Chief Hokoleskwa Peter Cornstalk

Notes:

The story of Cornstalk's seizure and murder is one of the dark spots in American history.

Born about 1735 in what is now Ohio, the future chieftain was named "Hokoleskwa," meaning "maize plant"hence the English name "Cornstalk." He was also known as Keigh-tugh-qua and Wynepuechsika.

He may have had at least 8 wives and possibly as many as 30 children.

Little is known of his early life, but by 1763 he had become a Shawnee tribal chieftain and led war parties against several white settlements. He was described as being over 6 ft 6 in. tall with flowing white hair. He was spoke English well and was known for eloquent speeches before colonists.

In 1764, soldiers raided his tribal town and took him captive. He was carried to Fort Pitt as a hostage, but escaped the following year. In the following years, he became Sachem of all Shawnee tribes and finally king of the northern confederacy of Indian tribes, composed of the Shawnees, Delawares, Mingoes, Wyandottes and Cayugas.

On Oct. 10, 1774, he led 1,100 of his braves against an equal number of Colonial troops at Pt. Pleasant and after a violent battle, was defeated. Following his defeat, Cornstalk pursued a peace policy and forbade his braves to molest whites.

But in 1777, with the American Revolution at its height, he returned to Pt. Pleasant with two companions to warn settlers that the British were trying to incite his tribesmen to attack them. Fearing an attack, Colonial soldiers seized Cornstalk and his companions and imprisoned them in Fort Randolph as hostages.

A month later, Cornstalk's son, Ellinipsico, came to the fort to see his father. During his visit, a soldier walking near the fort was killed by an Indian, and other soldiers rushed to Cornstalk's quarters to kill him in revenge.

During the American Revolution the British tried to build a coalition of Indians to fight against the colonists. Chief Cornstalk alone refused to join, although many members of his tribe opposed him. Chief Cornstalk, however, had come to believe that his people's survival depended on their friendly relations with the Virginians. In the spring of 1777, he visited the garrison at Point Pleasant with a small contingent of Indians, and he informed the colonials of the coalition that was forming. While the Virginians waited for reinforcements, the Indians were held as hostages. Following the killing of a white man outside the fort by other Indians, Chief Cornstalk and his men (including his son, Elinipsico) were murdered by the soldiers.

Chief Cornstalk was admired, even by his enemies, as a fine orator and courageous warrior.

Cornstalk, who is described by historians as a handsome, intelligent, and highly honorable man, stood calmly in the doorway to his room and faced his slayers. He was felled by nearly a dozen rifle shots. The soldiers then entered the room and killed Cornstalk's son and two companions. The murder of their chieftain turned the Shawnees from a neutral people into the most implacable warriors, who raided Virginia settlements for 20 years after the incident.

In the fall of 1777, Cornstalk made a diplomatic visit to Fort Randolph, an American fort at present-day Point Pleasant, seeking as always to maintain his faction's neutrality. Cornstalk was detained by the fort commander, who had decided on his own initiative to take hostage any Shawnees who fell into his hands. When, on November 10, an American militiaman from the fort was killed nearby by unknown Indians, angry soldiers brutally executed Cornstalk, his son Elinipsico, and two other Shawnees.

Greenbrier married Ruben Kinnison ca 1757. Ruben was born 1737. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her story is similar to the one of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith. This romantic legend is based on fact, the story of Shawnee chief's daughter marrying a British soldier. Oral tradition says that Bolin Baker was captured by the Shawnee in 1756 while serving in General Benjamin Braddock's army during the French and Indian War and taken to Chief Cornstalk's village. He was forced to run the gauntlet and his courage gained him the admiration of Chief Cornstalk's daughter Aracoma. She persuaded her father to make him a member of the Shawnee. They were married.

Logan County tradition says that Aracoma and Baker moved into Logan County, WV sometime close to the year 1760 and lived in peace on Midelburg Island in the Guyandotte River in what is today's city of Logan until 1780.

Aracoma is credited with settling the conflict between the native population and the settlers through her marriage to a white man, Boling Baker.

An Indian raid on the frontier settlement on the Bluestone River in the western part of Virginia in 1780 led to a pursuit, resulting in a battle within the present site of the city of Logan.

She was killed by white men led by John Breckenridge and William Madison during the Revolutionary War, perhaps in the spring of 1780 after Baker led Indians to steal horses from New River Valley settlers.

Aracoma received fatal wounds. She asked to be buried with her children who died of a plague. They had been buried in a location just above the bend in the Guyandotte river.

In 1915, when the Abdoney building was being constructed on the 100 block of Stratton Street in Logan, the workmen uncovered a grave. In it was a skeleton of a young woman and a necklace of buckhorn beads. The string had rotted away, but the necklace was still arranged around the neck. The odd and haunting irony was that the skeleton was buried at the bend of the Guyandotte, almost exactly where the old and half forgotten traditions claimed was the final resting place of Aracoma.

When Logan County Courthouse was chartered by the Virginia General Assembly in 1852, the town was named Aracoma, in her honor, but the name was changed to Logan in 1907 to conform with the name of the local post office.

The story of Aracoma and Bolin Baker is reenacted every summer in an outdoor drama in Logan Co. WV.

This is what is known about him.

He was the youngest son of Cornstalk ans was described as being over six feet tall. He spoke some English. He participated in the Cornstalk War in 1765, the Pontiac War in 1766 with raids into the the Little Kanawha and Big Sany River Valleys. He was an emmissary for Cornstalk to Point Pleasant in 1775, and became a chief in 1777. He and his father were murdered at Point Pleasant.

According to James Red Wolf, after Chief Cornstalk and his son, Elinipsico were murdered at Point Pleasant, his children were adopted by the Long Hunters.

From the VIRGINIA GAZETTE 3 April 1778

By HIS Excellency PATRICK HENRY Governor, or Chief Magistrate of the Commonwealth of VIRGINIA

A PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS a most barbarous murder was on the tenth day of November last committed by a number of persons belonging to a detachment of the militia of this state an Indian chief called CORNSTALK, his son, and two other Indians at Fort Randolph on the Ohio, although the said Indians had been convicted of no hostile act or purpose, and were at that time under the pl ghted (sic) protection of the garrison of the place, whereby a deep wound has been given to the honor and faith of this country, the laws of the state have been most flagrantly violated, and the vengeance of a cruel enemy provoked on the innocent inhabitants of the western frontiers, as well as a dangerous example given to licentious and bloodthirsty men wantonly to involve their country in the horrours of a savage war; and whereas it appears from sundry depositions transmitted to me that James Hall of the county of Rockbridqe, and Malcolm McCown of Augusta, Adam Barnes of Greenbrier, William Roane of Rockbridge and Hugh Galbreath of Rockbridge were deeply concerned in promoting and perpetrating the said outrage, I do by and with the advice of the Council of State issue this my proclamation strictly requiring the citizens of this commonwealth, more especially all officers civil and military, to use the most vigorous exertions to bring these seperate offenders to the punishment due their guilt. And as an encouragement thereto, as well as a proof of the public abhorrence of such detestable crimes, I do offer to such person or persons as shall secure any of the offenders so that they be brought to justice the following rewards that is for James Hall 200 dollars, for Malcolm McCown 150 dollars, for Adam Barnes, William Roane and Hugh Galbreath i00 dollars each.

Given under my hand at the Council Chamber in the city of Williamsburg this 27th day of March in the second year of the commonwealth, Anno Dom 1778

There is a lot of discussion on the Christian family forums on Rootsweb, Ancestry, and Genealogy.com about this possible parentage of Thomas Bailey Christian and Rachel Skaggs.

There has been no definitive proof on this, although Mr. Red Wolf alludes to "proof" in the Virginia State Archives, but has not shared any proof beyond oral history from one part of the Christian and Skaggs families.

The author confirms Parker V. Adkins as the father of Littleberry and Charity Adkins. He states that Parker abandoned Mary when he returned east, but returned for the children after her death.

However, DNA and research have debunked the Parker Adkins and Blue Sky story. Here is the link to the research on this topic:

Notes:

As the daughter of Chief Cornstalk and niece of Tecumseh of the Shawnee nation, most probably this connection to the Greater Huron Nations and the Algonquin Indian tribes saved the family and helped them to return Virginia by 1775 to 1777. Thomas Soward was familiar with the Turkey Cove area in the Powell Valley, in what is now Scott County VA, as Thomas Berry, William McGaughy, and he went there to hunt buffalo in 1770 or 1771.

Jonas married his first cousin Susannah Whitt, daughter of Archibald Whitt. Archibald was the brother of Hezekiah Whitt, father of Jonas. Jonas Followed his father Hezekiah Whitt to Tazewell county after David Crockett Whitt was born, around 1837.
After Susannah died about 1839, (probably in child birth with Hannah) Jonas took his son David Crockett, and Moved to Greenup County Kentucky. This trip of about 200 miles had to be hard. Jonas went to KY. to build a grist mill on Big White Oak Creek Farm, for Dr.Samuel Truitt, The Post Master of Truittsville. How this Job and move come about I have not found out.(Most likely through Richard Nelson "Devil Dick" Whitt, his brother who lived the next county over from Greenup, Carter County Kentucky) Samuel Truitt had a daughter named Milred who Married Jonas on 08 Feb.1848.
I visited the cemetery on a bluff overlooking Big White Oak Creek where Jonas is buried. I was shown the trace where Jonas dug for the mill. It is grown up with brush and briars now. David Crockett Whitt son of Jonas and Susannah was a young boy when he went to Ky. with his father Jonas. Crockett was born in 1836 and Jonas remarried in 1848, makeing David Crockett about 12 at the time.
David Crockett Whitt moved back to Virigina sometime between 1848 and 1859 where He married Arminda Robinett. D.C. Whitt's family lived in Tazewell and Russell County VA.
