Her first husband. Kingfisher, of the Deer clan, was the father of her first two children; Catherine and Fivekiller. In a battle with the Muskogees, Kingfisher was killed and his wife, who had been laying behind a log, chewing the bullets so that they would lacerate the more; picked up his rifle and fought as a warrior throughout the rest of the skirmish. The Musko- gees were defeated and according to custom the captured spoils were divided among the victors. Kingfisher's widow was given a negro that had been captured from the vanquished and in this manner became the first slave owner among the Cherokees and by common consent she became the Ghi-ga-u, or Beloved Woman of the Cherokees, this life time distinction was only granted as an extreme mark of valorious merit and carried with it the right to speak, vote and act in all of the peace and war councils of the tribe, it also vested her with the supreme pardoning power of the tribe, a prerogative that was not granted to any other, not even the powerful peace or war chiefs. She was described even after she was an old woman as a person of re- markable beauty, poise "with a queenly and commanding presence." Her second husband was Bryan Ward, a White man, a widower, who had located in the Cherokee country as a trader. Ward had brought his son John, whose deceased mother was a White woman, and John subsequently married Cather- ine McDaniel, a half breed Cherokee woman and is the ancestor of the numerous Ward family, among the Cherokees. Bryan Ward had one daugh- ter; Elizabeth, by the Ghi-ga-u; whose first husband was Brigadier General Joseph Martin and her second husband was Hughes, a trader. Bryan Ward lived only a few years after his marriage to The Ghi-ga-u. In June 1776, Dragging Canoe, Abraham and Raven; war chiefs of the Cherokees, with about two hundred and fifty warriors each, at the instigation of the British, planned to attack the western settlements. But the effect of these raids were greatly modified by the Ghi-ga-u's timely warning to the settlers. On July 20, 1776, Abraham marching to attack Watauga, in East Tennessee, captured Mrs. Bean, wife of William Bean, the mother of the first V/hite child born in Tennessee. On the return of the war party to the Cherokee country, Mrs. Bean was condemned by her captors to be burned at the stake. She was conducted to the top of the mound that stood in the center of Tuskeegee,' which was located just above the mouth of Tellico or Little Tennessee River, where she was bound to the stake, the fagots were piled around her, but just as the torch was about to be applied, the Ghigaii appeared, cut the thongs that bound her and took .the captive to her home, HISTORY OF THH CHEROKEE INDIANS 46Q where the grateful Mrs. Bean taught her how to keep house and make butter As soon as it was safe to do so, the Ghigau sent Mrs. Bean under the .scort of her brother, Tuskeegeeteehee or Longfellow of Chistatoa and her Mn Hiskyteehee, or Fivekiller, sometimes known as Little Fellow, to her hus- band and family. Tuskeegee is the town name of one of the original eight subdivisions of the Cusetah, the primal peace town of the Coosas, the primordial mother tribe of the Muskogees, Choctaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles. The surtix tee-hee, means killer and therefore the Ghigau's brother's name was Tuskee- ,;ee killer, although he was known to the English by the descriptive name ■ f Longfellow on account of his stature. Hisky is the Cherokee rendering of the number, live. At the beginning of September 1780 Gates had been defeated at Cam- Jen. Savannah and Charlestown were in the hands of the British; Georgia and ^outh Carolina were conquered; the enemy exultantly moved northwest to tlie conquest of North Carolina and Virginia. This was the critical moment of the Revolution. Alexander Cameron of Lochabar, the British agent among the Cherokees and an intermarried citizen of that nation had been able to sus- tain the alliance of the Chickamaugas and many other Cherokees as well as other tribesmen with the British interests. Brave and resourceful pioneer sol- diers, dressed in homespun and buckskin, coon skinned capped with the pe- culiar rifle wilh which they were wont to shoot the head oft' of a squirrel in the tallest tree or cut the neck of the turkey at an incredible distance, held back the equally dangerous Indians and Tories while others of their kind destroyed Ferguson's crack troops at Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780 and turned the tide in favor of the Americans. While a portion of the patriots won in the Kings Mountain campaign. that part that were rearguarding the frontier became short of rations. "Nancv Ward agreed to furnish beef and had some cattle driven in."' She and her family had been consistent Americans since she had sent William Fawling- and Isaac Thomas on a hundred and twenty mile trip to warn the settlers of the proposed attack of Dragging Canoe, Abraham and Raven with their pro British Cherokee commands in July 1776.'' "When the Revolutionary War came, the British Government determined to employ the Indians against the southern and western frontiers. The or- ganization of the southern tribes was intrusted to Superintendent Stuart. Their ;;eneral plan which was only partially successful, was to land an army in wesi Florida, march them through the country of the Creeks and Chickasaws, who were each to furnish live hundred warriors and thence to Echota, the capital of the Cherokee nation. Being reinforced by the Cherokees, they were to invade the whole of the southern frontier, while the attention of the colonies was diverted by formidable naval and military demonstrations on the sea coast. Circular letters outlining the plan, intended for the information of the Tories who were expected to repair to the royal standards, were issued May '. and reached the Watauga settlement May 18, 1776. The Cherokees. when the plan was first submitted to them, were not prepared to take sides in the contest. A civil war was unknown to their na- 470 HISTORY OF THE CHEROKEE INDIANS tion, and they could hardly believe that the British government would make war'against a part of its own people. Moreover, they had been at peace with the Americans since their treaty with Governor Bell, had no new complaint against them and were living heedless, happy lives in their own towns. The campaign was planned with the utmost secrecy. It was agreed that North Carolina and Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia should be attacked simultaneously; the Overhill towns were to fall upon the back settlements of North Carolina and Virginia; the Middle towns were to invade the outlying districts of South Carolina; and the Lower towns were to strike the frontiers of Georgia. The Overhill towns which mustered about seven hundred warriors were to move in three divisions; the first, commanded by Chuconsene or Dragging Canoe, who has been called a savage Napoleon, was to march against the Holston settlements; the second under Ooskiah or Abraham of Chilhowie, a half breed chief who had fought under Washington on the frontiers of Vir- ginia, was to attack Watauga; and the third led by Colonah or the Raven of Echota was to scour Carters Valley. At this time there lived in Echota a famous Indian woman named Nancy Ward. She held the oflice of Ghigau or Beloved Woman, which not only gave her the right to speak in council, but conferred such great power that she might, by the wave of a swan's wing, deliver a prisoner condemned by the council, though already tied to the stake. She was of queenly and com- manding presence and manners and her house was furnished in a style suitable to her high dignity. She was a successful cattle raiser and is said to have been the first to introduce that industry among the Cherokees. When Nancy Ward found that her people had fallen in with the plans of Stuart and Cameron, she communicated the intelligence to a trader named Isaac Thomas and provided him with the means of setting out as an express to warn the back settlers of their danger. Thomas was a man of character and a true American, who has left distinguished descendants in the State of Louisiana. Accompanied by William Pawling, he lost no time in conveying the alarming intelligence to the people on the Watauga and Holston. His services were afterwards recognized and rewarded by the State of Virginia. The information conveyed by Thomas produced great consternation on the border. Couriers were dispatched in every direction. They had not had an Indian war since the settlement was begun, some seven years before. There was not a fort or block house from Wolf Hills westward. But preparations for defense now became nervously active; the people rushed together in everv neighborhood and hurriedly cnstructed forts and stockades. Dragging Canoe was met at Long Island on the Holston on July 20, 1776 and defeated. Fort Watauga was attacked at sunrise next morning by Abraham who was driven away after having captured Mrs. William Bean and Samuel Moore, a bov Raven upon finding the Carter's Valley in forts and prepared and having heard of the repulses of Dragging Canoe and Abraham retired without doing any damage. Upon the whole, the Indian invasion was a failure, owing to the timely warning of Nancy Ward, and the concentration of the inhabitants in forts built HISTORY OF THE CHEROKEE INDIANS 47. in consequence of the information she conveyed. If the well guarded secret ..f the Indian campaign had not been disclosed and they had been permitted to steal upon the defenseles backwoodsmen, who, in fancied security, had re- mained scattered over the extensive frontiers, every soul of them would pro- bably have been swept from the borders of Tennessee. As it was, only slight injury was inflicted on the Whites; a few were killed, some we're wounded and two were taken prisoners. The boy, Samuel Moore, was burned at the stake. The Tassel, afterwards asserted that he was the only White person burned by the Indians in Tennessee." Ghijfau for many years conducted an inn at Womankiller ford of the Ocowee River and became quite wealthy, her pioperty consisting of live stock slaves and money. The traveling public called her "Granny Ward" on ac- count of her age and the fact that she was the widow of Bryan Ward. After she got so old that she could not attend the councils, she sent her walking cane and vote on all important questions and in this manner voted at Amoah, on May 6, 1817, the renounciation of her delegated rights and in favor of the lirst constitutional enactment of the Cherokees. She died at her home at the Womankiller Ford of Ocowee River in the spring of I S24. A23. Ellis Harlans direct line of descent was: 1'. James Harlan, born about 1625 near Durham, England. !'l-'.

John Bowles was the son of a Scotch trader and a full blood Cherokee woman.

Bowles settled at Runningwater Town, one of the Chicamauga settlements near Lookout Mountain and at this place he became involved in an altercation with some pioneers who were floating down the Tennessee River and killed all the boatmen in June 1 794. Bowles and his followers now manned the boats and navigated them down to the mouth of St. Francis River in the Spanish province of Louisiana. HISTORY OF THE CHEROKEE INDIANS 473 On arriving at their dL-stination they placed all of the White women and children in a boat, relinquished to them all of the furniture which thev claimed and allowed them to descend the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Howies and his followers joined the Cherokees that had lived in that lo- cality for many years and he became their Chief in 1795 a position he held until 1813. On account of the earthquake that centered in their settlement in the winter of 1811-12, the Cherokees moved enmass to the country be- tween Arkansas and White Rivers and a few of them settled south of the former stream. In accordance with the United States Cherokee treaties the limits of the Cherokee country was marked in the spring of 18 19 by William Rector, Surveyor Oeneral of Arkansas and because it was not extended to in- clude his town on Petit Jean Creek, on the south side of Arkansas River, Howies with some sixty townsmen and their families emigrated in the winter nf t8l9-2() to the Spanish colony of Texas and settled between the Trinity and Angelina Rivers.

A large colony of Cherokee had for many years lived in this far western location residing on both sides of the river, where they stayed until this section was sold to the Osages and Pawnees and then most of them returned to the Cherokee Nation east of the ninety sixth meridian. It was several years after Reverend Elowie or Elijah had been in the ministry before he commenced to be known as Butler. He was ordained a deacon in October 1858 by Bishop Early at Skullyville.
