by slave ships, broke out among the Cherokee with such terrible effect that nearly half the tribe died from the disease within a year. Native Americans had never been exposed to many European diseases and had no immunity to them. To make matters worse, the traditional Cherokee remedy for serious illnesses of plunging in a cold stream was the worst possible treatment.

James Adair, an English trader who lived among the Cherokee for 40 years, reported the Cherokee were so proud of their physical appearance that when they saw their disfigurement from the disease many warriors committed suicide:

Some shot themselves, others cut their throats, some stabbed themselves with knives and others with sharp-pointed canes; many threw themselves with sullen madness into the fire and there slowly expired, as if they had been utterly divested of the native power of feeling pain.

The small pox epidemic was also devastating to Cherokee religious tradition. Cherokee priests, unable to cure the disease, fell from favor. The priests felt that the tribe was being punished for adopting the white man's ways and discarded their now powerless sacred objects.

1751 Cristis Colwell enlisted on May 15, 1751 in the ranger troop of Captain John Fairchild for four months service mostly patrolling against the Cherokee along the Saluda River and around Ninety-Six settlement.

Muster Roll 20 May 1751, in William L McDowell, Documents relating to Indian Affairs (Columbia SC 1958) pg 60 and entries indexed under John Fairchild.

1751
1749 permission was granted to form a Company of Rangers to protect settlers from Indians, established in May 1751.
First company of men around Congaree settlement:
Edward Bush, Christis Colwell, Thomas Copeland, John Evans
James Fletcher, William Hart, Ebenzer Howard, David Jackson
Daniel Johnson, Richard Jones, William Law, Soloman McGrew
Wm. Moore, James Myrick, Nathaniel Partridge, Lt. Phillip Raiford
Wm. Raiford, Isaac Rhodes, Willliam Shetter, James Weston

Pressed to acquire new land to compensate for their growing loses to white settlement, the Cherokee and Creek were almost forced into a war with each other (1752-55). At stake was control of a hunting territory in northern Georgia which the two tribes had formerly shared.

1753 Small pox epidemic

1754 A treaty was signed in 1754 reaffirming the Cherokee alliance with the English and, besides the usual stipulation of land cessions, provided for British forts in the Cherokee country. In spite of the treaty, the Cherokee were obviously in contact with the French and perhaps participated with other French-allied tribes in raids against the British colonists.

1755 About 100 Cherokee accompanied a British expedition that was intended to attack the French-allied Shawnee but the campaign was abandoned when their provisions were lost while attempting to cross a swollen river. The Cherokee began home on foot in starving condition, angered at the contempt and neglect they experienced from the British. They "confiscated" some free-roaming horses belonging to Virginia colonists, feeling fully justified considering their service to the ungrateful colonists. The colonists, however, attacked the Cherokee, killing over twenty of them. The Cherokee dead were mutilated and scalped and the scalps redeemed for bounty as provided by Virginia law.

The chiefs of the Nation attempted to negotiate restitution with the colonists but the young warriors were so incensed that they began raiding border settlements. The colonists declared war, cut-off all trade, and demanded that numerous chiefs be surrendered for execution. Thirty-two prominent Cherokee, including the famous war chief Oconostota, went to Fort Prince George, in South Carolina, to attempt to negotiate peace but the British took the whole party prisoner. Chief Attacullakulla, the Little Carpenter, was able to negotiate the release of Oconostota and two others while the remaining twenty-nine chiefs remained captive.

Angered at the tactics of the British, Oconostota laid siege to Fort Prince George. The commander of the fort was called out to speak to Oconostota but when he came out he was shot and killed. The garrison of the fort immediately killed their twenty-nine captives. With war now in full swing, Oconostota's warriors begin raiding the Carolina settlements while other Cherokees laid siege to Fort Loudoun in what is now eastern Tennessee. A force of 1,600 Colonials drove Cherokees back and destroyed numerous towns. The Cherokee, however, massed a large force and in June of 1760 forced the colonists to retire leaving Fort Loudoun under siege.

1758 Incidents between Cherokee and white settlers during 1758 were hastily covered over by another treaty, but the cooperation collapsed in 1759. Almost 100 Cherokee accompanying a Virginia expedition against the Ohio Shawnee lost their provisions while crossing a river and were abandoned by their white "allies." Angry at this treatment, the Cherokee helped themselves to some of the Virginians' horses and were attacked. After killing more than twenty Cherokee, the Virginians scalped and mutilated the bodies. They later collected a bounty for the scalps.

While their chiefs rushed to arrange restitution to "cover the dead," outraged Cherokee warriors launched a series of retaliatory raids against outlying settlements. Blaming French intrigue rather than Virginia treachery, Governor Littleton of South Carolina raised an 1,100 man army and marched on the lower Cherokee settlements.

Stunned to discover the British were attacking them, the lower Cherokee chiefs quickly agreed to peace. Two warriors accused of murder were handed over for execution, and 29 chiefs were surrendered as hostages at Fort Prince George on British suspicions of their hostile intentions. Satisfied with these arrangements, Littleton left, but the Cherokee were furious. His army had barely reached Charleston when the Cherokee War (1760-62) exploded with full fury. Settlers were massacred at Long Canes, and a militia unit was mauled near Broad River.

1759 Jul 26 The Pennsylvania Gazette
Charles-Town, in South-Carolina, July 14.
Monday arrived an Express from the Settlements in the Forks of Broad-River, with an Account, that on the 22d ult. the Bodies of two Hunters, named Beeks and Trammel, were found cruelly murdered, about a Mile distant from each other: They appeared to have been killed some Days; the People there were much terrified, and persuaded themselves that the Cherokees were the Authors of this Mischief; but the Persons murdered were not scalped, nor were any Indian Tokens found near the Bodies.

Our last Letters from Cape-Fear, dated the 6th Instant, say, �That on the 1st Col. Harris arrived there Express from the back Settlements, to acquaint Governor Dobbs, that 2 or 3 Days before he left them, a Man belonging to a scouting Party that had been sent out upon the first Mischief done by the Indians in those Parts, as he was looking for his Horse, was surrounded, killed and scalped by 3 Indians; and that 2 Lads had been missing 3 Days, supposed to have been taken and carried off by the same Indians: That the back Settlers had therefore mostly quitted their Habitations, and taken Shelter in Fort Dobbs; while others were endeavouring to discover the Enemy. And that the Catawbas insinuated these Outrages were committed by Shawanese; but it was the Opinion of Col. Harris, and the rest of the white People, the Murderers were some of the Middle-Towns Cherokees. That Governor Dobbs had thereupon ordered two Detachments up for the Protection of the Western Frontiers, one of 30 Men from Capt. Bailey�s Company from Ocacock, and one of the same Number of Men from Fort Johnston, all to be under the Command of Major Waddel, who had sent 6 Swivel Guns and Ammunition before him as far as there was Water-Carriage, and marched himself the 3d Instant; and on his Arrival with this Force on the Western-Frontiers, it was hoped the Inhabitants would return to their Settlements.

Besides the Troops already in the Pay of this Province, the General Assembly have this Week resolved, that two Companies of Rangers be forthwith raised, for the Protection of the Inhabitants in our back Settlements, against the Insults and Outrages of Indians.

1759 Aug 7 Edinburgh Evening Courant
Charles-Town, June 1. Advices from fort Laudoun, by an express who arrived in town on Friday, mention, that 15 of the Cherokee Indians were returned to Settico, in the Upper Cherokees, with 22 scalps of those poor people murthered in Rowan country [sic].

We hear proper measures have been taken by the administration here, for obtaining effectual satisfaction for the outrageous breach of treaty, and impudent and barbarous insult committed by those Cherokees, in murdering and scalping the Rowan settlers.

1759 Oct 8 Monday the 8th Day of October 1759. "... A Message from the Governor by Mr. Bassnett.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,
In answer to your Message of Yesterday concerning the Rangers, I inform you that the two Troops of Rangers have been complete some time; but that commanded by Captain Fairchild was raised about the Middle of August last; and the other commanded by Captain Hunt did not get it's full Number till about the middle of last Month. They are order'd to patrol on Saludee and Broad Rivers, and their Rendezvous is at the Mouth or entrance of Reedy River in Saludee. Before they were rais'd the Cherokees kill'd two Men on Pacolet River; and also while Captain Fairchild was completing his Company they scalp'd a Woman and a Boy in those Parts which created a very great alarm among the Settlers there; many of whom left their Houses, and others were preparing to follow their Example; but on the 28th of August Captain Fairchild march'd from Ninety Six with his Company to their Assistance and I believe his presence and remonstrances were of much use to prevent a total Desertion of those Settlements.
William Henry Lyttelton....

May it please your Excellency,

As we conceive the Rangers or part of them, may, for the present be spared from patroling in the Back Settlements, and be employ'd to better purpose in gaining Intelligence of the present State of Affairs in the Cherokee Country; we humbly desire that your Excellency will please to order such a Number of them as you shall judge necessary to patrol (if practicable) as far as Fort Prince George and make inquiry concerning the situation of the Garrison at that Fort, and of the present disposition of those Indians.

Order'd That the Committee to whom His Excellency's Messages are referr'd do now sit.

And then the House adjourn'd till tomorrow Morning Nine of the Clock...."

November 24. Wednesday Evening, an Express which had been sent by this Government to Virginia, returned from thence in ten Days. Private Advices by him, do not so much as hint that any Thing is likely to be done by that Government towards our Expedition to the Cherokees: But our Letters from Cape-Fear confidently say that North-Carolina Banishes an Aid in Men, and that they are actually on their March to join our Forces at, or near, Keowee.

1760 Jan 24 The Pennsylvania Gazette
Charles-Town (in South Carolina,) Nov. 24.
OUR last Account from the Army was brought down to November 13th. They marched that Day to Twelve-Mile Creek in the following Order, viz.
1. The Advance-Guard with a Subaltern from the Regulars;
2. the Troop;
3. the Volunteers;
4. the Artillery Company, guarding the Field-Pieces and Powder-Waggons;
5. the Governor, with his Staff-Officers and Houshold;
6. the Regulars;
7. Col. Richardson�s Battalion (40 of which, and of Powell�s and Richardson�s also, were picked out to act as Light Horse;)
8. Col. Powell�s Battalion; 9. the Indians under a Captain�s Guard;
10. the Rear-Guard;
11. the Waggons and Carts, about 100 or more, a Number of Horses packed with Flour, Servants, &c. under a strong Guard of Militia; the Line of March was two Miles long.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette
� Nov. 14th. Marched in the same Order as before to Mile Creek, and encamped near Dennis Hayes�s: Several Waggons broke down, and Horses tired, could not reach the Encampment that Evening: The broken Waggons were ordered to be lighted and repaired.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette
Nov. 15th. Marched to Hallow Creek, and encamped at 1 P.M. to give Time for the Waggons that had been disabled to come up, who all (but 4) got up that Evening: Capt. Dugeon, the Engineer, went forward with the Pioneers, to repair the Road.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette
Nov. 16th. Decamped very early, and marched to Little Saludee. Here an Express met the Governor, with Accounts, that the four Cherokees, who deserted the Army at the Congarees, had got into the Nation the Day before Mr. Elliot and the Raven (Otacitte�s Runner;) that upon their Arrival, a general Alarm had run through all their Towns; and Runners were dispatched over the Hills; and also to the Creeks, with a painted Tomahawk, to desire their immediate Assistance; that the young Men were determined to die rather than deliver up a Murderer; and that the prevailing Sentiment of their Councils seemed to be, to meet our Army, with their collected Force, at Twelve-Mile River, which is exactly 12 Miles on this Side Keowee. Some of our Accounts say, that there were 5 Creek Indians in the Nation when Elliot and the Raven arrived, who immediatly pushed off as Runners; and seem to suspect, that the Raven, instead of delivering the good Talk sent by Otacitte, had given a very bad one of his own. This Day it was reported, that two Catawba�s, who had been sent by Col. Richardson in Quest of the Cherokee that got off coming with the Goods from Virginia, had killed him, and carried his Scalp into the Catawba Nation.

This Night they were more strictly watchful over the Cherokees than ever, to prevent any more of the treacherous Villains escaping. Nov. 17th.

The Army marched to Saludee old Town, where it was joined by Col. Chevellette�s Battalion, and about 40 Chickesaws, 27 of which were good Gun-men, and likely young Fellows: The Chickesaws were drawn up in a Line opposite to Chevellette�s Encampment, and received the Governor with rested Arms; His Excellency then advanced, shook Hands with and spoke to them; he told them, �That he was going to the Cherokee Nation; that he had sent for them to go with him; that he was going to get Satisfaction for Insults and Murders committed by them on his People; and desired they would keep a good Look-out, and let him know immediately if they should discover any Cherokees about but withal charged them not to kill or hurt any, till he knew whether they would give the Satisfaction he should require, or not.�

His Excellency also acquainted them, �That he had some Cherokees with him, under a Guard, which they should not molest or hurt; but desired, that if any of them should offer to run away, they should endeavour to take them, and bring them back to him.� They promised to observe all the Governor said, and that they would scout and keep a good Look-out; after which, as his Excellency went forward, they saluted him with a Volley: They were all painted and dressed in their War Attire.

This Morning the Governor sent off an Express to Major Waddel, to hasten his Junction with our Army: We have no Account that can be depended on, of the Number of Forces he will bring; some of our Letters say, 1000 Provincials only, others add to them 4 or 500 Militia; one Letter tells us, the Major was actually on the March, and as near to Keowee as our Army. At Night the Cherokees made an Attempt to send a String of white Wampum to the Chickesaws, but were prevented.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette
November 18th. The Army halted, for some of the Waggons to get up; to give Presents to the Chickesaws, and to deliver out Arms, &c. to such of the Militia as had none, who were many.

That Evening one of the Artillery-men detected one of the Interpreters carrying two Strings of Wampum from the Great-Warrior of the Cherokees to the Chickesaws; the Fellow upon being detected pretended he was sent to but a Horse with it; but that Excuse appearing very lame, Captain Gadsden sent the Wampum to the Governor, that this Affair might be further inquired into.

The whole Army, on the 18th did not consist of more than 1687 Men, including Waggoners, Negroes, &c. and not 1300 of these could be called fighting Men; of them, 10 or 12 (of the Back Inhabitants) had deserted every Night since the 15th.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette

November 19th. Arms were to continue distributing to such as wanted, and on the 20th, the whole Body was to move for Ninety six. The Chickesaws had an old Cherokee Woman Prisoner; there was an young Creek Fellow among the Cherokees, and another among the Chickesaws; the latter was married among the Chickesaws, and looked upon himself as one of that Nation, however was related to the former; the Chickesaws therefore begged the Governor would release that Prisoner to them, offering the Cherokee Woman in his Room; his Excellency accordingly released the Creek Indian, upon their promising that he should not run away, and that they would be answerable for his good Behaviour.

The Accounts received in the Camp the 16th Instant from the Cherokees, puts us in Mind of a Letter we received about 18 Days ago, from one of the Middle-towns, dated the 27th of October; wherein we were told, �That the Headman of that Town had on the 25th, early in the Morning, come to the Writer, an after first insisting that he would solemnly promise not to reveal one Thing he should tell him, to any in the Nation, acquainted him:

That all the Satisfaction the Indians, who were then going to Town, intended to offer, was, that every Murderer should be sent out in Quest of a French Scalp, or Prisoner, for every white Man he had killed; that they looked upon this running the Risque of their Lives as a sufficient Retaliation; and that if this Offer did not prove satisfactory, they were bent upon Mischief, and Mr. Gouedy�s Store was the first Place they had pitched upon to plunder: That there had been a general Conspiracy among the Indians, viz, the Upper and Lower Cherokees, Creeks, and Catawbas (the Chickesaws only were ignorant of it) and that the said Cherokees then in Town had carried several Wenches with them who could speak English well, in particular one Seers�s Wench, that had lived in Town a long Time, to give us a shocking Specimen of Indian Policy, to be put in Practice, in case the Governor should not then give them a Talk to their Mind.

December 1. There being some Chasm in our Intelligence from the Army, from the 18th to the 24th Instant, by some of our Letters not having yet come to Hand, we shall defer publishing our Advices from thence till our next. The Army was healthy and in high Spirits, but the Rifle-barrel Men continued to desert 10 and 12 at a Time. They arrived at Ninety-six the 21st ult. where they were building a Fort, and were to move forwards for Keowee as Yesterday.

1760 Jan Pennsylvania Gazette
December 8. Our Advices from the Army on March to the Cherokee Nation, from the 19th to the 28th ult. inclusive are as follows:
**November 19th. Upwards of 400 Provincial Arms were delivered out to the Militia and Regulars. Presents were also distributed amongst the Chickesaws, and more promised them when the Expedition should be over. All the Waggons got up. Orders issued to march forward the next Day, many of the People fell sick.
**November 20th. Decamped from Saludee old Town, and at Noon marched, the Morning being taken up in distributing Ammunition. At 3 P.M. halted at Half-Way Swamp. The Army then consisted of about 1400 Gunmen, above 100 Waggons, besides Carts and Pack-horses. The Chickesaws staid behind to send off their Women and Children. Sickness and Desertion encrease.
**November 21st. At 9 AM. marched for Ninety-Six: Arrived and encamped there at 2 P.M. after crossing 2 Creeks. All the Baggage and Provisions got up. The Chickesaws also joined the Camp. Here they found Chenallotohee, Brother to Tiftoe (one of Occunastota�s Party, under Guard:) He pretended to be hunting in these Parts, and that hearing of the Governor�s Approach, he came to see his Excellency; being told that the Governor would see and talk with him at another Time, he went out to fetch in his Party, and promised to return the next Day.
**November 22d. The Ground was reconnoitred for a proper Place to build a Magazine and Stockade Fort, to secure Ammunition and Provision, and a Retreat, if necessary: To save Time, Expence and Trouble, Mr. Gouedy�s Barn was fixed on for a Store house, and it was resolved to stockade it in. Chenallotohee returned to the Camp, with his Party (which some of our Letters say consisted of 17, altho� he brought in but 41) The Governor admitted him into his Presence; asked what he came about, and what he had to say? He answered, that he was hunting, and desired to see his Brother; whereupon, after being told all that his Excellency had said to the rest of the Indians in his former Talks, and that he might either continue to hunt with his Party where he was, or go home to his Nation, and tell what he saw and heard, he was soon dismissed, with leave to see his Brother Tiftoe and the rest of Occunnastota�s Party, that they were well: When he saw them, he seemed pleased that nothing more had befallen them than their Confinement; and told Tiftoe, �That the 4 Indians who deserted from the Congarees, had carried bad Talks into the Nation, and reported that they were all made Slaves; that the Indian who went from Town with Lucas, had given a good Talk; but he had heard that the Raven had also given a bad one, which had put the whole nation in a Ferment.� Tiftoe told him, �that they had all been well and kindly used since they had been with the army; and blamed the Run-aways for being abridged of Liberty:� He told him farther, �that those of his Countrymen who were concerned in killing the English, must be delivered up to the Governor. Chenallotohee then said, �he was willing to accompany his Excellency, and act with him in getting Satisfaction; and desired to be permitted to stay in the Camp all Night,� this the Governor did not think proper (for notwithstanding his fair Speeches, it was suspected he came only to see the Strength of the Army, and to converse with his Countrymen, to discover whether it would be prudent or adviseable to oppose the Army�s Passage over 12 Mile River, as had been designed) and he was ordered to depart immediately; which he did at 4 P.M. When the Order came, Tiftoe was talking to him about delivering up the Murderers, telling who they were, and who were proper Persons to seize them. Major Boud arrived this Day, with his Voluntiers. Great Plenty in the Camp, and Blankets were sold at the Charles-Town Price; yet Desertions continued. Sickness continued, but not Mortality.
**November 23d. Mr. Elliot returned form the Nation; left Keowee the Day before, and Fort-Loudoun the 15th; all well in both those Garrisons: He saw the Little Carpenter, who appeared a good deal concerned at the vigourous Measures this Government was pursuing, professed much Friendship for the English, and said, if the Governor would permit him, he would meet his Excellency at Keowee: Elliot represented the Middle Towns as peaceable and well disposed, many of the Upper and some of the Lower the same, and a good deal terrified; but said, that the Towns who had been concerned in Murders, who might make up about 500 Men, remained refractory, and made Preparations for War.

This Day some of Colonel Richardson�s Men joined him from the Borders of North-Carolina, and reported, that Major Waddel was to have set from Fort-Dobbs, with 200 Men, on the 20th; for which Report there does not however seem to be any Foundation. The Army now between 13 and 1400 strong. An Account was received that Chenallatohee was gone for Keowee, and said he would give a good Talk.

**November 24. Captain Dugeon, the Engineer, laid out the Ground for the Stockade; the Pioneers, Volunteers, Servants, &c. opened the Ditch for planting the Puncheons. Elliot was sent off an Express, it was thought, to give Permission to the Little-Carpenter to meet the Governor at Keowee; whither the Middle-town�s People had already agreed to come, though they expressed an Aversion to be joined with those of the Upper and Lower Towns (who they say are bad) lest they should not be distinguished, but treated as one People.

**November 25th. Nothing remarkable happened. Continued to work on the Stockade.

**November 26th. Two Runners arrived in the Camp from the Nation, with an English Flag, and brought a Talk, and a large Quantity of Wampum: An Express arrived at the same Time from Keowee, intimating, that these Runners were only Spies, and came to converse with their Countrymen, under Pretense of seeing the Governor; his Excellency would not see them, but ordered that they should immediately depart, and go Home. Letters from Keowee said, that the Army having so many Headmen of the Nation in Custody, had puzzled the Indians very much, and that it was the only Thing that had prevented their doing more Mischief, and committing further Acts of open Hostility. From certain Orders issued on this Day, it was thought the Governor had received Intelligence of scouting Parties being about, to observe the Motions of the Army.

**November 27th. The Banquet to the Stockade was finished, and the Gate put up. Some Volunteers from Port Royal joined the Army. An Express arrived from Virginia. Meazles, Purgings, and pleuretic Complaints, rather increased than abated.

**November 28th. The whole Army was reviewed, except the Indian Guard and Rangers, and found considerably short of the Returns; there were 1299 effective Men.

Orders were given to march early on the 29th for Keowee; during the whole march to which, every Man is to be under Arms an Hour before Day, and so continue till Sun-rise, to prevent a Surprize, that being always the Time when Indians make their Attacks. A Garrison was to be left at Fort Ninety-six, which is 90 Feet square, has Sheds on one Side of the Store-house for the Men, and will be of great Service to the Inhabitants of those Parts in all Times of Alarm. And Major Singleton was ordered to join the Army by long Marches, with 200 Men of the new Draughts.

In a Letter from Augusta, dated 24th ult. (which we were favoured with a Sight of last Saturday) it is said, �That the whole Chactaw Nation of Indians are now in the British Interest, except about 100, whom the French employed and paid as Rangers. That the Superintendent still remains at the Oakfuskees; and that the Mortar of the Oakchoys, with eighteen Warriors, is gone to join the Cherokees.�

1760 Feb In February of 1760, the Cherokee attacked Fort Prince George in attempt to free the hostages, killing the fort's commander from ambush. The fort's new commander promptly executed the hostages and fought off the assault Fort 96 also withstood an attack, but lesser outposts were not so fortunate, and the war quickly expanded beyond Littleton's resources.

He appealed for help from Lord Jeffrey Amherst, the British commander in North America (who despised Indians, friend or foe). With the French defeated, the entire British army in North America was available for use against the Cherokee. In May Amherst sent 1,200 Highlanders and Royals under Colonel Montgomery to the area. Montgomery's approach to Indian warfare: no male prisoners, but spare women and small children.

The war did not go well for the British. After burning several abandoned lower Cherokee towns, Montgomery met with ambush and defeat when he attempted to push deeper into Cherokee territory. After a long siege, Fort Loudon in eastern Tennessee fell during August, and the garrison was massacred.

1760 Feb 2 The following items were printed in the South Carolina Gazette:
From Issue February 2-9, 1760: The Long Cane Massacre

"Yesterday night the whole of the Long Cane settlers, to the number of 150 moved off with most of their effects in wagons to go towards Augusta in Georgia and in a few hours after their setting off, were surprised and attacked by about 100 Cherokees on horseback, while they were getting their wagons out of a boggy place.

They had amongst them 40 gunmen, who might have made a very good defense, but unfortunately their guns were in the wagons; the few that recovered theirs fought the Indians half an hour, and were at last obliged to fly. In the action they lost 7 wagons and 40 of their people killed or taken -- including women and children the rest got safe to Augusta whence an express arrived here with the same account on Tues. morning."

1760 Feb 7 Thursday the 7th Day of February 1760. "... And being returned, Mr. Speaker reported that the House had attended The Governor in the Council Chamber, where His Excellency had been pleased to make a Speech to His Majesty's Council and this House, of which Mr. Speaker said to prevent Mistakes he had obtained a Copy, and which Mr. Speaker read to the House, and is as follows, vizt.
Honorable Gentlemen,
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,
During your late Recess, I went with a Detachment from His Majesty's Independent Companies, and the Forces of this Colony, to the Country of the Cherokee Indians; and on the 26th Day of December last, concluded a Treaty with them at Fort Prince George the Object of which was (according to Your desires) to procure an adequate Satisfaction from them for the Murders and Outrages they had committed on the Persons of divers of His Majesty's good Subjects, and to establish a firm Peace and Friendship with them for the time to come; and I had room to hope that this End would have been accomplish'd, as they actually deliver'd up to me Four of the principal Murderers to be put to death, or otherwise disposed of as I should think proper; and, pursuant to one of the Articles of the Treaty, left Two and Twenty of their Country-men as Hostages in my hands for the delivery of the whole Number of Murderers originally demanded by me, which was Twenty four, but notwithstanding this Security for the performances of these Engagements, which is indeed one of the strongest that can be taken from any People, I have the Misfortune to learn that after attempting in vain to surprize Fort Prince George, They have lately massacred a considerable Number of His Majesty's Subjects trading in their Towns, and slain divers Inhabitants of the settled parts of this Province which they now actually infest with their Incursions. I shall lay before you such Advices as I have receiv'd concerning these Hostilities, in consequence whereof I have apply'd to his Excellency Major General Amherst for a Body of His Majesty's Troops to be sent hither, and am ready to concert with you such other Measures as may be most advantageous for His Majesty's Service, and the Safety and Welfare of the Province.

As the Support of Public Credit is of the utmost consequence at this Juncture, I trust you will grant the Necessary Supplies for strength'ning my hands against the Indians, and making good your Resolutions concerning the late Expedition, with other Expences incident thereto, and also to discharge what is due for the Ordinary Current Service of the last Year, with all Chearfulness and Dispatch; and as the Money voted for the pay of the Provincial Troops now on foot is very near expended, it will be requisite to make a further Provision for that Service.

His Majesty, whose paternal Care is ever watchful for your Good, has been graciously pleas'd to order a large Supply of Cannon with Ordnance Stores, and a Detachment of the Royal Regiment of Artillery to be sent hither, which are now arriv'd, and I doubt not you will entertain a just and lively sense of this fresh Instance of His Majesty's Princely favour and Munificence to you.

I cannot leave you without remarking, that, as the Contagion of the Small-Pox, should it spread, may render it unsafe for you to continue together, I wish you to use such Expedition in carrying through the Public Business as may enable me speedily to dismiss you to your own homes, where your presence will at this time be particularly useful to cause a due execution of the Laws, and preserve the internal quiet of the Country from any Attempts of Negroes or other Persons to disturb it and will also, I am sensible, be highly necessary for the Care of your Families and Domestic Concerns.
William Henry Lyttelton...."

NOTE for above records: A previous researcher looked at the other men of the 1751 muster list and placed them in the vicinity of Saxe Gotha Twp in modern Lexington Co. In fact a 1775 map of SC shows a major landowner named Fairchild about 10 miles west of the Twp western line, though maybe thirty miles from the twp river frontage. SC governor in early May 1751 commissioned John Fairchild to raise a troop of rangers, consisting of a Captain who was John Fairchild, a LT and 15 privates, the latter soon raised to 20. Fairchild's muster roll says he and 5 privates enlisted on 15 May with the other men being recruited from the 16th to the 19th. Curtis Caldwell as amonth the 1st five ment that Fairhild persuaded to enlist, which suggests he lived nearby. Might Curtis have even lived wtih Fairchild as a hired hand or apprentice or even an indentured servant?

1760 Feb 16-23 From Issue February 16-23, 1760:

PATRICK CALHOUN, one of the settlers of Long Canes attacked by Cherokees on the 11th informs that of 250 settlers their loss amounted to about "50 persons, chiefly Women and Children, with 13 loaded waggons and carts; that he had since been at the place where the action happened, in order to bury the dead, and found only 20 of their bodies, most inhumanly butchered; that the Indians had burnt the woods all around, but had left the waggons and carts there empty and unhurt; and that he believes all the fighting men would return to and fortify the Long Cane Settlement, were part of the Rangers so stationed as to give them some assistance and protection."

1760 Mar 1-8 From Issue No. 1334, March 1-8, 1760: MISSING CHILD

MARGARET CLARK whose husband was killed with the Long Canes settlers, seeks her daughter, JANE CLARK, 6 yrs. who was not found dead among the dead.

After this massacre the British established a fort called Fort Long Cane operated as a protection from the incursions by the Indians against the settlers. The Lower Long Cane Associated Reform Presbyterian Church and cemetery was established in 1771 near what was known as "the Calhoun settlement" according to the History of the A.R. P. Church. They have a rather extensive history of later events on this site including a list of early ministers and congregations. One of the earliest ministers of this resettlement was Dr. Thomas Clark (b. Gallaway, Scotland - d. 1792 probably in SC) who brought 300 settlers with him from Newry, Ireland, and landed in New York, July 28, 1764. The second minister of the Long Cane was Alexander Porter, April 2, 1798. He had been born in South Carolina and lived on the southeast side of Parson's mountain, now apparently called Little Mountain. There are more extensive stories in the A. R. P. site listed below.

CHARLESTOWN, (in South-Carolina) March 15.
It is reported that the Cherokees, who went out from the upper Towns, some Time since, against Virginia, &c., have made an Attempt upon Fort Dobbs, in North-Carolina; and been repulsed with some Loss. And also, That a Party of Militia on Broad River, had, on the 8th Instant, engaged a superior Number of Indians, and come off victorious, with 15 Scalps, &c But both these Reports want Confirmation.

137. Thomas Lining, Petition and Account amounting to �125 for Rent of two Rooms for Captain Roderic McKenzie. Tho' by the Resolution of the House the Committee cannot absolutely allow this Charge, being after the Time the House agreed to pay to, yet as the Person charged for was introduced into the Petitioner's House by a Public Officer, and by that means got footing there, which it was not easy to dispossess him of, they beg leave to submit the hardship he lies under to the reconsideration of the House.
138. Joseph Moody for Candles for the Guard amounting to �16:10, allowed.
139. George Rogers for Provisions and Liquor for Cherokees amounting to �17:10, the Committee have allowed him at the usual Rate of 7/6 per day which reduces the sum to be allowed to �8:5.

153. John Gordon, his Petition praying to be allowed �69 deducted from a former Account. It appears to the Committee that the Sum of �69 deducted from a former Account, was so deducted on Account of a mistake made in the said Account; and having been satisfied that the Charges in Mr. Gordon's Account were made only to the 30th November 1758 they are of opinion that the said Sum of �69 should be allowed.
154 & 155. John Gordon, two Certificates in his favour, for lodging Major Campbell and Captain Monro from 30th November 1757 to 21st May 1758, amounting to �245:14; as these are upon the same footing with the Account of Thomas Lining, the Committee beg leave to refer to the 137th Article of this Report.

175. Alexander Petrie, a Petition of his to be allowed for two Certificates in favour of John Elliott indorsed to him. The first, for five Kegs of Rum carried and delivered by the said Elliott to the Indians, the Committee disallow, because 'tis contrary to Law to carry Rum into the Indian Country.

1760 Apr 24 The Pennsylvania Gazette
CHARLESTOWN, (in South-Carolina) April 2.
We hear the 700 Rangers are now compleated, and continue to scout for the Protection of the back Settlements. The Forts at Ninety-six, Saluda, &c. &c. are all safe. Several of the scouting Parties have come up with divers Parties of Indians, some of whom they have killed and scalped. The Levies for the new Regiment go on. There are Reports of a second Attack on Fort Dobbs in North-Carolina. There have been no Accounts either from Fort Prince George, Keowee, or Fort Loudoun, since those published in this Paper of 5th and 12th ult, nor have we been able to learn what, or if any Assistance, the Provinces of Virginia and North Carolina will afford in reducing the Cherokees.

Then the Bill was read a Third time.

Resolved That the Bill do pass: And that the Title be "an Act for raising and granting to His Majesty the Sum of Two hundred & Forty Six Thousand, Six hundred & Ninety three Pounds, two Shillings & five Pence, which with Seventy Thousand Pounds granted for this Service by the Tax-Act makes Three hundred & Sixteen Thousand, Six hundred & Ninety three Pounds, two Shillings & five Pence to defray the Expence of the late Expedition against the Cherokee Indians & other Charges since incurred by prosecuting the War against the said Indians, and protecting the Back-Settlements of this Province; and appointing Commissioners for stamping and signing Public Orders for the more easy and expeditious issuing of the said Sum; and providing a Fund for sinking the said Public Orders in five Years by a general Tax & Assessment on the Estates, real & personal, of the Inhabitants & others interested in this Province."

Ordered, That Mr. Pringle do carry the Bill to the Council & desire their Concurrence.

A Message from the Council by Mr. Bassnett.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,
We received your verbal Answer (delivered at the Bar of our House) to our written Message of Yesterday, which extraordinary Proceeding we consider as an Insult offered to this House. You say, our proposing an Amendment to the Tax-Bill is a violation of Your Privileges, and that it is calculated to destroy the Good Harmony which at present subsists between the Council and Your House. We do assure you, that we had no other motive in proposing the Amendment, than that of suppressing a Clause from the Bill, which will by no means answer the purpose intended: This we had an undoubted right to do, as a Branch of the Legislature; And if you will look into your own Journals you will find many Instances of this House having exercised that right: Nevertheless we have most sincerely at heart the Interest of this Province; And our Public Affairs being at present in a critical Situation, we have passed the Bill, waving at this time that Right which we have an undoubted Authority to exercise.

We now acquaint you that we have resolved to take no Notice for the future of any Verbal Messages sent by your House, in answer to any written ones from us. In the Upper House of Assembly, The 19th Day of July 1760.
By Order of the House, Othniel Beale.

And also the following Message.
Mr. Speaker,
The Council have agreed to the Bill intitled "an Act for raising & granting to His Majesty the Sum of One Hundred Sixty three Thousand, Seven hundred and ten Pounds, six Shillings & one Penny Farthing and applying Seventeen Thousand four Hundred & Eighty Pounds, Eleven Shillings & five Pence (being surplus of Taxes and the Balance of several Funds in the Public Treasury) making together One hundred Eighty one Thousand, One Hundred Ninety Pounds, Seventeen Shillings & six pence Farthing, to defray the Charges of this Government from the First Day of January to the Thirty first Day of December 1759 both Days inclusive: And for other Services therein mentioned."

And then the Messenger withdrew.
Ordered, That the said Bill be ingrossed.
Resolved, That this House will not take the Councils Message into Consideration. And then the House adjourned till Monday Morning, Ten of the Clock...."

1760 Jun 19 The Pennsylvania Gazette
Yesterday also arrived an Express from Virginia, with Dispatches from Governor Fauquier, Private Letters of the 8th Instant, do not give us any Hopes that Fort Loudoun will be relieved from thence; and say, that Colonel Byrd�s Regiment is thus stationed, viz. 400 Men at Alexandria, and the remaining 300 to guard the Frontiers.

Letters of the 24th Instant, from North-Carolina, afford us no Prospect of Assistance from thence, to reduce the Cherokees.

1760 Aug 28 The Pennsylvania Gazette
CHARLES-TOWN (South Carolina) August 9.
The same Day [Tuesday last] the Hon. Edmond Atkin, Esq; His Majesty�s Agent for, and Superintendant, of Indian Affairs, &c. arrived in town from the Cherokee Country (whither he went with the Army) but last from Pine-tree Creek, on Wateree, where, we are told, he has happily settled the Affair of their Lands, so many Years depending between the Catawba Nation, and this Province and North Carolina: Almost the whole Nation was present, and unanimously approved of what was done; whereby both Provinces may reap great Benefit, as well as Individuals, and the Public in general, especially at this Juncture, because the Dissatisfaction of the Catawbas, on Account of the Lands they claimed, might have been the Means of our losing that brave and faithful Nation, who, tho� now reduced to about 100 fighting Men, are still important to the Welfare and Security of our Back Settlements. King Hagler, two Catawba Captains, and a young Warrior, accompanied Mr. Atkin down, in order to apply for the Reward granted for Cherokee Scalps, and a Prisoner.

"... David Graeme, Esq., who was returned for the Parish of Christ-Church and the Parish of Prince William, made his election to serve for Christ-Church.

William Vanderhorst, Esq., returned for the Parish of Christ-Church, appeared, and took the Oath appointed by the additional Act to the Election Act to be taken by all Members of the General Assembly; which was administred to him by David Graeme, Esq., one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace.

Ordered, That Mr. Blake & Mr. Horry do accompany Mr. Vanderhorst, & see him take the Oaths before the Lieutenant Governor, and make and subscribe the Declaration, and take and subscribe the Oath of Abjuration, pursuant to the Laws made for those purposes.

A Letter to Mr. Speaker, and the House, from Thomas Lamboll, Esq., returned for the Parish of St. Andrew, was presented to the House, & read; signifying that he would not serve as a Member of the present General Assembly.

Ordered, That a Message be prepared to be sent to desire the Lieutenant Governor & Council to issue new Writs of Election for such Parishes where Members had been chosen, & made their election to serve for other Parishes; as likewise for those Parishes where the Persons returned have refused to serve.

A Letter from George Gabriel Powell, Esq., addressed to Christopher Gadsden, Esq., was presented to the House, by Mr. Gadsden, & read; in relation to eleven head of Cattle that were impressed and lost on the late Expedition.

And then the House adjourned till Four of the Clock. P.M.

John Moore, Esq., returned for the Parish of St. Thomas & St. Dennis, appeared, & refused to serve as a Member of the present General Assembly.

And then he withdrew.

Mr. Taylor reported from the Committee who were appointed to draw up an Address to be presented to the Lieutenant Governor, on the Resolution of Yesterday, that they had prepared an Address accordingly, which they had directed him to report to the House, and he read the Report in his Place, and afterward delivered it in at the Clerk's Table; where the same, being twice read, was, with several Amendments made thereunto, agreed unto by the House, and is as follows, vid.

May it please your Honour,

We, His Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjects, the Representatives of the Inhabitants of this Province, return your Honour our sincere Thanks for your Speech deliver'd to us Yesterday: And look upon your calling a new Assembly, so soon after the Dissolution of the former, as an Instance of your good Intentions towards this Province.

It is with a Pleasure equal to the Occasion, that we receiv'd your Honour's Congratulation upon the Success that has attended the Valour of the British and Provincial Forces in the Reduction of Canada to His Majesty's Obedience: An Event long wish'd for, anxiously expected, and now happily accomplish'd by the Conduct of General Amherst; the importance of which is so manifest as to give us a clear prospect of the many Advantages to be derived from thence to all His Majesty's Subjects, and more especially to those upon this Continent.

We are not surprised, that Your Honour has been disappointed in your expectation of an Accommodation with the Cherokee Indians by the moderate Measures that have been persued: And we trust, that, for the future, the most vigorous Councils will be adopted; as it is manifest, that all overtures of Peace from them have been calculated only to amuse & deceive this Government.

We are extremely concern'd to find your Honour has not already acquainted General Amherst with our Situation; & as it is of the greatest Moment, that his Excellency shou'd be inform'd therewith as soon as possible, we depend that your Honour will lose no further Time in laying before him a full State of our Affairs: And we doubt not that, with his Assistance, join'd to the Aid we may reasonably expect from North-Carolina & Virginia, we shall make the Indians repent that they ever committed any Outrages on His Majesty's Subjects of this and the neighbouring Provinces.

As the Indians, after their first Overtures for a Peace, to which your Honour listen'd, have most treacherously & barbarously massacred Part of the Garrison of Fort Loudoun, we cannot but look upon their repeating these Overtures as an Insult upon this Government; however, if your Honour has or shou'd agree to the Proposals of the Indians for a mutual exchange of Prisoners, & shou'd send the Indian Prisoners, now in our Custody, out of Charles-town, we hope it will be with a very strong Escort: For if the Party that guards them is weak, we have reason, from the repeated treachery of the Indians, to expect that your Honour's good intentions to procure the lives & liberty of a great number of His Majesty's Subjects will be frustrated; &, that, instead thereof, an additional number of our fellow Subjects will fall into their hands: Which we are under some apprehensions may be the fate of the neglected Garrison of Fort Prince George, when we consider how long they have been in the greatest distress for want of relief.

As we are convinced, that nothing but the severest Chastisement will ever procure from that perfidious People a firm & honorable Peace, we assure your Honour that we shall not be wanting, on our part to the extent of our Abilities, to facilitate & forward those Preparations that have already been made, or such further Services as shall be necessary to be undertaken for carrying on the War with vigor; not to vindicate our honour only, but to support the common Cause of our Country, and effectually to secure the Province from the like Barbarities & Devastation for the future.

Resolved, That the said Address be presented to the Lieutenant-Governor by the whole House.

Ordered, That Mr. Mazyck & Mr. Parsons do wait upon the Lieutenant-Governor, & humbly know when his Honour will please to be attended by the House.

And then the House adjourned till to-morrow Morning, Ten of the Clock...."

1760 Oct 11 Saturday the 11th Day of October 1760.

"... According to Order, the following Message was drawn, viz.

May it please your Honours,

Several of the Members of this House having been return'd for more than one Parish, & other Gentlemen who were return'd having refused to serve as Members of this present General Assembly, we desire that your Honours will be pleas'd to issue a new Writ for the electing of a Member to serve in this present General Assembly, for the Parish of St. Philip, Charles-town, in the room of Thomas Smith, Esq., who made his election to serve for St. Paul's Parish; a new Writ for the electing of two Members to serve for the Parish of St. Andrew, in the room of the said Thomas Smith, Esq., & of Thomas Lamboll, Esq., who refused to serve; a new Writ for the electing of one Member to serve for the Parish of St. James, Goose-Creek, in the room of William Wragg, Esq., who made his election to serve for the Parish of St. John, Colleton County; a new Writ for the electing of one Member to serve for the Parish of St. Thomas & St. Dennis, in the room of John Moore, Esq., who refused to serve; a new Writ for the electing of one Member to serve for the Parish of St. Helena, in the room of Samuel Carne, Esq., who made his election to serve for St. Peter; a new Writ for the electing of one Member to serve for the Parish of Prince William, in the room of David Graeme, Esq., who made his election to serve for Christ-Church; & a new Writ for the electing of one Member to serve for the Parish of Prince Frederic, in the room of Thomas Lynch, Esq., who made his election to serve for Prince George's Parish: Which Writs we desire may be made returnable immediately.

Ordered, That the Message be considered next Monday.

Mr. Mazyck reported to the House, that the Lieutenant-Governor, having been waited upon, humbly to know his pleasure when he would be attended by the House, had been pleased to appoint Monday Morning, Eleven of the Clock, in the Council-Chamber.

Then the House took the Letter from Colonel George-Gabriel Powell to Christopher Gadsden, Esq., in relation to Eleven head of Cattle that were impressed for the service of the first Expediton against the Cherokee Indians, and lost, into consideration.

And the said Letter being read a second time;

The Resolution of the late General Assembly, of the 11th Day of July last, respecting the said Eleven head of Cattle, was read.

Resolved (upon the Question) That the said Colonel George-Gabriel Powell be discharged from being accountable for the said Eleven head of Cattle.

Notice being taken to the House, That, in the 46th & 47th Articles of the Report made from the Committee who were appointed to audit the last

Year's Accounts of the Creditors of the Public, on two Accounts of Christopher Holson, one amounting to �22:15, & the other to �18:12:6; the said Committee reported that the said Sums ought to be provided for; which Articles were severally agreed to by the House; but the said Sums had been omitted to be inserted in the Schedule to the Tax-Law.

And that in the 117th Article of the same Report, on an Account of Messieurs Laurens, Motte & Company, the said Committee recommended that the Sum of �1198:10:10, part of the said Account, being for sundry Articles furnished for the service of the Expedition against the Cherokee Indians, should be provided for; to which the House also agreed; but that the said Sum had, thro' mistake, been omitted to be inserted in the Schedule to the Law which was made to defray the expence of that Expedition.

Ordered, That the Public Treasurer do pay to Christopher Holson, Warden of the Work-House in Charles-Town, the Sum of �41:7:6, which should have been inserted in the Schedule to the last Tax-Law. And that he do also pay to Messieurs Laurens, Motte & Company, the Sum of �1198:10:10, which should have been inserted in the Schedule to the Law made for defraying the expence of the Expedition against the Cherokee Indians.

Resolved, That this House will provide for reimbursing the Treasurer the said Sums.

A Set of Rules and Orders to be observed by the Members of this House, was twice read, and agreed to by the House.

Ordered, That the said Rules and Orders be ingrossed.

Resolved, That Hopkin Price, Esq., be Cashier of this House.

And then the House adjourned till Monday Morning, Ten of the Clock...."

1760 Nov 13 The Pennsylvania Gazette
Charles-Town (in South Carolina) October 15.
The Province of North Carolina has raised four Companies, One Hundred Men each, under the Command of Col. Hugh Waddel, who are employed for the Protection of their Frontier against the Cherokees. The Head Quarters are at Fort Dobbs. Twenty of our Rangers came upon an Indian Camp, killed one Indian, and wounded another, and retook a large Quantity of Beef which the Indians had just killed.

1761 Sep 17 The Pennsylvania Gazette
CHARLES-TOWN (South-Carolina) August 19.
By letters from North-Carolina, of the 10th instant, we learn, that Colonel Waddle was marched for fort Dobbs, with such part of his regiment as was provided with arms, in order to join the Virginia forces, as soon, and at such place, as should be ordered by Col. Byrd.

1761 In early 1761, the incompetent Montgomery was replaced by Colonel James Grant. Ignoring Cherokee attempts to make peace, Grant enlisted the help of Catawba scouts in June, and soon afterwards his 2,600 man army captured 15 middle Cherokee towns and destroyed the food the Cherokee needed for the coming winter. Faced with starvation if the war continued, the Cherokee signed a treaty with the South Carolina in September that ceded most of their eastern lands in the Carolinas.

1763 A second treaty was signed with Virginia in November. The Cherokee maintained their part of the agreement and did not participate in the Pontiac uprising (1763) but did suffer another smallpox epidemic that year. They still benefited somewhat when the rebellion forced the stunned British government to temporarily halt all new settlement west of the Appalachians. Within a few years, colonial demands forced the British to reverse this policy, and begin negotiations with the Iroquois. Land cessions by the Iroquois at the Fort Stanwix (1768) opened large sections west of the Appalachians to settlement. Their generosity also included land in West Virginia, eastern Tennessee and Kentucky claimed by the Cherokee, and this forced the British to negotiate new boundaries with the Cherokee at the Treaty of Hard Labor (1768).

Ninety Six was originally a geographical term. Traders out of Charleston thought that this stopping place was 96 miles from the Cherokee town of Keowee in the Blue Ridge foothills. Following an ancient path worn by Indians, they packed firearms, blankets, and trinkets into the backcountry and swapped them for deer skins and furs. By 1700 or so this trail, known as the Cherokee Path, was a major commercial artery. Over it flowed goods essential to the prosperity of the young colony.

The region then was a wilderness paradise, with temperate climate, rich soil, vast for-ests of hardwood, clear-running streams, abundant game. After the power of the Cherokee was broken in 1761, settlers flooded into the country beyond the Saluda River. Ninety Six lay in the middle of this land boom. The first settler here was one Robert Gouedy, who opened a store in 1751. A veteran of the Cherokee trade, he parlayed that hazardous enterprise into a huge business that rivaled that of some Charleston merchants. He grew grain and tobacco, raised cattle, served as a frontier banker, and sold cloth, shoes, beads, gunpowder, tools and rum. He eventually amassed over 1,500 acres, and at his death in 1775 some 500 persons were in his debt.

On the eve of the Revolution, Ninety Six was a thriving village of 12 houses, a sizable courthouse, and a sturdy jail. At least a hundred persons lived in the vicinity, and the land was cleared for a mile around. On the question of independence, sentiment was probably even more divided than along the coast. In what has been called the first major land battle in the South, 1 ,800 loyal-ists on 18 November 1775 attacked one-third that number of patriots under Maj. Andrew Williamson gathered at Ninety Six. After several days of fighting, the two sides agreed to a truce. But patriot spirit was running high, and the low-country leaders soon mounted an expedition that swept away organized loyalist resistance. Yet crushing the King's friends did not bring peace to the backcountry. Instead, a savage war of fac-tions broke out that lasted until 1781.

Greene's siege that year left the village a smoking ruin. The departing loyalists set fire to the few buildings still standing and even tried to destroy the star fort. Within a few years a new town began to arise near the site of the old one. Taking the name Cambridge in 1787, it flourished for a while as a county seat and the home of an academy. The loss of the courthouse in 1800 started a decline from which the town never recovered. By mid-century, both old Ninety Six and newer Cambridge were little more than memories.

Note: today this is called Pacolet Rier and he lived there until his death in 1784. This Sandy alias Pacolet River can easily be foundon a modern map as the SE boundary between Cherokee and Union Counies. In Between Bullocks Creek and Sandy River, Curtis lived on Little River as records in 1768 and 1769 place him. Upper SC has various little rivers, but according to the previous Lineages researcher, this particular Little River lied in moded Fairfield Co. The proof of this is not evident to me and some other researcher, the closest we can attain this would be his early military records, it is thought that the Little River that Curtis Caldwell lived on is in modern day Newberry or adjoining Laurens Co.

1779 CALDWELL CURTIS 96dis SC NTL SC Early Census Index SCS1a551559

1779 Curtis Caldwell of Ninety Six District of Spartan Division listed as petit juryman

South Carolina Jury Lists for the Ninety-Six Judicial District - 1779
In 1778 and 1779, the Whig General Assembly of South Carolina passed legislation establishing new lists of jurors for each of the seven Judicial Districts that had previously been created by the South Carolina Royal Government in 1769. There were two lists established for each district, one for petit juries and one for grand juries. Legislation for six of the Judicial Districts, i. e., Charles Town, George Town, Cheraws, Camden, Beaufort and Orangeburg was passed in March 1778. The Legislation for Ninety-Six District was passed in February 1779.

The lists for each Judicial District were further broken down by certain geographical subdivisions within the District to more precisely identify where the jurors lived. In the case of Ninety-Six District, one of these geographical subdivisions was the "Spartan Division" which corresponded to one of the Election Districts that had been previously established in 1778; this was the Upper or Spartan Election District. The area covered by the "Spartan Division" included what are now the modern-day SC counties of Union, Cherokee and Spartanburg.

These jury lists are the closest thing available to a household census of South Carolina before the Federal Census of 1790. It should be noted, however, that not every resident of South Carolina at the time was cited in the list. Only free white males of good reputation, who owned at least some real property in the District, were eligible for jury duty. Also, all of these men were, at least ostensibly, of the Whig political persuasion. By 1778-1779, most of the politically/militarily active Loyalists and Tories had been expelled from the State or driven into hiding. Many of these people were identified in the Proclamation Lists of 1779. This fact notwithstanding, a review of the lists reveals the names of many men who, after the British capture of Charles Town in May 1780, became active Loyalists during the 1780-1782 time frame.

The main purpose of this web site is to provide at least some historical illumination on the more notable Loyalists and Rebels who resided in the Upper Saluda or Spartan Division. Accordingly, I reproduce the petit and grand jury lists for the Spartan Division below. The order of the names is the same as they appear on the original hand-written lists, which are stored at the SC State Archives in Columbia. Since the order is not alphabetical, names that appear close together on the lists probably also lived in close geographic proximity to each other.

Whig Militia Commanders' Enemies Lists of 1783

On 17 March 1783, about a year after the passage of the Estate Confiscation Act (No. 1153), the South Carolina Fifth General Assembly passed Ordinance No. 1189 entitled Disposing Of The Estates Of Certain Persons, Subjects And Adherents Of The British Government; And For Other Purposes Therein Mentioned.

According to this ordinance, the real and personal property of former citizens who had chosen to join the British were vested in the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates. It was a comprehensive act, but had no lists of names. The commanding officers of the State's militia regiments ware instructed, when asked by the commissioners, to make lists of those men who had joined the British. Men so identified had six months from the end of the legislative session to return to the State for trial. Ten (10) militia commanders made returns, resulting in a total of 689 names. These returns constitute the largest listing of Loyalists/Tories ever promulgated by the Whig Government of South Carolina.

No one really knows why Ordinance No. 1189 was passed. However, some historians have speculated that the passage of this ordinance resulted from the lowcountry planters' effort to appease the backcountry for the leniency then being shown to British merchants and to fellow lowcountry families, relatives, friends, and associates. The practical impact of this ordinance is unknown to me. To the best of my knowledge, no additional estates were confiscated as a result of being named on the militia commanders returns. However, these 1783 returns provide almost three times as many names of South Carolina Loyalists than the Confiscation Act (1782) lists.

The lists returned by the individual militia commanders are stored at the South Carolina State Archives in Columbia, under the title "Miscellaneous Papers on Forfeited Estates" at File Number S126170, Box 4. I reviewed these records in January 2002. Unfortunately, many of the original returns are now missing, including the return by Colonel Thomas Brandon of the Upper or Spartanburg Militia District. Even so, a number of years ago, the Archives personnel prepared a consolidated and alphabetized record of all the returns under the title "List of Enemies to the State - 1783." I obtained a copy of this master list and prepared a Microsoft Access database of all the Loyalists' names and associated militia commanders.

A total of 689 names were provided in the returns, that were received from the ten (10) militia commanders as follows:

1. Colonel Robert Anderson - 68 Names
2. Colonel Thomas Brandon - 120 Names see next section
3. Colonel William Bratton - 46 Names
4. Colonel John Marshall - 88 Names
5. Colonel John Purves (Purvis) - 120 Names
6. Colonel Benjamin Roebuck - 94 Names
7. Colonel Thomas Taylor - 38 Names
8. Colonel William R. Thompson - 54 Names

Rhoda married Robert Mansfield Braden. Thanks for the info.

I've been researching the Historical Papers in ancestry.com. That's where I found all the Nathan Lawrence Lankford articles. Same for the Janes family articles, as well as others. I'm interested in Thomas Janes' as his son allegedly raped my grandmother, Alice Beman Lankford, which produced my grandfather. Can't be proven though. I've haven't been able to concentrate on my personal stuff so decided to spend a little time recently just looking up Oglethorpe County articles and posting them. Just trying to give back a little for all the help I receive from others.

I found an article last week on their son, Minor Lankford Braden. See below.

News item from "The Atlanta Constitution," Atlanta, Georgia, October 9, 1876 Sheriff's Sale. Will be sold before the Court House door in the town of Decatur, in DeKalb county, on the first Tuesday in November next, one hundred and thirty acres of land, parts of lots of land number two hundred and eighteen (218) and fractional lot number two hundred and nineteen (219), in this eighteenth district of originally Henry, now DeKalb county, Said lands being the lands and plantation upon which Miner L.

February 2, 1913, The Atlanta Constitution
Mexican Veteran Died on Thursday
Miner L. Braden Was With Army That Captured City of Mexico

Miner L. Braden, veteran of the Mexican war and of the civil war, died last Thursday morning at the home of F. M. Mansfield, in Gwinnett county, at the advanced age of 92 years. He was buried in the family burying ground in DeKalb county, four miles from Stone Mountain.

Mr. Braden enlisted for the war with Mexico with the Palmetto, S.C., regiment when it was mustered in at Mobile, Ala. It was his company that first entered the captured City of Mexico. He fought in all the battles from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico under General Winfield Scott. Worn out with the long fights and marches, he fell ill and had to be brought back to his native country in a wagon.

After the Mexican war he married Miss Mary J. Milligan, who died a few years ago.

He enlisted for the civil war with the Twelfth Georgia battalion, and saw much hard fighting until his command was disbanded at Chattanooga.

There were no children. He has relatives scattered over the state, Mrs. Mansfield, at whose home he died, being one of his cousins.

He drew a pension from the government for his services in the Mexican war up to the time of his death.

He was born on May 16, 1822, in North Carolina, and moved to Georgia with his father when he was 6 years of age.

He was said to be the last survivor of the old Palmetto regiment, which did such valiant service under General Scott.

Christis Colwell is our ancestor father to Meron Caldwell. I have more on him I will dig out as I go through it.

I would have to guess at this point, but he had to be a young man then. Mary Marion Caldwell Hobbs is his eldest child found so far. Her dates come from the family bible. I believe that her niece was the one that put together that bible. It didn't have a birth date for her husband.

Hi Diane, I don't know!! Ruby had me post to gather what we may before our journey to SL library in June. One of the many things we are going to work on is to try to piece together the Jones boys. Thomas and Jane, and John Jones who bought property from OMC's estate sale.

Every year we SWEAR that we are taking no Caldwells. Every year about this time they start crawling out of the woodworks. We hope to get together about the middle of June for a couple of weeks at the least.

She had surgery abt the first of Feb and is going back to work this coming Monday. I am having some surgery the 5 May and hope to be able to be in Utah by the 14th of June, because son and daughter-in-law want us to babysit for a few days, but will depend on how I feel. Sure would be great if you could join us.

I forwarded you to Ruby...She knows more about Georgia bunch than I do. I am still bogged down in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois with more of the same bunch but later. :-)

Don't know if she has kept you up to date on what we worked on for the last year. We have finally pieced together a timeline and have put the properties in order. Our conclusion is that all of the property is accounted for EXCEPT the final piece on Cherokee Creek. We find no purchase, no sale, no isolvement, no records of any kind that he obtained that property, but two references in land records to it. One a few years later, someone sold property on Cherokee Creek and held back 40 acres of an origional grant of Curtis Caldwell and Matthew Caldwell and the reference of James Wilkinson's property that says "a path to Curtis Caldwell's". We have a copy of that plat and know exactly where it is.

We have looked at land plats until we are blue in the face plating neighbors and following through researching them. We feel the best referenced property (Bullock Creek) was never lived on by OMC. He went from the Congerees area to Sandy River where the first property that we have found record that he bought was from Motte. His properties then moved on up the Broad River with the last piece eventually on Cherokee Creek. In each area we have checked out adjoining property owners etc.

We do know that in the 7th volume of Council Journals by Holcomb that he had applied for a warrent of 500 acres to be surveyed. We have found no evidence that it was surveyed and platted. But so many of the records are missing. That could be the Cherokee Creek property. Also if it was seized because he was a Loyalist, there isn't much chance of settling that one way or another. We have gone through all the Loyalist Claims. But it is a known fact that thousands of the siezed properties were not in that claim. In fact a very small percent of those claims were settled by the Brittish.

In my opinion, we probably will just concentrate on the records of the Richland Co. area where we first pick him up, and continue to work on the Cherokee Creek area as much as we can find new information. I have already started checking out all of the men who were on the military lists from 1751 and 1759. It is interesting that most of them followed the same pattern first to Fairfield Co, then to Chester Co. Also a very suprising lot of them remained Loyalists and are listed in the Loyalists of the Southern Campaign by M. J. Clark.

I don't know if Ruby has sent you the document we put together "timeline and document extract" of every piece of evidence we have come across. If she hasn't I'll send you a copy.

Any thing else??? Happy hunting, George Ann
