Also known as Utsidata "Corn Tassel"; Onitositah "Thistle Head"
Also known as Co-A-To-Hee or Kayatihi or Kahnyahtahhe "First to Kill"
In June 1788, Old Tassel was killed by a renegade settler by the nameof Kirk while under a flag of truce.
From Tennessee, The Volunteer State 1769-1923, Vol. I, by JohnTrotwood Moore, 1923
...
On account of his advanced age Oconostota made the Old Tassel(Koatohee) and the Old Raven (Savanukeh) speakers for him in thetreaty of Long Island in 1777. From that time they were looked upon asthe leading men of their nation.
...
So it happened that some of the families were slow in availingthemselves of the protection of the forts. One of these was the familyof a man named Kirk, who lived on Little River. His household numberedthirteen when all were present. One day, in the absence of the fatherand his son, John, Slim Tom came to the house and asked for somethingto eat. The family knew him, allowed him to come in, and fed him.Having taken advantage of their hospitality to discover who werepresent, and their means of defense, he finished his meal andwithdrew. Soon afterwards he returned from the woods with a party ofIndians, fell upon the defenseless family, massacred the whole ofthem, and left their dead bodies in the yard.
Following this massacre the wildest excitement swept thesettlement. The Tassel remained closely at home, while Abraham, ofChilhowee, declared publicly that if his people went to war he wouldremain at his own house and never quit it. Sevier and Hubbardassembled several hundred militiamen at Hunter's Station, on Nine MileCreek, and dashed off to Hiwassee River, where they killed manywarriors, took some prisoners, burned their towns, and returned toHunter's. The next day they swept up the Little Tennessee, burnedTallassee and some other towns, killed many Indians and returned.
On their return from Tallassee the troops marched down the southbank of the Little Tennessee River. When they had gotten oppositeChilhowee, on the north of the river, they halted. Governor Sevier wasabsent, and Major Hubbard was left in command. He sent for Abraham andhis son to come over the river to him, at the same time raising a flagof truce, that they might be assured of their safety. They camewithout hesitation. He then directed them to bring The Tassel and hisson, that he might hold a talk with them. When they came he put themall in a house and surrounded it with his men. He then put a tomahawkin the hand of John Kirk, the son of him whose family had beenmassacred, and led him into the house. There, under a flag of truce,between four walls, while the soldiers on guard watched the carnage,his commanding officer standing by his side, the boy buried histomahawk in the head of the nearest Indian, who fell dead at his feet.The others, recognizing the fate intended for them, with the stoiccourage that enables the Indian warrior to face even a harsher deathwithout quailing, inclined their heads forward, cast their eyes uponthe ground, and one after another received the fatal blow.
