Bushyhead and Scotchie

[Bamamedic]

Does anyone here know of any sources for information on John Stuart of Inverness, or Alexander Cameron of Unknown, Scotland? Both were agents and liason between the Crown and Adgakala and Oconastota, Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation, and later with Adgakala's son, Tsiyugansini, leader of the Chichimaka faction of the Cherokee Nation during the Revolution. Adgakala adopted Stuart, who was named Bushyhead, and Scotchie Cameron was adopted by Adgakala's wife, Nanny Ollie of the Red Paint Clan (my many Greats Grandmother.)

Unfortunately I can't help, just wanted to say thanks for the links, very interesting reading.

Check out the various volumes of the Journal of Cherokee Studies

The Papers of Sir William Johnson have some correspondence between him and Stuart.

Blackmon's Dark and Bloody Ground

The American Revolution in Indian Country by Calloway devotes a chapter to the Cherokee, as well as the Creek and had lots of info on Stuart.
