In 1735 he with a small group of other Cherokees, went to visit
London.He was actually a rather small man, not much over 5 feet.
Most of the modern American History books contain the name of
this man as having fought with the Americans in the American
Revolution. His son, Dragging Canoe fought on the side of the
British, the Chickamagua Cherokees.
Nancy and Attacullaculla were known as Peace Chiefs. During
times of Peace the Chiefs wore white. The war council was
composed of additional chiefs and only sat on the council during
times of war. During times of war the chiefs wore Red. Thus the
color white symbolized peace and the color red symbolized war.

Attakullakulla, Supreme Chief of the Cherokee 1760 --1775. bd.
Attakullakulla or Little Carpenter, was 'Civil' or 'White'Chief,
and lived in Chota.
In 1735 he was taken along with a smallgroup of other Cherokees,
to visit London. The Indians delighted the English residents and
had their own eyes broadly opened to the attributes and
strengths of white civilization. When they returned home, the
English traders and officials made the most of this and over the
next twenty years carefully cultivated the Cherokees by offering
to help whenever the Cherokees needed it. Attakullakulla was
especially responsive and in 1757 he would be instrumental in
persuading the Governor of South Carolina to construct Fort
Loudon to strengthen England's control over the area and to
encourage more trade between the Cherokee and the Easterncoastal
towns. In addition, the Chief invited at this time several more
traders to set up headquarters in Chota and to take Cherokee
wives.
Little is known of Attakullakulla's immediate family. His wife
appears only rarely in the documentary record. In 1758
Attakullakulla wrote Lyttelton, "I deisre that you would send me
a cloak for my wife," and once he tried to exchange two
prisoners for two negro slaves to help her. In November, 1774
she accompanied him to North Carolina. In Bethabara husband and
wife listened to the peal of the organ. he had heard many organs
but she insited that the lid be reomved for she feared a child
was trapped inside. In a letter dated 1766 she is mentioned, but
nothing more. (Journal of Cherokee Studies, Vol. III, No. 1,
Winter,1978 p. 27)
Attakullakulla, he was one of the few Cherokee leaders who
depended not on words but on actions to secure a following. He
commanded respect beacuse of his courage and fighting ability,
which he ably demontrated in 1755 by netting five French
prisoners in an expedition to the Illinois-Wasbash region, and
by leading the unprecedented number of five hundred warriors to
a decisive victory at Taliwa over the creeks, who were compelled
to vacate nothern Georgia. (Supra, Jounal of Cherokee Studies.)
Cherokee Chief, 1760-1775
Notes on Attalullakulla from the Journal of Cherokee Studies,
Vol. 3, No. 1, Winter 1978
The date of Attakullakulla's birth is not known for certain, but
was probably not before 1700 nor after 1712. Attakullakulla
himself recalled that he was but a youth when he visited England
in 1730. The youngest of the seven (who went) was Okoonaka, the
White Owl, although some English newspapers persisted in calling
him Captain Owean Nakan. He was probably in his twenties and was
of remarkable small stature, slender and delicate frame.
Although he was the youngest of the seven, he was related to the
family from which many Cherokee leaders were drawn and was thus
destined for greatness if he showed the mettle to grasp the
opportunity which circumstances presented to hiim. He did, and
he became Attakullakulla, whose voice was infulential, and often
dominate, in the councils of the Cherokee Nation for nearly 50
years.
According to one of his contemporaries, Attakullakulla was born
on the Big Island of the French Broad River, later called
Sevier's Island. He was a child of the Overhill Towns which lay
along the banks of the Little Tennessee and Hiwassie rivers.
Nothing is known of his mother except that she was a sister of
Connecorte, better known as Old Hop, who was the nominal leader
of the Cherokees during the 1750's.
Of his father we know only that he was a chief. (Endnote #6:
".......says Attakullakulla and Connecorte were cousins but the
latter told the British that Attakullalulla was his nephew.")
In 1809 Major John Norton interviewed Turtle-At-Home, who
claimed to be a son of Attakullakulla, who stated that his
father was originally a Mishwakihha, one of the divisions of the
Nipissing Indians., and had been captured as an infant and
adopted by the Cherokees.) As the son of an important family, he
was probably trained at an early age in the mysteries of
statecraft and tribal tradition, but noting definetly is known
of him until he first appears in the written records of 1730.

Laxton or Lexington, three miles south by west of Tuxford, and
five miles east of Ollerton, is a considerable village on a
pleasant declivity, celebrated for having given the title of
baron to a family of its own name, and afterwards to the Suttons
of Averham. Before the Norman invasion it belonged to Tochi, and
was afterwards part of the fee of Goisford de Alselin, which was
in the reign of Henry I, divided into two great baronies
possessed by Ralph de Alselin of Shelford, and Robert de Caux of
Lexington. In the reign of John, Richard de Lexington, who had
his name from the residence of his ancestors, held lands here of
the de Caux family, and having purchased large estates at other
places, was summoned to parliament under the title of Baron
Lexington.
Henry de Lexington, the fourth Baron Lexington, died in 1257,
when the title became extinct, and his property was divided
betwixt his nephews and heirs, Richard de Mareham and William de
Sutton, from the latter of whom descended Robert Sutton who, in
1645, was created Baron Lexington of Averham, but at the death
of his successor of the same name, in 1723, the title again
became extinct, and has not since been revived, though some time
ago, it was expected to have been conferred upon that branch of
the Sutton family, now resident at Kelham, one of whom was
Charles Manners Sutton, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1792 until
his death in 1805, and his son of the same name, who long held
the office of Speaker in the House of Commons, but none of them
have any property in this parish. "
